MODEL RELEASED. Home consultation. A general practice doctor on a home visit examines a child by pressing a stethoscope to its back. The child sits up in bed,looking thin and malnourished. It is suffering from a disorder known as failure to thrive. Failure to thrive is usually assessed by comparing the rate at which a child gains weight with a standardized growth chart. Undernourishment may be due to parental neglect or an inadequate diet. Or it may be due to a serious physical disorder such as congenital heart disease,kidney failure,or food malabsorption. Close observation of the child for a week or two usually reveals the cause | |
