, Unit 1 – Pediatric Primary Care
Based on Burns’ Pediatric Primary Care, 8th Edition (2025)
A 4-year-old presents for a well-child visit. Which activity
exemplifies a core role of the pediatric primary care provider
beyond acute illness management?
A. Prescribing antibiotics for acute otitis media
B. Conducting developmental surveillance and anticipatory
guidance
C. Referring all chronic cases to subspecialists immediately
D. Performing only vaccinations without parent education
Answer: B
Rationale: Pediatric primary care includes developmental
surveillance and anticipatory guidance to promote health and
development. A is acute illness management (necessary but not
exclusive to primary care’s broader role). C delays in-house
management and undermines continuity. D neglects the
educational role integral to family-centered care.
A 6-month-old with no known risk factors is due for
immunizations. This preventive action is classified as:
A. Primary care
