Answer 1

1.Here the child is a three and half year old female child. She was normally leading her life. But the problem occurred suddenly. Suddenly she became calm quiet .On examination she is having equally spaced bruises which are 3 in number and half inch in size.

2.The first thing that should come in mind is vitamin deficiency, especially vitamin C. It is an important vitamin that essential to maintain the integrity of collagen in the skin, helps to boost immunity, helps in wound healing, also act as an antioxidant.

The second thing is child abuse. The main point is the equally spaced bruises, that may be caused by biting (by teeth).

The vitamin C deficiency can be solved by adding citrus fruits like orange, pineapple, papaya (which are rich in vitamin C. ) in the diet. The parent should be given health education regarding the importance of including these fruits in the child's diet.

The parent should also be advised to give an idea to child to recognize such abusing (by teaching bad touch and good touch) Tell the child to inform such things to parents. Tell the child to explain what happened in the class everyday.
