Answer to Question 1

A
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is a blood disorder associated with a deficit of platelets that is self-limiting and usually resolves within 6 months. Bruising and petechiae are common.

The nurse should advise caregivers that the child should not participate in sports.

Answer to Question 2

D
The goal of restorative care is to return the client to the highest optimal functional level possible.
