Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Clubfoot is a complex, multifactorial deformity with genetic and intrauterine factors. Heredity and race seem to factor into the incidence, but the means of transmission and the etiology are unknown. Most newborns with clubfoot have no identifiable genetic, syndromal, or extrinsic cause. Clubfoot affects boys twice as often as girls. With the intrinsic type, manual reduction is not possible.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Many adolescents omit breads and cereals entirely to lose weight rather than just reducing the amounts they eat. Diets such as these can be deficient in thiamine and riboflavin, vitamins necessary for growth. The outcome in which the adolescent is without signs of thiamine and riboflavin deficiency would be appropriate for this patient. The outcome where the patient ingests bread and grains with breakfast might not be sufficient for the adolescent's growth needs. The outcome that focuses on calcium, iron, and zinc deficiency would be appropriate if the adolescent avoids eating meat, milk products, and green vegetables. The outcome where the patient ingests bread and grain products with high school friends might not be a sufficient amount to meet the growing adolescent's health needs.
