Answer to Question 1

A
Limitation of knee bending or kneeling provides pain control and allows the knees to heal. Increasing ROM of the knee increases pain and exacerbates the disease. Encouraging flexion of the hip will have no effect on the process affecting the knees. Limitation of hip adduction will not help the child with Osgood-Schlatter disease.

Answer to Question 2

C
Ninety percent of infants walk by 14 months of age. The infant is within normal developmental limits. It is inappropriate for the nurse to state that the infant is a little slow. Infants will walk when they are developmentally ready. Hurrying an infant does not result in the developmental task being achieved at an earlier time period. Consulting a behavioral specialist for diagnostic evaluation is indicated when a child demonstrates developmental delays. The child has no evidence of a delay.
