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.
