1–5. Definitions and Roles of Pediatric Primary Care
1. A 2-year-old arrives for a well-child visit. The family is
healthy, with no concerns. Which action best exemplifies the
role of the pediatric primary care provider in the medical home
model?
A. Referring all developmental concerns immediately to
specialty clinics
B. Coordinating care with community programs and tracking
immunizations
C. Performing only acute illness visits and sending routine care
to walk-in clinics
D. Delegating all preventive counseling to nursing staff
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In the medical home, the primary care provider
coordinates comprehensive care and preventive services (e.g.,
immunizations) and links families to community resources. A is
incorrect because not all developmental concerns require
specialist referral; many are managed in primary care. C
fragments care and undermines continuity. D underuses the
provider’s role in anticipatory guidance.
