    The key takeaways are about an infant with ineffective feeding due to prematurity and hypotonia. Nursing care involves supporting the mother's efforts to feed the infant and monitoring for signs of dehydration.

    The assessment is that the infant is unable to suck effectively, coordinate sucking, swallowing and breathing, and has inconsistent oral intake. The diagnosis is ineffective infant feeding pattern related to hypotonia secondary to prematurity.

    Nursing interventions include providing a calm environment for feeding, positioning the infant on their side or prone with head elevated, encouraging the mother, weighing the infant daily, assessing feeding techniques and parental anxiety, and monitoring for signs of dehydration.
