Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Cuts, bruises, burns, and scars are common indicators of physical abuse in children. The other choices include symptoms that are common in children (crying, temper tantrums, poor appetite) and may occur with specific physical illnesses (ie, stomach aches, skin rashes) but are not necessarily indicators that abuse has occurred.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The most common indicators of physical abuse of a child are as follows: (1) bruises involving no breaks in skin integrity, (2) burns, usually due to immersion in hot water, contact with cigarettes, tying with a rope, or the application of a hot iron, (3) lacerations, abrasions, welts, and scars noted on the lips, eyes, face, and external genitalia, (4) missing or loosened teeth, and (5) skeletal injuries such as fractured bones, epiphyseal separation, or stiff, swollen, enlarged joints.
