Janice, an adult orthopedic nurse, has been asked to float to the pediatric orthopedic floor for the next two weeks. It is important for Janice to remember that children have more complicated issues with fractures because:
 
  1. Fractures can occur along an immature growth plate.
   2. Children have a lower pain tolerance.
   3. Children do not understand how to use crutches, and it takes more time to do discharge teaching.
   4. A child's bone takes many more weeks to heal than an adult.

  a. The philosophy of parenting has remained unchanged for several generations
  b. Parents need to be assured that all parents make mistakes
  c. Parents should not change their own views to accommodate their children
  d. As teens grow older, they are less able to develop a satisfying relationship with their parents

Answer to Question 1

1
Feedback
1. Fractures in this area may take longer to heal or can form calcification, causing incorrect placement of the bone.
2. Pain is individualized.
3. Children can learn how to adapt to the use of crutches and should be given time to practice prior to discharge.
4. Because of the rapid growth of a child, the healing process usually does not take as long as an adult.

Answer to Question 2

B
The philosophy of parenting is constantly changing. Parents can make mistakes in parenting. If parents refuse to change their views to accommodate their children, bitterness and anger can follow. Teens can develop a progressively more satisfying relationship with their parent, with care.
