Answer to Question 1

A
The major component of treatment for Osgood-Schlatter disease is activity restriction for 6 weeks or more. Traction is not used for Osgood-Schlatter disease. This is a self-limiting disorder, not a life-long disorder. The problem usually disappears once growth stops. Although activity is restricted, the degree of restriction should not result in skin care problems.

Answer to Question 2

D
The child's developmental level is the basis for selecting the terminology and structure of the message most likely to be understood by the child. The child's age may not correspond to the developmental level; therefore, it is not the most important consideration for communicating with children. Parentchild interaction is useful in planning communication with children, but it is not the primary factor in establishing effective communication. The child's receptiveness is a consideration in evaluating the effectiveness of communication.
