Answer to Question 1
C
Legg-Calv-Perthes disease is a self-limiting disease that affects the blood supply to the femoral epiphysis. The most serious problem associated with it is the risk of permanent deformity. Legg-Calv-Perthes disease is not a chronic disease. The disease process usually lasts between 1 and 2 years and is a disorder of growth. It is seen in children between 2 and 12 years of age. Most cases occur between 4 and 9 years of age. The etiology is unknown.
Answer to Question 2
D
A swaying body with arms loose at the sides suggests openness. Avoiding eye contact does not facilitate communication. Folding arms across the chest and standing with head bowed are closed-body postures, which do not facilitate communication.
