Does the information appear to be accurate? Is it developmentally appropriate? Does any of the information appear to be potentially harmful to young children?o Identify and discuss several factors discussed in the research literature that may be contributing to child obesity. o Based on the information you have located what recommendations would you have regarding the prevention and treatment of child obesity? o Is it considered safe to cause weight loss by reducing caloric intake without also increasing a child's exercise level? Explain.o Would it be reasonable to recommend weight reduction by increasing a child's level of physical activity without paying attention to food intake? o What potential negative health effects might be associated with following either of the treatment approaches suggested above?

CRITICALTHINKING:
Chris has come to the doctor’s office in a somewhat agitated state. Several months ago, his wife noticed a small, dark spot in the skin on his lower back. His wife is worried that the spot may indicate skin cancer. Initially, Chris chose to ignore it. But recently his wife has noticed the spot has grown. In addition, when she inspected it and squeezed it, a thick, white material was released from the spot. Now Chris is worried. The physician examines the spot and assures Chris that he doesn’t have skin cancer. The spot, which is a sebaceous cyst, is benign and will only require minor surgery to remove. What should you tell Chris to prepare him for the procedure? What can you do to assist the physician before and during the surgery?

Viral pharyngitis: Erythema, edema of throat, tender posterior cervical nodes.
GAS: temp more than 101.5, exudate anterior cervical lymphadenopathy.
