Extract:
A nurse is assessing a 2-year-old toddler.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Nontender, protruding abdomen. This finding is expected in a child with kwashiorkor, a form of severe protein-energy malnutrition. The nontender, protruding abdomen is due to fluid accumulation in the abdomen (ascites) and the lack of muscle mass. This is a key characteristic of kwashiorkor. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) Head circumference exceeding chest circumference is not a typical finding in children;
B) Fontanels should be soft and flat in infants, not palpable;
C) Natural loss of deciduous teeth occurs around age 6-12 years, not in infancy.
