� Nursing MCQ Challenge with Rationale � What is the disease this child is suffering from? � A. Kwashiorkor B. Marasmus C. Osteogenesis imperfecta D. Progeria � Correct Answer: A. Kwashiorkor � Rationale: The image typically shows features like edema (puffy face/moon face), distended abdomen, skin changes, and hair discoloration, which are classic signs of Kwashiorkor — a severe form of protein deficiency. Kwashiorkor → Edema, fatty liver, dermatosis, “flag sign” hair, irritability Marasmus → Severe wasting without edema (old man appearance) Osteogenesis imperfecta → Brittle bones, fractures, blue sclera Progeria → Premature aging features � Exam Trick: � Edema + malnutrition = Think Kwashiorkor � Severe wasting without edema = Marasmus � For more MCQs, notes & exam hacks � Download Nu
