Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Recent research shows that clubfoot is genetic, so no prevention is possible. In utero positioning can possibly influence the disorder as well. Second-hand smoke exposure is not related. Folic acid is important for preventing neural tube disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Parents always need to observe for complications of casting, including neurovascular compromise. A child who is excessively fussy and whose toes are cool should be seen by a health-care provider to assess circulation and possibly modify or change the cast. The parent should be told to take the child to the nearest emergency department (ED). The other answers are inappropriate. If circulation is compromised, elevation and ice will make the problem worse. The parent should not be instructed to modify the cast. Although ibuprofen may manage the child's pain better than acetaminophen, the priority instruction is to send the parent to the ED.
