� Nursing MCQ Challenge with Rationale �What is the disease this child is suffering from? �
A. Kwashiorkor
B. Marasmus
C. Osteogenesis imperfecta
D. Progeria
� Correct Answer: A. Kwashiorkor
� Rationale:
The image typically shows features like edema (puffy face/moon face), distended abdomen, skin changes, and hair discoloration, which are classic signs of Kwashiorkor — a severe form of protein deficiency.
Kwashiorkor → Edema, fatty liver, dermatosis, “flag sign” hair, irritability
Marasmus → Severe wasting without edema (old man appearance)
Osteogenesis imperfecta → Brittle bones, fractures, blue sclera
Progeria → Premature aging features
� Exam Trick:
� Edema + malnutrition = Think Kwashiorkor
� Severe wasting without edema = Marasmus
