Question 1 of 5
A nurse recognizes unexplained fussiness and irritability in an infant, as well as unexplained injuries. The nurse should suspect which of the following?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Sexual abuse: While sexual abuse can cause physical and emotional symptoms, the combination of unexplained injuries and fussiness/irritability is more suggestive of physical trauma. Neglect: Neglect involves failure to provide for the child's basic needs, which can lead to developmental issues, but is less likely to cause unexplained injuries. Munchausen syndrome by proxy: Munchausen syndrome by proxy involves a caregiver fabricating or inducing illness in a child for attention. It can cause unexplained injuries, but the focus is more on medical symptoms. Shaken baby syndrome: Shaken baby syndrome results from violently shaking an infant, leading to physical injuries, irritability, and fussiness. It fits the description of unexplained injuries and behavioral changes.
