During a home visit, the nurse suspects that a newborn is at risk for failure to thrive (FTT). Which statement by the child's mother support the nurse's suspicions?
A) "I do not like to cook."
B) "I need help learning to breastfeed my baby."
C) "I have a glass of wine with dinner once a week."
D) "I stopped taking Wellbutrin because I was concerned about it affecting my baby."
Answer: D
The mother who is taking Wellbutrin is most likely experiencing depression and anxiety, which may interfere with her interacting appropriately with her infant and puts the child at risk for failure to thrive. A glass of wine once a week is appropriate. The mother's aversion to cooking will not affect the infant. Needing help with breastfeeding is normal for a first-time mother.
