confrontation test is an imprecise way of testing peripheral
vision.

Feedback:

What is jaundice?
A jaundiced child has yellowish skin and sclera (the white part
of the eyes). The most common cause of jaundice is hepatitis (a
viral infection of the liver).

What is carotenemia?
Carotenemia is a harmless condition in which the skin turns a
yellowish color from eating lots of certain foods. Unlike
jaundice, the whites of the eyes remain white. This happens

,most often between 6 and 18 months of age. Your child's skin
turns a yellow-orange color because of the pigment (carotene)
found in yellow vegetables (squash, carrots, sweet potatoes), as
well as some fruits (such as oranges, apricots, and peaches).
Carotene is also found in green vegetables (for example green
beans and peas). Breastfed babies can also develop carotenemia
if their mother eats a lot of foods that are high in carotene. You
do not need to have your child stop eating these foods unless
you want to change your child's skin tone.
After a return to a more normal diet, the carotenemia color will
disappear in 3 or 4 weeks. Even without dietary change, the skin
color will gradually return to normal by 2 or 3 years of age.

A brief statement of the reason the patient is seeking health care
is called the:

○ medical history.

○ chief complaint.

○ assessment.

○ diagnosis. Correct Answers ○ chief complaint.

A comprehensive exam includes all the elements of the health
history and the complete physical examination.

True OR False Correct Answers TRUE
A comprehensive exam will include all aspects of the history
and physical exam. A focused exam is one that addresses
problems that are specific to urgent care concerns.

Feedback: Macule: A flat, small (1 centimeter or less) lesion
with color change. Seen in rubeola, rubella, scarlet fever, roseola
infantum.
