Answer: fever, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia,
renal dysfunction, and neurologic abnormalities, although not all these
features may be present
●● Diagnosing death in newborns
Answer: requires a careful examination of cranial reflexes, apnea, lack
of responsiveness, and may be supported by EEG.
In the setting of death in a nonviable, premature newborn, it is
appropriate to discontinue resuscitative efforts.
●● meta-analysis
Answer: Increase the power
statistical analysis is performed to combine the results of multiple
studies addressing the same question.
,By pooling the results of multiple studies, meta-analyses reduce the risk
for type II error caused by the smaller sample sizes within each
constituent randomized controlled trial

colleague is intoxicated is to
Answer: take steps to ensure that their colleague does not continue to see
patients while impaired. Physicians should then report the impairment to
