Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: A bleed into the joint can lead to permanent contracture of the joint. Bone changes can result from the immobility associated with the bleed.
Rationale 2: Bleeding into the knee joint tends to be limited and decreased blood flow to the brain is unlikely.
Rationale 3: Activity intolerance is not the best diagnosis for this child.
Rationale 4: Although the knee will be swollen, body image is not the priority diagnosis at this time.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
