A Incorrect: These manifestations are similar to those seen in spinal meningitis, but the health care team members would be most concerned and want to rule out SBS. The infant is at risk for additional injuries (death) from shaking if abuse has occurred. One-third of children with SBS die from their injuries; and one-third experience permanent injury.
B Incorrect: Some of these manifestations also occur in encephalitis. However, health care team members would be most concerned and want to rule out SBS. The infant is at risk for additional injuries (death) from shaking if abuse has occurred.

D Correct: Infants should be suspected of SBS with any signs of head injury, including poor feeding or vomiting, irritability, listlessness, lethargy, bradycardia, apnea, seizures coma, bulging fontanels, large head circumference, hypothermia, or failure to thrive. The classic triad of SBS is hematoma, brain edema and retinal hemorrhages, usually bilateral.
