Answer to Question 1

Answer: C, D, E

Treatment of children with a Cobb angle between 25 and 45 degrees consists of bracing for 12-23 hours per day with a TLSO or Milwaukee brace, mild pain medication, counseling or support group referral, and exercise to improve posture and maintain or increase spine flexibility. Mild scoliosis is observed every 3-6 months. Severe scoliosis requires surgical intervention and subsequent physical therapy. Calcium supplements are not indicated for scoliosis. Support groups or counseling is suggested for clients with moderate or severe scoliosis or as needed.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

A potential side effect of sitagliptin (Januvia) is pancreatitis, and the client must be monitored for this. Sitagliptin (Januvia) does not cause elevated blood lipids, hyperglycemia, or renal insufficiency.
