len49 Pick the best answer of the choices, not necessarily what you would do in real life. +1

drdoom @len49 Sure, but in that case you’re not saying much about /why/ “Skeletal survey” is the best answer choice from the NBME-frame-of-mind. Can you elaborate? +

drdoom @osler My guess is that a skeletal survey is what “clinches” evidence of ongoing abuse, since skeletal surveys can reveal bone and tissue injury at /varying (time) stages of healing/, which is the kind of evidence CPS is going to need to establish a PATTERN of abuse and discredit claims like “this was just a one-time ‘accident’.” +

I think the description here is a little odd, but they’re suggesting there’s evidence of really serious spanking. Whenever the story doesn’t make sense or there are any concerning physical exam findings, it is critical to work up for nonaccidental trauma.

This was a really confusing question.Pt being diagnoses with URI and then bullae I wasn't thinking of abuse at all. If this is how the exam will be I think I'm doomed. :(
