- A. Document the client's report of pain in the electronic medical record
- B. Determine which prescription will have the quickest onset of action
- C. Compare the client's pain scale rating with the prescribed dosing

A child aged 10 days has ambiguous genitalia:
- A. If a buccal smear is chromatin negative, there is a serious risk of an Addisonian crisis
- B. A raised urinary output of pregnanetriol would confirm a diagnosis of CAR
- C. The finding of the genotype 45 XO would reliably explain the anomaly
- D. If testicles were present in the 'labia', an acceptable explanation would be Klinefelter's syndrome
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A raised urinary pregnanetriol indicates congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAR). Chromatin-negative buccal smear suggests male genotype, and 45 XO is Turner syndrome, not related to ambiguous genitalia. Klinefelter's syndrome does not explain testicles in the labia.
