The nurse noticed that an 8-month-old child's posterior fontanel is slightly open. Which of the following should the nurse do next

A.Check the child's head circumference.

B.Question the mother about the child's delivery.

C.Schedule an X-ray of the child's head.

D.Document this as a normal finding.

答案

参考答案:A

解析:The posterior fontanel usually closes by age 2 to 3 months. Therefore, the nurse should measure the head circumference to determine if the child's head is larger than the established norms because hydrocephalus can cause separation of the cranium sutures.
