When draining an area of acute infection, if submandibular lymph nodes are enlarged, nontender, soft, well defined and movable, is this true or false?

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Partially true

  4. Depends on the infection

The correct answer is: True

By definition, acute infections are of sudden onset and short duration. This means that if the submandibular lymph nodes are enlarged, it is likely due to the acute infection. Additionally, the lymph nodes being nontender, soft, well defined and movable supports that they are reactive and responding to the infection. Therefore, this statement is true and the other answer options are incorrect.
