Answer to Question 1

C
Preparatory material can be introduced to the school-age child several days (1 to 5) in advance of the event. Books, pictures, charts, and videos are appropriate. Preoperative teaching a few hours before surgery is more appropriate for the preschool child. Preparation too far in advance of the procedure can be forgotten or cause undue anxiety for an extended period of time. A very short, simple explanation of the surgery is appropriate for a younger child such as a toddler.

Answer to Question 2

A
The biochemical defect associated with osteogenesis imperfecta causes a defect in the synthesis of collagen. The abnormal collagen results in incomplete bone development, placing the child at high risk for fracturing bones. Receiving safety education and wearing protective apparatus can decrease the number of fractures. Because of incomplete bone formation, children with osteogenesis imperfecta do not have normal growth patterns. The high risk of fractures and the abnormal growth patterns do not allow for active participation in contact sports. Osteogenesis imperfecta is a life-long disease process.
