Q 
53. A toddler with congenital heart disease is seen for a 1-week history of facial and lower-extremity edema accompanied by shortness of breath. The child’s mother reports that the child’s appetite has been poor. The chest x-ray reveals that the child has congestive heart failure (CHF).

Q
  1. A new mother who is on her fourth day of breastfeeding complains to the nurse practitioner of very sore breasts. The nurse practitioner would:
    A) Recommend a decrease in the number of times she breastfeeds her infant per day
    B) Recommend that she stop breastfeeding and use infant formula for the next 48 hours
    C) Educate the mother that this is normal during the first week or 2 of breastfeeding and the soreness will eventually go away
    D) Recommend that she purchase plastic nipple pads for her nursing bra and use them daily
A

C) Educate the mother that this is normal during the first week or 2 of breastfeeding and the soreness will eventually go away
Nursing during the first 2 weeks after delivery may cause tenderness and soreness of the nipples and usually
resolves after this. The mother should continue to breastfeed as she has been advised, and she should make sure the infant is latching on appropriately.

Q
  1. Café-au-lait spots look like tan-to-light brown stains that have irregular borders. They can be located anywhere on the body. Which of the following is a correct statement?
    A) They are associated with neurofibromatosis or von Recklinghausen’s disease
    B) They may be considered as precancerous after a biopsy
    C) They are more common in darker-skinned children
    D) They are associated with Wilson’s disease
A

A) They are associated with neurofibromatosis or von Recklinghausen’s disease
Café-au-lait spots are caused by an increase in melanin content, often with the presence of giant melanosomes. They have irregular borders and vary in color from light to dark brown. Neurofibromatosis causes tumors to grow in the nervous system, and these tumors commonly cause skin changes that are seen as café-au-lait spots.

Q
  1. The mother of a 13-year-old male with Down syndrome is in the family nurse practitioner’s office and wants a sports physical done for her son. She reports that he wants to join the football team in his school. You would tell the mother that her son:

Q
  1. A new mother is planning on breastfeeding her newborn infant for at least 6 months. She wants to know whether she should give the infant vitamins. Which of the following vitamin supplements is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (APA) latest guideline during the first few days of life?

    D) Folic acid drops
A

A) Vitamin D drops
According to the APA, all infants should be given Vitamin D supplementation within the first few days of life. Mothers who plan to breastfeed their infants should be taught how to use Vitamin D drops. Infant formula is supplemented with Vitamin D (and many other vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 oil), so there is no need to give it separately.

43
Q
  1. You are reviewing the bilirubin level on a 3-day-old full-term neonate. You note that it is 10 mg/dL. The infant has a slight yellow color to his skin, mucous membranes, and sclera. The infant is feeding well, is not irritable, and has 8 to 10 wet diapers per day. Which of the following is a true statement?
    A) Keep on monitoring the infant’s bilirubin level until it returns back to normal in about 1 week

Q
  1. An infant who does not have a history of reactive airway disease and allergy has both inspiratory and expiratory wheezing accompanied by fever and profuse clear nasal discharge. Which of the following is most likely?
    A) Tracheobronchitis
    B) Bronchiolitis
    C) Croup
    D) A small foreign body that is lodged on the left main bronchus
A

B) Bronchiolitis
Symptoms of tracheo bronchitis include prominent dry, nonproductive cough; later, coughing up phlegm is common. Bronchiolitis is a viral infection caused by RSV that is commonly seen during the winter/spring months in infants and young children. Typical signs/symptoms include fever, inspiratory/expiratory wheezing, with clear drainage. Croup is a viral infection with the classic “barking” cough; the patient may have a runny nose, but typically no fever. When a child swallows a foreign object, choking, wheezing, and shortness of breath may occur, but no fever or clear drainage is present.

C) It is best heard at the apex at S1
D) It is best heard at the base at S2
A

Q
  1. A 44-year-old patient with Down syndrome starts to develop impaired memory and difficulty with his usual daily life routines. He is having problems functioning
    at the job that he has done for the past 10 years. The physical exam and routine labs are all negative. The vital signs are normal. His appetite is normal. The most
