with the CDC immunization schedule, which group of vaccines should be
administered at this visit?
Options:
A. Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) and Varicella
B. Diphtheria-Tetanus-acellular Pertussis (DTaP), Haemophilus influenzae
type b (Hib), Inactivated Poliovirus (IPV), 13‑valent Pneumococcal
Conjugate (PCV13), and Rotavirus
C. Influenza and Tdap

2.
Case: A 12‑month‑old child is seen for a routine visit. During
developmental screening, you assess the child’s fine motor abilities.
Which milestone is typically expected by 12 months of age?
Options:
A. Walking unassisted
B. Using a pincer grasp to pick up small objects
C. Speaking in two‑word sentences
D. Reciting nursery rhymes
Correct ANS: B
Rationale: By 12 months, most infants demonstrate the use of a pincer
grasp. Although some children may begin walking, independent
ambulation is variable, and two‑word sentences or reciting nursery
rhymes are skills usually acquired later.

and wheezing—often triggered by allergens—presents for evaluation.
Question: What is the most likely diagnosis?
Options:
A. Bronchiolitis
B. Asthma

children, asthma is common and often presents with episodic symptoms.

Question: Which viral agent is the most common cause of bronchiolitis
in infants?
Options:
A. Influenza virus
B. Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
C. Adenovirus
D. Parainfluenza virus

Rationale: RSV is the leading cause of bronchiolitis in infants. Its
seasonal prevalence makes it the primary suspect when infants present
with lower respiratory tract infections.
