Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale: These data show that the child is disproportionate in height and weight. This child's weight is very high in comparison to height. The child would appear obese.Dietary history and counseling are the first steps. This child may also need an endocrine evaluation. This is not a growth spurt since height is what is referred to as a growth spurt.No assumptions about the parents can be made from the data presented. The statement about the adolescent growth spurt is incorrect for this age child.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale: All visits should be used as health-promotion and health-supervision visits. While discussing birth control,exercise,and future plans is important, these can be included in the overall health-supervision protocols.
