Answer Key
1. c. Eosinophils. While there may be other types of white blood cells found in erythema toxicum, eosinophils are the most abundant. A mnemonic to remember this is that the first letter of erythema toxicum & eosinophils is “e.”
2. c. Selenium. Copper and manganese should be minimized for infants with cholestasis.
3. b. Social smile.Focusing on objects 8-12 inches away is usually met around the 1-month mark and rolling over from tummy to back is usually met around the 4-month mark.
4. a. Insulin. Insulin may deactivate surfactant in the fetus, increasing the chance of respiratory distress after birth.
5. a. Pneumoperitoneum. Duodenal atresia has a double bubble sign and a volvulus is generally diagnosed with an upper GI series.
