Pediatrics Chapter 10: Health Problems of Infants

In this Pediatrics episode, we walk through Chapter 10, which focuses on common health problems affecting infants, with an emphasis on nutrition, growth, and feeding-related disorders. We’ll review nutritional and vitamin imbalances, including iron deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and mineral disturbances, as well as conditions such as food allergies, cow’s milk protein allergy, and anaphylaxis. You’ll also hear an overview of failure to thrive, including risk factors, assessment findings, diagnostic considerations, and nursing care management. This episode provides a detailed, exam-focused review to help nursing students recognize early signs of infant health problems and apply appropriate nursing interventions to support optimal growth and development.Source: All information in this podcast is based on Wong’s Essentials of Pediatric Nursing, Chapter 10
