Explanation & Rationale
A. A fracture from a bicycle injury is consistent with common childhood accidents and does not necessarily indicate maltreatment. B. Small bruises on the shins of a toddler are typical as they learn to walk and play and are not necessarily a sign of maltreatment. C. Frequent urinary tract infections in a young child can be a sign of sexual abuse or neglect and should be reported for further investigation. This pattern is concerning and warrants further evaluation by a healthcare provider. D. Biting behavior in toddlers is relatively common and part of normal development. It does not necessarily indicate maltreatment.
