, Nelson Pediatrics Review(MCQs) 19 Edition e e e e1. Which of the following statements regarding foster care is true?
e e e e e e e e e
□A permanency plan must be made for a child in foster care no later than 12 mo from the child's entry into care
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
□A minority of children in foster care have a history of abuse or neglect
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
□The mission of foster care is to safely care for children while providing services to families to promote reunification
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
□Most (>70%) of children in foster care are reunited with their families
e e e e e e e e e e e
■ A and C e e
description The mission of foster care is to provide for the health, safety, and well-being of children while
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
eassistingtheir families with services to promote reunification. Children entering foster care have frequently
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
eexperienced early childhood trauma. More than 70% have a history of abuse, neglect, or both. Only about
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
e50% of children achieve reunification. In the USA, the Adoption and Safe Families Act (P.L. 105-89) passed in
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
e1997 requires that a permanency plan be made for each child no later than 12 mo after entry to foster care and
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
ethat a petition to terminate parental rights typically must be filedwhen a child has been in foster care for at least
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
e 15 of the previous22 mo. (See Chapter 35, page 134, and e35-1.)
e e e e e e e e e e e e
2. A 4 yr old girl is admitted to the hospital for her third evaluation for vaginal bleeding. The
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
mother noted bright red blood on the child's underwear. Previous examinations revealed
e e e e e e e e e e e
eanormal 4 yr old girl, Tanner stage 1, with normal external genitalia. Pelvic ultrasound
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
resultswere normal, as was the serum estradiol level. The hemoglobin and platelet
e e e e e e e e e e e e
ecounts were normal, as were the bleeding time and coagulation studies. Findings on pelvic
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
examination conducted under anesthesia also were normal. The next step in the examination
e e e e ee e e ee ee e e e e
eis to: e
■ Determine the blood type of the blood on the underwear e e e e e e e e e
□Interrogate the father e e
□Isolate the parents and child e e e e
□Determine von Willebrand factor levels e e e e
, □Measure fibronectin in the vagina e e e e
description Consideration of factitious disorder by proxy should be triggered when the reported symptoms are
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
erepeatedly noted by only one parent, appropriate testing fails to confirm a diagnosis, and seemingly appropriate
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
etreatment is ineffective. At times, the child's symptoms, their course, or the response to treatment may be
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
eincompatible with any recognized disease.Preverbal children are usually involved. Bleeding is a particularly
e e e e e e e e e e e e
e common presentation. This may be caused by adding dyes to samples, adding blood (e.g., from the mother) to the
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
echild's sample, or giving the child an anticoagulant (e.g., warfarin). (See Chapter 37, page 146.)
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
3. Munchausen syndrome by proxy is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT: e e e e e e e e e e e
□Mother who appears devoted and wins over members of care team
e e e e e e e e e e
□Multiple hospitalizations e e and investigations without diagnosis
e e e
□Symptoms on history but not witnessed by medical team e e e e e e e e
■ Symptoms occurring in presence of different caregivers (e.g., while mother is out of town)
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
□Use of medications or toxins
e e e e
description Symptoms in young children are mostly associated with proximity of the offending caregiver to the
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
echild.The mother may present as a devoted or even model parent who forms close relationships with members
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
eof the health care team. While appearing very interested in her child's condition, she may be relatively distant
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
eemotionally. (See Chapter 37, page 146.) e e e e e
4. Which statement is false? e e e
■ Malnutrition is the second leading cause of acquired immune deficiency worldwide behind HIV infection
e e e e e e e e e e e e e
□Zinc is important in immune function
e e e e e e and linear growth e e
□Kwashiorkor and marasmus are rare in developed countries e e e e e e e
□The e Western diet is associated with increased noncommunicable disease
e e e e e e e
description The significant global burden of malnutrition and undernutrition is the leading worldwide cause of
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
eacquiredimmunodeficiency and the major underlying factor for morbidity and mortality globally for children <5 yr of
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
eage. Zinc is a micronutrient that supports multiple metabolic functions in the body, is essential for normal immune
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
efunctioning, and is required to support linear growth; zinc deficiency is associated with impaired immune
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
efunctioning and poor linear growth. In parallel to the risk for nutrient and energy deficiencies, issues relating to
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
eexcesses pose important challenges because of theirjnegative health effects, such as obesity or cardiovascular disease
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
erisk factors. The nutrition transition under way in the
e e e e e e e e
, developing world from traditional diets to the Western diet has been associated with increases in noncommunicable
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
diseases, often coexisting with undernutrition and malnutrition, observed sometimes in the same communities or even
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
thesame families. (See e41-1.)

5. Components of energy expenditure in children include: e e e e e e
□Thermal effect of food e e e
□Basal metabolic rate e e
□Energy e for physical activity e e
□Energy to support growth e e e
■ All of the abovee e e
description The 3 components of energy expenditure in adults are the basal metabolic rate, the thermal effect
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
of food (energy required for digestion and absorption), and energy for physical activity. Additional energy intake and
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
expenditure are required to support growth and development for children. (See e41-4.)
e e e e e e e e e e e e
6. Which of the following clinical scenarios increases the risk of vitamin A deficiency?
e e e e e e e e e e e e
□Vegetarian e diet
□Chronic intestinal disorders e e
□Zinc deficiency e
■ B and C e e
□All of the above e e e
description Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient because it cannot be biogenerated de novo by animals. It
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
must be obtained from plants in the form of provitamin-A carotenoids. In the USA, grains and vegetables
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
supplyapproximately 55% and dairy and meat products supply approximately 30% of vitamin A intake from
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
food.
e
Vitamin A and the provitamins-A are fat soluble, and their absorption depends on the presence of adequate
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
lipidand protein within the meal.Chronic intestinal disorders or lipid malabsorption syndromes can result in
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
vitamin A deficiency. In developing countries, subclinical or clinical zinc deficiency can increase the risk of
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e
vitamin A deficiency. There is also some evidence of marginal zinc intakes in children in the USA. (See Chapter
