1. Which of the following statements regarding foster care is true?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
□A hg permanency plan must be made for a child in foster care no later than 12 mo from the child's entry into care
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
□A minority of children in foster care have a history of abuse or neglect
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
□The mission of foster care is to safely care for children while providing services to families to promote reunification
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
□Most (>70%) of children in foster care are reunited with their families
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
■ A and C hg hg
description The mission of foster care is to provide for the health, safety, and well-being of children while assisting
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
their families with services to promote reunification. Children entering foster care have frequently experienced early
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
childhood trauma. More than 70% have a history of abuse, neglect, or both. Only about 50% of children achieve
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
reunification. In the USA, the Adoption and Safe Families Act (P.L. 105-89) passed in 1997 requires that a
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
permanency plan be made for each child no later than 12 mo after entry to foster care and that a petition to
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
terminate parental rights typically must be filed when a child has been in foster care for at least 15 of the previous
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
22 mo. (See Chapter 35, page 134, and e35-1.)

2. A 4 yr old girl is admitted to the hospital for her third evaluation for vaginal bleeding. The
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
mother noted bright red blood on the child's underwear. Previous examinations revealed
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
a normal 4 yr old girl, Tanner stage 1, with normal external genitalia. Pelvic ultrasound
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
results were normal, as was the serum estradiol level. The hemoglobin and platelet
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
counts were normal, as were the bleeding time and coagulation studies. Findings on
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
pelvic examination conducted under anesthesia also were normal. The next step in the
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
examination is to:
hg hg hg
■ Determine the blood type of the blood on the underwear
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
□Interrogate hg the father hg
□Isolate the parents and childhg hg hg hg
□Determine h g von Willebrand factor levels
hg hg hg
, □Measure hg fibronectin in the vagina hg hg hg
description Consideration of factitious disorder by proxy should be triggered when the reported symptoms are
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
repeatedly noted by only one parent, appropriate testing fails to confirm a diagnosis, and seemingly appropriate
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
treatment is ineffective. At times, the child's symptoms, their course, or the response to treatment may be
hg hg hg h g hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
incompatible with any recognized disease.
hg Preverbal children are usually involved. Bleeding is a particularly
hg hg hg hg h g hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
common presentation. This may be caused by adding dyes to samples, adding blood (e.g., from the mother) to the
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg h g hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
child's sample, or giving the child an anticoagulant (e.g., warfarin). (See Chapter 37, page 146.)
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
3. Munchausen syndrome by proxy is characterized by all of the following EXCEPT:
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
□Mother hg who appears devoted and wins over members of care team
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
□Multiple hg hospitalizations and investigations without diagnosis hg hg hg hg
□Symptoms on history but not witnessed by medical team
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
■ Symptoms occurring in presence of different caregivers (e.g., while mother is out of town)
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
□Use of medications or toxins
hg hg hg hg
description Symptoms in young children are mostly associated with proximity of the offending caregiver to the
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
child. The mother may present as a devoted or even model parent who forms close relationships with members
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
of the health care team. While appearing very interested in her child's condition, she may be relatively distant
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
emotionally. (See Chapter 37, page 146.)

4. Which statement is false?hg hg hg
■ Malnutrition is the second leading cause of acquired immune deficiency worldwide behind HIV infection
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
□Zinc hg is important in immune function and linear growth
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
□Kwashiorkor and hg hg marasmus are rare in developed countries hg hg hg hg hg
□The hg Western diet is associated with increased noncommunicable disease
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
description The significant global burden of malnutrition and undernutrition is the leading worldwide cause of
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
acquired immunodeficiency and the major underlying factor for morbidity and mortality globally for children <5 yr of
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
age. Zinc is a micronutrient that supports multiple metabolic functions in the body, is essential for normal immune
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
functioning, and is required to support linear growth; zinc deficiency is associated with impaired immune functioning
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
and poor linear growth. In parallel to the risk for nutrient and energy deficiencies, issues relating to excesses pose
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
important challenges because of their negative health effects, such as obesity or cardiovascular disease risk factors.
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
The nutrition transition under way in the
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
, developing world from traditional diets to the Western diet has been associated with increases in noncommunicable
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
diseases, often coexisting with undernutrition and malnutrition, observed sometimes in the same communities or even
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
the same families. (See e41-1.)

5. Components of energy expenditure in children include: hg hg hg hg hg hg
□Thermal hg effect of food hg hg
□Basal hg metabolic rate hg
□Energy hg for physical activity
hg hg
□Energy hg to support growth
hg hg
■ All of the above
hg hg hg
description The 3 components of energy expenditure in adults are the basal metabolic rate, the thermal effect of
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
food (energy required for digestion and absorption), and energy for physical activity. Additional energy intake and
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
expenditure are required to support growth and development for children. (See e41-4.)
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
6. Which of the following clinical scenarios increases the risk of vitamin A deficiency?
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
□Vegetarian diet hg
□Chronic hg intestinal disorders hg
□Zinc hg deficiency
■ B and C
hg hg
□All hgof the above
hg hg
description Vitamin A is an essential micronutrient because it cannot be biogenerated de novo by animals. It
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
must be obtained from plants in the form of provitamin-A carotenoids. In the USA, grains and vegetables
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
supply approximately 55% and dairy and meat products supply approximately 30% of vitamin A intake from
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
food. Vitamin A and the provitamins-A are fat soluble, and their absorption depends on the presence of adequate
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
lipid and protein within the meal.
hg hg hgChronic intestinal disorders or lipid malabsorption syndromes can result in
hg hg hg h g hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
vitamin A deficiency. In developing countries, subclinical or clinical zinc deficiency can increase the risk of vitamin
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
A deficiency. There is also some evidence of marginal zinc intakes in children in the USA. (See Chapter 45,
hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg hg
page 188.)
