    Which strategy is appropriate when feeding the infant with congestive heart failure?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Feeding frequency should be individualized and may need to be more frequent with smaller volumes. B. Larger volumes increase energy expenditure and fatigue; not recommended. C. Prolonging feeding times increases fatigue, which can worsen CHF symptoms. D. Infants with CHF often tire easily; limiting feeding to 30 minutes reduces energy expenditure and prevents fatigue and fluid overload.
