1. When an increase in exercise is accompanied by a decrease in body weight, it is an example of what?

• A. variable effect
• B. positive correlation
• C. negative correlation
• D. randomization effect

Correct answer: C

Rationale: When an increase in exercise is accompanied by a decrease in body weight, it demonstrates a negative correlation. This means that as one variable (exercise) increases, the other variable (body weight) decreases. Choice A, 'variable effect,' is vague and does not accurately describe the relationship between exercise and body weight. Choice B, 'positive correlation,' is incorrect because in a positive correlation, both variables would increase or decrease together. Choice D, 'randomization effect,' is unrelated to the scenario described.

2. What is a common clinical manifestation of Kawasaki disease?

• A. Severe headaches
• B. High fever lasting more than 5 days
• C. Chronic cough
• D. Severe abdominal pain

Correct answer: B

Rationale: A high fever lasting more than 5 days is a common clinical manifestation of Kawasaki disease. This fever is often accompanied by other symptoms such as rash and conjunctivitis. Severe headaches (Choice A), chronic cough (Choice C), and severe abdominal pain (Choice D) are not typically associated with Kawasaki disease, making them incorrect choices.

3. By chemical analysis, what nutrient is present in the highest amounts in most foods?

• A. fats
• B. water
• C. proteins
• D. carbohydrates

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B. Water is the most abundant nutrient in many foods. Water content varies across different foods, but in general, it is present in the highest amounts. Fats (Choice A) are essential but are not found in higher amounts compared to water. Proteins (Choice C) and carbohydrates (Choice D) are also important nutrients, but they are typically found in lower quantities in most foods compared to water.

4. How should a healthcare provider address concerns about a child’s developmental milestones?

• A. Recommend delaying intervention until school age
• B. Provide resources for early intervention services
• C. Suggest dietary changes
• D. Avoid further assessment

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Correct Answer: Providing resources for early intervention services is crucial for addressing developmental concerns and supporting the child's growth and development. Early intervention is key to improving outcomes. Recommending delaying intervention until school age (Choice A) is not advised as addressing issues early leads to better results. Suggesting dietary changes (Choice C) is not the primary approach to addressing developmental milestones. Avoiding further assessment (Choice D) can impede the timely identification and management of developmental delays.

5. What is the most common initial symptom of juvenile idiopathic arthritis?

• A. Joint swelling and pain
• B. Skin rash
• C. Gastrointestinal bleeding
• D. Neurological deficits

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Joint swelling and pain. These are the most common initial symptoms of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, typically affecting multiple joints. Skin rash (choice B), gastrointestinal bleeding (choice C), and neurological deficits (choice D) are not typical initial symptoms of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Skin rash may be seen in other conditions like dermatitis or systemic lupus erythematosus, gastrointestinal bleeding may be associated with conditions like inflammatory bowel disease, and neurological deficits could be indicative of conditions like multiple sclerosis.
