Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B,E

A. They may believe that death is punishment for bad behavior. Preschool-aged children may have a limited understanding of death and may see it as a form of punishment for wrongdoing. They may not fully comprehend that death is a natural event.

B. They may believe that death is temporary or reversible. At this age, children tend to have magical thinking and may believe that the deceased person can come back to life or that they will return after a period of time.

E. They may believe that death is caused by their thoughts. Preschoolers often struggle with the concept of causality and may believe that their thoughts or wishes could cause something to happen, including death.

C. They may have a fear of death and view it as something to be avoided. While some preschoolers may fear death, this is more common in older children or adolescents who begin to grasp the permanency of death.

D. They understand death as a natural part of the life cycle. Preschool children typically do not have a fully developed understanding of death as part of the life cycle; they may not recognize its natural inevitability.

F. They have a concrete understanding of death as a permanent cessation of life. A concrete understanding of death is usually not achieved until later childhood (around 7-9 years of age) when children start to understand the permanence and finality of death.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Tonic-clonic seizure. Tonic-clonic seizures involve both muscle stiffness (tonic phase) and jerking movements (clonic phase), but they are not characterized by a sudden loss of muscle tone.

B. Myoclonic seizure. Myoclonic seizures involve brief, sudden jerks or twitches of a muscle or group of muscles, not the sudden loss of muscle tone.

C. Atonic seizure. Atonic seizures, also known as "drop attacks," are characterized by a sudden loss of muscle tone, which causes the person to collapse or fall to the ground. This is the correct description of the type of seizure being asked about.

D. Absence seizure. Absence seizures involve brief episodes of staring and loss of awareness but do not cause loss of muscle tone or collapsing.

A. Manifestations that could indicate a sepsis infection B. Long-term effects that result from a prolonged recovery C. Blood pressure that could indicate hypertension D. Heart problems that result from cardiac dysfunction E. A decrease in body temperature as a sign of bacterial meningitis progression

Correct Answer is ["A","B","C"]

Explanation

A. Manifestations that could indicate a sepsis infection should be monitored closely as bacterial meningitis can lead to septicemia. Signs such as low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and poor perfusion need immediate attention.

B. Long-term effects that result from a prolonged recovery should be considered. Children recovering from bacterial meningitis may develop complications such as hearing loss, cognitive delays, or motor impairments, requiring long-term follow-up.

C. Blood pressure that could indicate hypertension should be monitored, as increased intracranial pressure (ICP) from meningitis may lead to systemic hypertension, an important parameter to manage during acute illness.

D. Heart problems that result from cardiac dysfunction are not commonly associated with bacterial meningitis itself. However, indirect complications such as septic shock could affect cardiac function, although this is less direct.

E. A decrease in body temperature as a sign of bacterial meningitis progression is incorrect. Hypothermia is not typically a sign of meningitis progression. Fever is a more common manifestation of bacterial meningitis and should be monitored instead.
