Answer to Question 1

D, E
Feedback:
The mother is recently separated and is raising three children independently. The older child is diagnosed with a chronic illness. The nurse should consult a social worker to help identify resources that the mother and family need. The nurse should consult with a physical therapist to help the oldest child attain or maintain the maximum level of physical functioning. A dietician, physician, and pharmacist will not necessarily be of assistance to the family at this time.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A Children with osteogenesis imperfecta have incomplete development of bones,
teeth, ligaments, and sclerae. Teeth are discolored because of abnormal enamel.
B Despite their appearance, children with osteogenesis imperfecta have normal or
above-normal intelligence.
C The child with osteogenesis imperfecta has weak muscles and decreased muscle
tone.
D Because of compression fractures of the spine, the child appears short.
