Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

FTT can be caused by underlying medical conditions such as cardiac anomaly, which can affect a child's ability to gain weight and thrive. Poor nutrition and low birth weight can also contribute to FTT, but in this case, a specific medical condition has been diagnosed. The option C of parents not waking up for night feeds is not enough to cause FTT solely.
