Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5

The most common types of physical abuse are burns, bruises, fractures, abdominal injuries, and head or spinal injuries. The location and pattern of these injuries help to determine the likelihood of abuse. Near drowning is an accidental injury and has not been identified as one of the most common types of physical abuse of children.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Subdural and retinal hemorrhages accompanied by the absence of external signs of trauma are hallmarks of shaken baby syndrome.
