Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
Fractures are common, accounting for about 10 to 15 of childhood injuries, and often occur due to motor vehicle crashes, bicycle crashes, falls, and sporting injuries. Depending on where the fracture is, it has the potential to disrupt or halt growth in the bone. Girls are being seen with stress fractures more frequently. New bone growth takes up to 12 weeks to occur.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
Bone growth depends on several substances, including calcium, calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, and other minerals and enzymes. Estrogen and thyroid hormones are not required.
