Pediatric Ot Practice Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the correct management?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: For a 1-year-old (10 kg) with anaphylaxis (urticaria, wheeze post-peanut ingestion), the correct adrenaline dose is 0.15 mL of 1:1000 IM (0.15 mg), per guidelines (0.01 mg/kg).
Choice A (0.1 mL 1:1000) is 0.1 mg, underdosing.
Choice B (0.1 mL 1:10,000) is 0.01 mg, far too low.
Choice C (1 mL 1:10,000) is 0.1 mg, still inadequate.
Choice D (0.1 mL 1:10,000 S
C) is incorrect dose and route (IM preferred). None match the standard, but typically 0.15 mL 1:1000 IM is correct.
Question 2 of 5
The characteristic skin lesions of Pseudomonas are:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Ecthyma gangrenosum is the classic Pseudomonas lesion, featuring necrotic ulcers, especially in immunocompromised patients (IDS
A). Erythema multiforme is immune-related, nodules are nonspecific, pustular melanosis is neonatal, and cellulitis lacks specificity.
Question 3 of 5
The daily amount of intralipid required in preterm infants to prevent essential fatty acid deficiency is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Standard is 0.5-1 g/kg/day of intralipid, not mg/kg (ASPEN). Assuming a typo, 0.5 g/kg aligns with A’s intent as the minimal dose to prevent deficiency.
Question 4 of 5
A child is admitted in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) after a motor vehicle accident. The mother is acting very hostile towards the PICU staff. The appropriate way to handle the situation is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Counseling addresses the mother’s distress, improving cooperation while prioritizing care (AAP). Options A-D avoid or worsen the situation.
Question 5 of 5
Best diagnostic study to detect the carrier of adrenoleukodystrophy is:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Elevated very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCF
A) in plasma is the standard carrier test for adrenoleukodystrophy (NOR
D). A, C-E are less specific or confirmatory.
