Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. Traditional screening programs offered in the schools include vision and hearing testing; height, weight and body mass index measurements; pediculosis screening; immunization monitoring; and, in some districts, dental and tuberculosis screening.
B Incorrect. Dental screening is not always included in a traditional screening program offered by schools.
C Incorrect. Cardiac screening is not included in a traditional screening program offered by schools.
D Incorrect. Neurological screening is not included in a traditional screening program offered by schools.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. These lab results are not evident with anemia.
B Correct. Elevated serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, falling serum protein levels, IgG levels diminished, red blood cell and platelet concentrations are increased, the net result is a slowing of the blood flow and ultimately the clumping or clotting of red blood cells and platelets. That coupled with the protein losses puts the child at risk for coagulation or clotting problems.
C Incorrect. These lab results are not evident with bleeding problems.
D Incorrect. These lab results are not evident with infection.
