Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Serial casting is the preferred treatment.
B Surgical intervention is done only if serial casting is not successful.
C Serial casting is begun shortly after birth before discharge from the nursery.
Successive casts allow for gradual stretching of skin and tight structures on the
medial side of the foot. Manipulation and casting of the leg are repeated
frequently (every week) to accommodate the rapid growth of early infancy.
D Children do not improve without intervention.

Answer to Question 2

T
This statement is correct. PE occurs with fragments of a blood clot dislodge and are carried
to the lungs. Treatment is aimed at dissolving the clot and maintaining pulmonary
circulation. Oxygen is used to decrease hypoxia, and narcotic analgesics are given to
reduce pain and apprehension.
