Answer to Question 1

C
A child who cries piercingly and rolls the head from side to side may have signs of AOM. Temperatures are high, and sucking increases the pain.

Answer to Question 2

4
Feedback
1. Children have a higher resilience to stress because the skeleton has not reached full calcification.
2. Children have decreased healing times because of the rapid growth process of children.
3. The thinner periosteum allows for bone to handle pressure and bend instead of break.
4. Children do not have as high a rate of tendon and ligament issues as adults.
