Q1.
A pediatric wellness simulation uses a standardized patient to assess a child's growth and
development. Which screening tool is most appropriate for early detection of autism
spectrum disorder at the 18-month well-child visit according to current AAP guidelines?
A. M-CHAT-R/F B. PHQ-9
C. CRAFFT D. PSC-17
Correct: A - M-CHAT-R/F
Rationale:The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised with Follow-Up
(M-CHAT-R/F) is the AAP-recommended tool for autism screening at 18 and 24 months.
PHQ-9 screens for depression in adolescents/adults, CRAFFT screens for substance use,
and PSC-17 is a broad psychosocial screener.
Why the other answers are wrong:
B. PHQ-9 is a depression screening tool, not validated for autism in toddlers.
C. CRAFFT is used for adolescent substance abuse screening, not autism.
D. PSC-17 is a general psychosocial screening tool, not specific for autism.

Infants, Children, and Adolescents, 5th Ed.
Q2.
During a simulation, a child presents with fever, petechiae, and hypotension. Which
immediate nursing action is priority?
A. Administer acetaminophen for fever B. Obtain blood cultures and start
broad-spectrum antibiotics
C. Apply cooling blankets D. Perform a lumbar puncture
Correct: B - Obtain blood cultures and start broad-spectrum antibiotics
Rationale:The presentation suggests septic shock; immediate blood cultures and antibiotics
are critical within the first hour. Acetaminophen and cooling blankets do not address the
underlying sepsis, and lumbar puncture may be contraindicated in unstable patients.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. Acetaminophen treats fever but does not address life-threatening sepsis.
C. Cooling blankets are not a priority and may worsen shock.
D. Lumbar puncture is deferred in hemodynamically unstable patients.

Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock in Children. Pediatric Critical Care Medicine.

Q3.
Which statement best reflects the principle of family-centered care in pediatric advanced
practice?
A. The provider makes all decisions to B. Parents are viewed as partners in
ensure efficiency. decision-making and care delivery.
C. Children are excluded from discussions D. Siblings are discouraged from
to reduce anxiety. participating in care.
Correct: B - Parents are viewed as partners in decision-making and care delivery.
Rationale:Family-centered care emphasizes collaboration among providers, the child, and
family, respecting their preferences and values. Excluding parents or children contradicts this
model and can harm outcomes.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. Provider-centric decisions ignore family input and are not family-centered.
C. Excluding children disregards their developmental needs and autonomy.
D. Siblings can be included appropriately to support family dynamics.

Pediatrician's Role. Pediatrics.
Q4.
A simulation scenario involves a child with acute asthma exacerbation. Which medication
is indicated for rapid bronchodilation during an acute attack?
A. Inhaled albuterol B. Oral montelukast
C. Inhaled fluticasone D. Oral prednisolone
Correct: A - Inhaled albuterol
Rationale:Short-acting beta-agonists like albuterol provide rapid bronchodilation for acute
asthma symptoms. Montelukast and fluticasone are controller medications, and prednisolone,
while used for inflammation, is not a rescue bronchodilator.
Why the other answers are wrong:
B. Montelukast is a leukotriene modifier for long-term control, not acute relief.
C. Fluticasone is an inhaled corticosteroid for maintenance, not rescue.
D. Prednisolone reduces inflammation but does not provide immediate bronchodilation.

Q5.
When evaluating a child's nutritional status in a wellness visit, which anthropometric
measure is most useful for assessing acute malnutrition?
