Answer to Question 1

A
A diagnosis of chlamydial conjunctivitis in a nonsexually active child should signal the healthcare provider to assess the child for sexual abuse. Chlamydial conjunctivitis in a nonsexually active child is most often associated with sexual abuse; it is not related to congenital cataract or secondary glaucoma.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, E
Signs of a child looking bad on a general appearance assessment include pale skin, cold extremities, and lethargy. A capillary refill of less than 2 seconds is a good sign as well as a child who is unwilling to separate from parents (separation anxiety, expected).
