Explanation / Answer

1.Typically a neonates growth is generally referred to in terms of cephalocaudal or proximodistal patterns . The cephalocaudal pattern is where the greatest development takes place at the top of the body, i.e. the head, and physical development moves gradually downwards: e.g. neck, shoulders, trunk, etc. What this means is that the development of the head and brain tends to be more advanced (in the sense that it occurs first) than the rest of the body. This pattern is largely complete by the beginning of adulthood, though of course other aspects of development continues throughout life. The proximodistal pattern of development is where growth starts at the center of the body and moves towards the extremities. An example of such a pattern is the early development of muscular control of the trunk and arms relative to the hands and fingers.Thus, the spine develops first in the uterus, followed by the extremities and finally the fingers and toes. 2.A child is said to have failure to thrive when they don’t meet recognized standards of growth. Failure to thrive isn’t a disease or disorder. Instead, it describes a situation in which a child is undernourished and either doesn’t receive or is unable to process enough calories. An example of failure to thrive (FTT) would be a child who is persistently below the standard weight range for their developmental stage. Typically, a doctor will diagnose failure to thrive during a child’s infant years. A doctor determines a child’s ideal weight by comparing their weight, age, and gender to national averages. Children who fail to thrive usually fall well below their ideal weight. A child may also be diagnosed with FTT if their growth rate in terms of height stalls when it should be on an upward trend. Children who have serious medical problems during the early years of their life can develop FTT. Children who are born prematurely and have low birth weight may also fail to thrive. Some children who fail to thrive exhibit the following symptoms: lack of weight gain delays in reaching developmental milestones such as rolling over, crawling, and talking learning disabilities lack of emotions such as smiling, laughing, or making eye contact delayed motor development fatigue irritability delayed puberty in teens Due to time limit,remaining questions can be asked as another question,they will be answered,thankyou for your cooperation
