Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. The most characteristic finding of KD are changes in the hands and feet that are tensely edematous and very erythematous with desquamation beginning by day 10 . This starts just under the finger and toenails and progresses to involve the palms and soles, with skin peeling in sheets.
B Incorrect. Hives that come and go and do not follow the usual pattern--for example, half the lip or one eyebrow--are not characteristic findings of KD.
C Incorrect. Projectile vomiting when the child is not held upright during feedings is not a characteristic finding of KD, but of pyloric stenosis (a gastrointestinal alteration)
D Incorrect. The tendency to squat quite frequently and for the lips to turn blue is characteristic of Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital cardiac anomaly.
