The mother asks for information about the child's long-term prognosis. The appropriate reply is that: - ANSWERSmost children with JRA achieve complete remission by adulthood, but its effects might cause lifelong limitations. Although the active disease does not continue into adulthood, the contractures, growth retardation, bone deformities, and visual impairment associated with JRA may lead to lifelong functional impairments. A comprehensive treatment program involving physical therapy, occupational therapy, nutrition, education, and regular opthalmologic care can limit residual functional limitations.

Cardiac disorders in infants and children may be acquired from rheumatic fever or kawasaki syndrome. A 21-yo patient presents with abdominal guarding, rigid abdominal musculature, rebound tenderness at McBurney's point, and leukocytosis. What is the most likely diagnosis? - ANSWERSAppendicitis. McBurney's point is the RLQ abdominal landmark for the appendix. Rigid abdominal musculature, rebound tenderness, and positive psoas sign (inflamed psoas muscle), indicates inflammation of the peritoneum.

Atenolol (Tenormin) should be avoided in: - ANSWERSa 43-yo female with asthma. Atenolol is a beta blocker. It should be avoided in pateints with asthma or other bronchospastic conditions. These patients often require beta stimulation, not beta blockade. Although atenolol is a beta 1-selective agent, at higher doses beta 2 receptors (bronchial and vascular) are blocked. Beta blockers, specifically atenolol, are beneficial post-myocardial infarction because they have demonstrated a reduction in morbidity and mortality. All of the following interventions with pediatric patients are appropriate EXCEPT: - ANSWERSPre-medicate the patient prior to all painful interventions. Pre-medication is not warranted prior to all painful interventions. For example, premedication is not warranted prior to routine immunizations but it certainly is prior to suturing.
