A teacher asks the school health nurse to assess a child for neglect. Which of the following assessment findings could indicate neglect?

Choice A reason: 24-hour recall is standard for precise eating habit assessment. This fits nursing nutritional standards. It’s universally applied, distinctly effective for accuracy.

Choice B reason: Food source is secondary; 24-hour intake is primary data. This errors per nursing assessment focus. It’s universally distinct, less specific.

Choice C reason: 48 hours is less standard than 24 for dietary recall. This misaligns with nursing precision. It’s universally distinct, overly broad.

Choice D reason: 7 days is too long for accurate recall; 24 hours suffices. This errors per nutritional standards. It’s universally distinct, impractical.

Choice A reason: Designing a game teaches healthy choices, a primary prevention. Weighing identifies obesity, per nursing standards. This errors as it’s not secondary. It’s universally distinct, focusing on prevention, not detection.

Choice B reason: Dieting after weight gain is tertiary, managing obesity. Weighing screens early, per public health. This misaligns with secondary prevention. It’s universally distinct, treatment-based.

Choice C reason: Exercise presentations are primary, preventing obesity onset. Weighing detects it, per nursing standards. This errors as it’s not secondary. It’s universally distinct, preemptive not screening.

Choice D reason: Weighing students screens for obesity, a secondary prevention strategy. This aligns with public health standards. It’s universally applied, distinctly identifying at-risk children effectively.
