Parents bring a 10-month-old boy with myelomeningocele and hydrocephalus with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to the emergency department. his symptoms include vomiting, poor feeding, lethargy, and irritability. what interventions by the nurse are appropriate? select all that apply.

The nurse can check if the ventriculoperitoneal shunt is either clogged, is not working, and if the length is still appropriate for the child’s current height or length. Checking the length is important because the child is growing and the previous length of the shunt might be too short for it to function well.

children tend to take more after their grandparents more than their parents. it’s the dna you received that was passed down to you somewhere in your family. maybe one of your grandparents had/has straight hair and you might have gotten it from them.
