The school nurse takes into consideration that nutritional information for adolescents can be problematic as adolescent boys have different nutrition concerns than adolescent girls, such as:
 
  a. Girls have more caloric requirements than boys
  b. Boys don't care about what they eat
  c. Girls don't have body image concerns
  d. Boys are focused on body building

Question 2

A 6 month old is brought to the ER by her babysitter. The babysitter explains that the child has been irritable all morning and will not bear weight on her right leg since she was dropped off at 8 a.m.
 
  The babysitter has attempted to contact the mother, but has not been able to reach her. After the examination, the child is diagnosed with spiral femur fracture. The nurse will need to contact Social Services because: 1. Any time a child enters the ER, Social Services needs to be contacted.
   2. The mother did not bring the child in, and the babysitter does not have medical power of attorney, so a social worker will determine the needs of the child.
   3. A femur fracture is abnormal unless trauma or abuse has occurred. Social Services will help to rule out child abuse.
   4. The social worker will be of no help until the mother asks for services.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
