Answer to Question 1

D
Knee pain and tenderness aggravated by activity that requires kneeling, running, climbing stairs, and rising from a squatting position are highly significant for Osgood-Schlatter disease. The etiology is believed to be related to repetitive stress from sports-related activities combined with overuse of immature muscles and tendons. Pain on activity that decreases with rest is indicative of Legg-Calv-Perthes disease. Preexisting pain, favoring the affected limb, erythema, and tenderness are associated with osteomyelitis. Duchenne muscular dystrophy presents with progressive generalized weakness and muscle wasting.

Answer to Question 2

C
Ritualism is a characteristic of the toddler period. By repeating familiar stories and other rituals, the toddler feels a sense of control, which facilitates communication. Most toddlers do not have the vocabulary to make up stories. Dramatic play is associated with older children. Toddlers probably are not capable of drawing or verbally articulating their fears.
