Explanation:
The key element in making the diagnosis of rheumatic fever is a recent bout of pharyngitis. A pharyngeal infection triggers the innate immune
system to become active, which causes S to manifest. T and B cells respond to pyogenes antigens. The generation of specific IgG and IgM antibodies
by B cells follows the activation of CD4+ T cells (Cunningham, Pathogenesis of group A streptococcal infections, 2000).
Explanation:
A right ventricular blood flow blockage is referred to as PS. A pulmonic valve defect known as pulmonic stenosis occurs when the valve stiffens,
obstructing flow. Typically congenital, benign, and treated with potentially curative medications, this condition affects children.
Explanation:
Children in the preschool years are most likely to think of illness as a punishment for wrongdoing. Children in this age range may believe that getting
very ill is punishment for anything they did or thought about. They fail to comprehend how their parents were unable to shield them from this condition.
Explanation:
Profound diarrhea is the most typical evaluation finding in a child with ulcerative colitis. Bloody diarrhea, whether it contains mucus or not, is the
predominant sign of ulcerative colitis. Blood in the toilet, on the toilet paper, or in the stool are examples of other signs. It is distinctive in that it only
affects the mucosa and submucosa of the colon. The disease typically begins in the rectum and progresses continuously inward.
Explanation:
The least effective technique to teach parenting skills to an adolescent is to provide age-appropriate reading materials because adolescents absorb
less knowledge through reading. The Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs' (OAPP) Adolescent Family Life (AFL) demonstration projects
empower adolescent families by providing social support and medical attention.
Explanation:
A rare condition that damages the blood vessels in children is called Kawasaki disease. If nothing is done, aneurysms can form in 20% to 25% of
youngsters. Depending on the severity of the condition, IV gamma globulin or aspirin is frequently used as an initial treatment. Sometimes
corticosteroids can decrease potential problems. The illness typically requires lifelong follow-up visits to monitor a child's heart health.
Explanation:
A visual disturbance may be the cause of a child's low academic performance. Although most children do not acquire 20/20 vision until they are six
years old, visual acuity should be roughly equivalent in both eyes at any age. Up to date standards for visual acuity in children between the ages of
two and a half and six were provided by the Multi-Ethnic Pediatric Eye Disease Study.
