Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
All assessment findings signify positive adaptation to this disorder. However, because the child is on bedrest, the priority is to prevent complications of immobility including contractures or decreased ROM in joints.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Osteonecrosis is a cardinal sign of Legg-Calv-Perthes disease. This disorder is frequently treated with non-weight-bearing status and bracing or casting. The other treatment modalities are used to treat clubfoot.
