Children one year of age typically begin to experience stranger anxiety and separation anxiety Children between the ages of two and six years are afraid of figments of their imagination (e.g., the bogeyman), as well as animals and the dark. Children who are elementary school age are more afraid of injuring themselves physically or losing a loved one, such as a parent. Adolescents and teens are scared of failing or not being accepted socially.

Explanation:

Tanner I stage indicates a penis, scrotum, and testes of a normal childhood size. When the testicles begin to enlarge, but the penis size remains the same, the Tanner II stage is designated. It is not until the Tanner III stage that the penis size grows in length, and in the Tanner IV stage penis size grows in breadth. The Tanner V stage indicates an adult size penis and accompanying genitalia.

Explanation:

The most important single method of confirming the adequacy of a baby´s food intake is which one of the following?

Explanation:

Separation anxiety occurs in normal development as infants develop clear preferences for social contact with persons who give them the most care. It usually occurs at six to eight months of age when a child becomes anxious when unfamiliar faces or persons who are not their caretakers approach them.

Explanation:

Typically children under the age of fifteen months do not walk bipedally very well. The fifteen month well baby office visit coincides well with the ability of children to walk on their own.

Explanation:

Up to approximately two years of age, children have no real concept of danger. Therefore, it is imperative during this period to monitor the activities of a playing child.

Explanation:

There is a shift to predominantly solid foods at 10 months. Before that, predominantly semi-solid foods are given.

Explanation:

DiGeorge syndrome is due to malformation of epithelial elements of the third and fourth pharyngeal pouches, leading to thymic aplasia or severe hypoplasia, and sometimes absence of the parathyroids. Clinically, the condition is classified as a selective T- cell deficiency, but varying degrees of deficiency of antibody production may also be seen. Affected infants are susceptible to fungal and viral infections, and may exhibit tetany due to severe hypocalcemia. Congenital rubella syndrome is associated with patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary stenosis, microcephaly, cataracts, and deafness. Trisomy 13, or Patau syndrome, is associated with microphthalmia, microcephaly, polydactyly, cardiac defects, renal defects, umbilical hernia and rocker-bottom feet. Trisomy 18 or Edwards syndrome is associates with mental retardation, low set, ears micrognathia, short neck, overlapping fingers, heart defects, kidney defects, limited hip abduction and rocker bottom feet. Velocardiofacial syndrome is a condition related to DiGeorge syndrome that involves prominent nose retrognathia cleft palate cardiovascular anomalies and learning disabilities. Less frequently these patients also have immunodeficiencies.

Explanation:

The incidence is roughly 1 in 1200 births for women less than 30 and this incidence can rise to 1 in 60 by the age of 42.
Maternal age also affects the incidence of hydrocephalus, anencephaly and other chromosomal disorders.

Explanation:

Salicylate poisoning can cause vomiting, tinnitus, confusion, hyperthermia, respiratory alkalosis, metabolic acidosis, and multiple organ failure. Diagnosis is clinical, supplemented by measurement of the anion gap, ABGs, and serum salicylate levels. Treatment is with activated charcoal and alkaline diuresis or hemodialysis.
ABGs suggest primary respiratory alkalosis during the 1st few hours after ingestion, later, they suggest compensated metabolic acidosis. ASA toxicity in children leads to high anion gap metabolic acidosis and compensatory respiratory alkalosis; (due to tachypnea). Therefore, the pH will be low or normal (due to compensation), The HCO3 will be low (due to metabolic acidosis) and the pCO2 will be low (due to respiratory compensation).

Explanation:

For an infant, abdominal thrusts are not performed. Instead, the infant is turned face down, the chest resting on the rescuer´s forearm, with the head lower than the body. The rescuer then strikes the infant “between the shoulder blades 5 times using the heel of the hand (back blows). The strikes should be firm but not hard enough to cause injury. The rescuer then checks the mouth, removing any visible objects. If the airway remains blocked, the rescuer turns the infant face up with the head down, and using the second and third fingers, thrusts “inward and upward on the infant´s breastbone 5 times (chest thrusts). The rescuer then checks the mouth again. Blind sweeps of the throat should not be done initially as they may lodge the obstructing article even further.

Explanation:

In an infant or child who has failure to thrive (FTT), which of the following is most likely to provide the basis for making the correct diagnosis?

Explanation:

At two years of age, a child is likely to begin to use words such as “I,” “me,” and “you,” and often talks incessantly. Choice A occurs at 18 months. At two years, the child is likely to turn pages of a book singly. Choices C and D, and E usually occur at three years of age.

Explanation:

Vitamin D toxicity is associated with hypercalcemia, as well as constipation, and sometimes nephrocalcinosis. Vitamin E toxicity may cause a necrotizing enterocolitis and hepatitis in children. Vitamin K toxicity, although uncommon, may cause vomiting and hemolysis, as well as albuminuria and hemoglobinuria. Pantothenic acid toxicity is associated with diarrhea. Pyridoxine toxicity, while very rare, is associated with peripheral sensory neuropathy.

Explanation:

During the stage of formal operations, which, if achieved, is done between the ages of 12 and adulthood. An individual becomes able to deal effectively with abstract thoughts and ideas. In addition, the individual is effectively able to utilize metaphor and analogy as a means of communication and understanding. It is important to note that not all individuals will achieve this level of complex thought. Some individuals will be halted at the concrete operations stage, never quite being able to comprehend or use the abilities that are achieved during the formal operations stage.

Explanation:

Children less than one year of age are most often scared of loud noises, heights, and lack of physical support. Children one year of age typically begin to experience stranger anxiety and separation anxiety. Children between the ages of two and six years are afraid of figments of their imagination (e.g., the bogeyman), as well as animals and the dark. Children who are elementary school age are more afraid of injuring themselves physically or losing a loved one, such as a parent.

Explanation:

In a child who exhibits enuresis, it is important not to be negative regarding the child´s bed wetting state. Keeping track of “wet” and “dry” nights will allow the child to visualize progress that he has made, which can then be rewarded. Getting a child to urinate directly before going to bed may also be a good idea. The child needs to understand his medical problem and, only in this way can blame and guilt be removed from the child´s psyche. It is not a good idea to punish a child for a “wet” night because the added stress only exacerbates the frequency of enuresis.
