Question 1 of 5
Immunization of children with Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine decreases the incidence of which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Immunization of children with Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) vaccine decreases the incidence of severe infections caused by Haemophilus influenzae type B bacteria, including epiglottitis. Epiglottitis is a serious condition where the epiglottis, a flap of tissue that sits at the base of the tongue, becomes inflamed and can swell, potentially blocking the airway and leading to respiratory distress and even death. By vaccinating children against Hib, the risk of developing epiglottitis is significantly reduced. The Hib vaccine is a crucial component of childhood immunization programs to prevent life-threatening diseases caused by Hib bacteria, including epiglottitis.
Question 2 of 5
The health-care provider diagnosed a child with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. The parents expressed their concern to you that their child's leg will be amputated. How should you respond?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, also known as Perthes disease, is a condition where there is a temporary loss of blood supply to the hip, leading to the breakdown of the hip joint. While in severe cases amputation may be considered as a treatment option, it is important to reassure the parents that not all children with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease require amputation. The course of treatment will depend on the severity of the condition and the individual child's response to different therapies. Therefore, it is crucial to emphasize that amputation is not the automatic outcome for all cases of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease. Encouraging the parents to discuss their concerns with the healthcare provider can provide more specific information and guidance tailored to their child's condition.
Question 3 of 5
A parent asks the nurse to define Talipes Varus. The nurse tells the parent that it is which of the following?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Talipes Varus is a congenital deformity that involves the inward bending or inversion of the foot. The word "varus" specifically refers to the inward deviation of a body part, such as the foot in this case. This condition is also known as clubfoot, where the foot is twisted internally and downward. Treatment typically involves gentle manipulation and stretching of the foot, followed by casting or bracing to gradually correct the position of the foot.
Question 4 of 5
ahmed 2 months old come to emergency department with epistaxis and prolong PTT, clotting and bleeding time , what you suspect ahmed have :
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Ahmed is presenting with epistaxis (nosebleed) and prolonged PTT (partial thromboplastin time), clotting time, and bleeding time, which are indicative of a bleeding disorder. Given the symptoms and lab findings, hemophilia is the most likely cause. Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder characterized by deficiency or dysfunction of clotting factors, particularly Factor VIII (hemophilia A) or Factor IX (hemophilia B). Patients with hemophilia often present with spontaneous bleeding episodes, such as nosebleeds, bruising, and prolonged bleeding after injury or surgery. Thalassemia, leukemia, and sickle cell anemia are not associated with prolonged clotting times and bleeding presentations, making hemophilia the most appropriate choice in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
recurrent urinary tract infection in children cause:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children can potentially cause growth disturbance. UTIs in children can result in poor weight gain, failure to thrive, and reduced height due to the stress and inflammatory response on the body. Chronic inflammation from recurrent UTIs can affect a child's overall health and development, leading to growth disturbances. It is essential to promptly treat and prevent recurrent UTIs in children to avoid potential long-term complications such as growth disturbances. Arthritis, recurrent rash, and behavioral disturbances are not typically associated with recurrent UTIs in children.
