In the CARI program assessment, which question should not be asked to the mother?
Correct Answer:
Did the child have chest indrawing?
Explanation:
Chest indrawing is a sign that must be observed, not reported. In the CARI program, you rely on caregiver-reported details for some items (like the child’s age and how long coughing or fever has lasted) but on clinical observation for others. Chest indrawing requires watching the child's chest movement during breathing to determine if there is lower chest indrawing, which is an objective finding and cannot be accurately reported by the mother. If indrawing is present, it signals pneumonia and possible need for urgent care. So, the question about chest indrawing should not be asked of the mother; it should be assessed by the clinician during the exam.
