1. The following are risk factors for hypertension in children and teens (choose all that apply): being obese. being exposed to second-hand smoke.
2. In evaluating a 9-year-old child with a healthy BMI during a well visit, a comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation should be conducted by the following methods (choose all that apply):
Obtain fasting lipid profile. / Assess diet and physical activity. 3. At what age is it appropriate to recommend dietary changes to parents if overweight or obesity is a concern?
12 months old
4. The following are risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus in children and teens (choose all that apply): hyperinsulinemia: abnormal weight-to-height ratio.: Native American ancestry.
5. Screening children with a known risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus is recommended at age 10 or at onset of puberty, and should be repeated how often?
every year.
6. Prediabetes in children is defined as (choose all that apply):
impaired fasting glucose (glucose level ≥100 mg/dL or 6.2 mmol/L) but ≤125 mg/dL or 7 mmol/L). impaired glucose tolerance (2-hour postprandial ≥140-199 mg/dL or 7.8 mmol/L-11 mmol/L).
7. Risk factors for dyslipidemia in children include (choose all that apply): family history of lipid abnormalities.
family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. 8. Screening cholesterol levels in children with one or more risk factors begins at what age? . 2 years
8. An acceptable level of total cholesterol (mg/dL) in children and teens is:
<170 mg/dL or 9.4 mmol/L.
9. low birth weight, and poor infant growth are risk factors for type 2 diabetes True 10. Prediabetes in children is defined as impaired fasting glucose (glucose level ≥100 mg/dL or 5.6 mmol/L but
≤125 mg/dL or 7 mmol/L) or impaired glucose tolerance (2-hour postprandial ≥140-199 mg/dL or 7.8 mmol/L-11 mmol/L) or an A1C of 5.7% to 6.4%.
True 11. Screening for type 2 diabetes begins at age _10 or at onset of puberty and continues every 2 years until adulthood; at that point, the adult guidelines should be followed.
12. The AAP screening guidelines for total cholesterol levels in children and adolescents aged 2 to 19 years old are as follows: Acceptable level is < 170 mg/dL (<9.4 mmol/L), borderline is 170-199 mg/dL (9.4 mmol/L-11 mmol/L), and high is >200 mg/dL (≥11.1 mmol/L)
13. Children should be screened for family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) beginning at age _3 and should be periodically updated annually or as required by risk factors during non-urgent health visits.
14. For at-risk children, fasting lipid levels should be tested after 2 years of age (but no later than 10 years of age) and should be retested in 3-5 years if the values fall within the reference range.
15. Body mass index (BMI) should be measured beginning at age 2 .
16. For children between 12 months and 2 years of age for whom overweight or obesity is a concern, the use of
REDUCED fat milk would be appropriate.
