When you take the bottle into the room, you notice a growth chart next to the bed tracking
the FOC measurement at least once per shift. Baby Girl R.'s FOC has increased to 38.5 cm.
Using the appropriate CDC growth chart (www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/data/who/grchrt_
girls_24hdcirc-l4w_9210.pdf), is the following statement true or false? The FOC is close to
the 95th percentile and can be monitored less frequently because this is a normal finding.
(Explain your answer)
False
The increasing FOC from the 90th percentile at birth to above the 95th percentile in a few days
is concerning. Patients with myelomeningocele are at an increased risk for hydrocephalus, and an
increasing FOC might indicate the need for a VP shunt to drain the excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
