Answer to Question 1

D
The warmth of the water, coupled with mild resistance, makes swimming the perfect medium for strengthening and range-of-motion exercises while protecting the joints. Jogging jars the hip, knee, and ankle joints and can cause joint damage. Tennis also jars the joints and can cause joint damage. Gymnastics does not protect the joints from injury.

Answer to Question 2

D
Foods high in calcium, and calcium supplements if necessary, should be included in the diet. Nutritional guidelines should support healthy growth and development. Protein intake should be based on the child's age-appropriate dietary needs. The diet should not be high in calories. Excessive weight gain can place undue stress on the musculoskeletal system. High-fiber foods should be included in the diet.
