The home health nurse suspects that a 3-month-old infant has acute otitis media (AOM) when the child:
 
  a. Shows a subnormal temperature of 98 F
  b. Lies with the knees drawn up to the abdomen
  c. Rolls the head from side to side and cries
  d. Stops crying when nursing

Question 2

Children have an immature skeleton, so a child has all of the following except:
 
  1. Increased resilience to stress.
   2. Shorter healing times.
   3. Thinner periosteum.
   4. Higher incidence of tendon and ligament issues.

Answer to Question 1

C
A child who cries piercingly and rolls the head from side to side may have signs of AOM. Temperatures are high, and sucking increases the pain.

Answer to Question 2

4
Feedback
1. Children have a higher resilience to stress because the skeleton has not reached full calcification.
2. Children have decreased healing times because of the rapid growth process of children.
3. The thinner periosteum allows for bone to handle pressure and bend instead of break.
4. Children do not have as high a rate of tendon and ligament issues as adults.
