The assessment is also notable for wide-spaced, downward-slanting eyes that resemble the baby’s father. The baby is pink, well-perfused, and breathing comfortably with normal heart and lung sounds. The mother reports the child is breastfeeding every 2 hours and has voided and stooled several times. Which additional assessment is most important?
