Correct
Typhoid fever,Clinical features: high grade fever, coated tongue,anorexia, abdominal pain,myalgia, hepatosplenomegaly

Question 3 of 10
3. Question
1 pointsCategory: PediatricPossible complications of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy include all of the following EXCEPT:
Correct
AIDS has not been reported as a complication of the use of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) prepared from human donors.Donors are screened for human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis B seropositivity, and preparative methods would inactivate both of these viruses. The remaining choices are rare but worrisome complications of IVIG therapy. Nonetheless, IVIG has been aremarkable aid in the treatment of patients with congenital antibody deficiency states.

1 pointsCategory: PediatricCephalosporins (second or third generation) as single therapy for neonatal sepsis are inappropriate initial therapy becauseof all of the following EXCEPT
Correct
Cefotaxime and ceftriaxone are excellent agents to treat meningitis because they both achieve high CSF levels. Choices A to Dare unfortunately correct, and therefore, ampicillin is always initially used with either of these cephalosporins.

7. Question
1 pointsCategory: PediatricHandedness is usually determined by what age?
Correct
Handedness should not be attempted to be modified, because this leads to frustration. After 4 years of age, a spontaneouschange in handedness should lead to the suspicion of a central nervous system lesion.

Question 9 of 10
9. Question
1 pointsCategory: PediatricIn toxic ingestion of acetaminophen, the serum level should be measured after:
Correct
In addition to antidote therapy, supportive care is essential in acetaminophen toxicity. Immediate assessment of the patient’s airway, breathing, and hemodynamic status (ie,#ABCs) is critical, while considering and initiating treatment for suspected acetaminophen overdose. As with any ingestion, assessing for other potential life-threatening co-ingestants is very important.
Administer activated charcoal (AC) if the patient has a stable mental and clinical status, patent airway, and presents to the emergency department within 1 hour of ingestion. Measure a 4-hour serum acetaminophen concentration to assess the potential risk for hepatotoxicity, using the Rumack-Matthew nomogram.
Patients with acetaminophen concentrations below the “possible” line for hepatotoxicity on the Rumack-Matthew nomogram may be discharged home after they are medically cleared.
Admit patients with acetaminophen concentrations above the “possible” line on the Rumack-Matthew nomogram for treatment with #N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Treat patients with evidence of hepatic failure, metabolic acidosis, coagulopathy, and/or encephalopathy in an intensive care unit (ICU). Transfer patients with evidence of clinically significant hepatotoxicity to a medical facility with intensive care support and liver transplant services.
Early administration of NAC after suspected acetaminophen overdose is most essential. NAC is nearly 100% hepatoprotective when it is given within 8 hours after an acute acetaminophen ingestionIncorrect
