Answer to Question 1

B
Include parents as partners in the child's treatments. Parents may need direct guidance in concrete terms to help distract the child. Allowing the parents to remain with the child may help calm the child. Telling the truth is the most important thing. False reassurance does not facilitate a trusting relationship. Professional terminology may not be understood. Speak to the child and family in language that they will understand.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, E
The assessment findings associated with scoliosis include unequal shoulder heights, trouser pant leg length appearing shorter on one side meaning unequal leg length, and unequal waist angles. Scoliosis is a nonpainful curvature of the spine so pain is not expected and the child is able to bend at the waist adequately.
