A mother brought her 10 month old infant for consultation
because of fever which started 4 days prior to consulta-
tion. To determine malaria risk, what will you do?
Ask if the fever is present everyday
Do a tourniquet test
Correct Answer
Ask where the family resides
Get a specimen for blood smear
Because malaria is endemic, the first question to determine malaria risk is
where the client's family resides. If the area of residence is not a known en-
demic area, ask if the child had traveled within the past 6 months, where
he/she was brought and whether he/she stayed overnight in that area.
