Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Poor diet will not cause all these symptoms.
B Incorrect. Food poisoning will present with more severe symptoms more quickly.
C Incorrect. Pinforms will present with nocturnal anal itching and sleeplessness.
D Correct. Giardia (a protozoan) ingested, if symptomatic, will present as chronic or relapsing diarrhea (may be watery or greasy, foul smelling), crampy abdominal pain, anorexia leading to weight loss and failure to thrive, and flatulence. Also known as giardiasis.

Answer to Question 2

A
In the first several years of the child's life, cerebral blood flow and oxygen consumption are almost twice that of the adult. Brain growth is measured by head circumference.
