help me with answers to test

[RobynL]

I am testing tomorrow for a homecare job. I already took the test but have to fix the answers I got wrong. I have spent many hours researching and haven't really found answers to several of the questions. Since I am allowed to research the questions, this is not cheating...I just can't find the answers and am hoping to get some help!

1. What is the most common palpaple mass in a child's abdomen.

I think it's stool. The other options are cancer, Wilm's tumor (which I know you aren't supposed to palpate) and cyst.

2. Which 3 organisms cause baterial pneumonia in children. Here are the choices. In my research, it looks like all three do, that's why I'm confused!

Haemophilus influenzae type B

Staphylococcus

pneumococcus

streptococcus (no specified group)

characteristics of Hirschprungs stools

I don't remember what the options were but I've found both 'diarrhea' and 'pencil-thin'

most common cause of acute renal failure in children?

what is most common cause of anxiety in school-age children?

family relationships, friend relationships, death, there was one more choice and I don't remember what it was

Thanks!

Truly, I don't think that we should do your homework.

I don't believe that someone else giving you the answer is an acceptable way to "fix" your wrong answer. We (the online community) will not be available to you in the real world when you need to problem-solve an actual patient issue.

what are you using to research these questions? They're on the surface...wouldn't your textbooks be able to at least give you a strong idea as to what the correct answer would be?

I Googled "bacterial pneumonia children" and came up with all kinds of links. Here is one that may help you:

WHO | Pneumonia

I suggest Googling other combinations of words to find similarly helpful sites. I did this with another question and was able to find the answer.

Good luck with your test.

Next out of the gate: "Help me with my homework because I'm a convicted felon."

That's just WRONG. :smokin:

(ETA - you do realize I'm kidding....)

Leslie D, I love the use of imperative. I had to look it up in the dictionary. Keep it up, keep us on our toes. I think it is fine to ask "homework" questions on this site.

the answer to the Hirschsprungs question will more than likely be "ribbon like bowel movements"....also "failure to thrive". And I think that stool is the correct answer to the "palpable mass in abdomen of a child". Good luck to you.

Just so you know, the vast majority of those whose opinions you're seeking on this forum (and whose experienced opinions evidently are worth having) don't agree with you. We all did our own homework and feel strongly that everyone else should do the same.

I think it is fine to ask "homework" questions on this site.

Plenty of people ask. But most AN regulars do not like spoon-feeding the answers.

I like to offer encouragement along with some tips on how to acquire the desired information and let the person learn in such a way that they will remember the material.
