Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
To ensure an adequate intake of calcium, the nurse should suggest white beans, because 1 ounce of dried white beans when cooked provides 160 mg of calcium. Spinach, fortified cereal, and lentils are good sources of iron.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
The child with septic arthritis of the hip typically has limited range of motion, maintaining the joint in flexion and not allowing the leg to be straightened. Moderate to severe pain is usually noted and there is a history of a previous infection, such as a respiratory infection or otitis media.
