The most common neonatal sepsis and meningitis infections seen within 24 hours after birth are caused by which organism?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Escherichia coli is the most common cause of early-onset neonatal sepsis and meningitis within 24 hours after birth. E. coli can be transmitted from the mother to the infant during delivery, particularly if there is prolonged rupture of membranes or maternal infection. Infections caused by E. coli in newborns can be severe and life-threatening. It is important to identify and promptly treat infections caused by E. coli in neonates to prevent complications and improve outcomes.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Assessing the radial and ulnar pulses is crucial in evaluating the circulation of blood to the hand. However, in this scenario of a fractured arm, the injury is distal to the hand (further away from the body). It is more critical to check capillary refill, finger movement, and skin integrity in the area distal to the injury to ensure there is no compromise to the blood flow, nerve function, or skin integrity following the injury. Checking the radial and ulnar pulse would be more relevant if the injury was closer to the wrist area, as it would directly impact these pulses.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: When caring for someone with a seizure disorder like Janae, the highest priority is ensuring their immediate safety and protection from injury during a seizure. This includes preventing falls, removing nearby hazards, and providing support during and after the seizure. Assessing for signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure is also important as it may indicate a serious complication requiring prompt medical attention. On the other hand, educating the family about anticonvulsant therapy, while important for long-term management, is considered a lower priority compared to the immediate safety and medical assessment needs of Janae during a seizure episode.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease, is a genetic disorder that affects collagen production, leading to brittle and easily fractured bones. In addition to bone fragility, individuals with osteogenesis imperfecta may also experience teeth abnormalities such as dentinogenesis imperfecta (discolored and weakened teeth) and ligament laxity due to the improper development of connective tissues. This incomplete development of teeth, bones, and ligaments is a characteristic feature of osteogenesis imperfecta, making it the correct choice in this scenario. Congenital hip dysplasia, Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, and osteomyelitis do not typically involve the same constellation of symptoms related to teeth, bones, and ligaments seen in osteogenesis imperfecta.
