Question 2

A caregiver brings her 7-year-old son to the pediatrician's office, concerned about the child's wetting the bed.

The caregiver reports that the child has wet the bed rarely over the previous 2 years, but in the past month, ever since he returned from a week away from home on a fishing trip, he has wet the bed each night. The child refuses to talk about the topic. The nurse notes that the child is shy, skittish, and will not make eye contact. Physical examination reveals signs of a healed rectal tear. Further evaluation will most likely be done to rule out the possibility this child has:
A) developed a UTI from not bathing while on the fishing trip.
B) gotten out of the habit of waking himself up in the night to empty his bladder.
C) been forced to go on the fishing trip against his will and is now retaliating.
D) been sexually abused, possibly while away on the fishing trip.
