Chapter 11: Health Problems of Infants


MULTIPLE CHOICE


• A nurse is assessing a child with kwashiorkor disease. Which
assessment findings should the nurse expect?
a. Thin wasted extremities with a prominent abdomen
b. Constipation

c. Elevated hemoglobin
d. High levels of
protein
ANS: A
The child with kwashiorkor has thin, wasted extremities and a
prominent abdomen from edema (ascites). Diarrhea (persistent
diarrhea malnutrition syndrome) not constipation commonly occurs
from a lowered resistance to infection and further complicates the
electrolyte imbalance. Anemia and protein deficiency is a common
finding in malnourished children with kwashiorkor.

• A nurse is preparing to accompany a medical mission’s team to
a third world country. Marasmus is seen frequently in children 6
months to 2 years in this country. Which symptoms should the
nurse expect for this condition?
a. Loose, wrinkled skin
b. Edematous skin
c. Depigmentation of the skin
d. Dermato

ses
ANS: A
Marasmus is characterized by gradual wasting and atrophy of body
tissues, especially of subcutaneous fat. The child appears to be very
old, with loose and wrinkled skin, unlike the child with kwashiorkor,
who appears more rounded from the edema. Fat metabolism is less
impaired than in kwashiorkor; thus, deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins
is usually minimal or absent. In general, the clinical manifestations of
marasmus are similar to those seen in kwashiorkor with the following
exceptions: With marasmus, there is no edema from
hypoalbuminemia or sodium retention, which contributes to a
severely emaciated appearance; no dermatoses caused by vitamin
deficiencies; little or no depigmentation of hair or skin; moderately
normal fat metabolism and lipid absorption; and a smaller head size
and slower recovery after treatment.
