Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Growth and development are dependent upon being able to interact with the environment. Any child with a musculoskeletal disorder is at risk for impaired growth and development. A priority outcome for any of these children is to maintain normal growth and development. Some children may need to adapt to changing activity restrictions. For some children, ambulation will be delayed or not possible. Staying current with education is important, but does not take priority over maintaining normal growth and development.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Tendons are fibrous connective tissues that have very little blood supply. Therefore healing from a tendon injury takes time. This is the best response; there is no indication that the teen has an infection interfering with recovery, it is inaccurate and disheartening to tell a young person that tendons may never heal, and the nurse should not assume the patient is noncompliant with immobilization.
