Practice questions
- A preterm infant is seen regularly after hospital discharge. Which set of measurements is recommended for continuous growth monitoring in the ESPGHAN position paper?
- At what point does the ESPGHAN position paper specifically recommend including weight-for-length z-scores in assessment to help identify disproportionate growth?
- A preterm infant's weight is increasing after discharge, but length is not keeping pace. Which additional measure is specifically recommended at term-equivalent age to help assess whether growth is disproportionate?
- A preterm infant is discharged with significant deficits in both weight and length, exceeding a −2 SD loss. According to the ESPGHAN position paper, which approach is most appropriate?
- Which feeding approach is highly recommended for preterm infants after discharge when feasible?
- A breastfed preterm infant has a growth pattern indicating a need for catch-up growth. Which intervention is given as an example of supplementation in the ESPGHAN position paper?
- For a formula-fed preterm infant who needs catch-up growth, which nutrient-composition features does the ESPGHAN position paper emphasize?
- A caregiver asks when to start solid foods for a preterm infant. Which principle is recommended in the ESPGHAN position paper?
- According to the supplied ESPGHAN position-paper abstract, vitamin D and iron supplementation for preterm infants is recommended through at least which age, with regular ferritin monitoring?
- A clinician is planning iron supplementation follow-up for a preterm infant. Which monitoring measure is specifically paired with iron supplementation in the ESPGHAN position paper?
- A preterm infant remains at high risk of growth faltering after discharge. Which care arrangement is consistent with the ESPGHAN position paper?
