Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: With osteogenesis imperfecta, nursing care focuses on preventing fractures. Because the bones are fragile, the entire body must be supported when the child is moved. Traction, casts, and spinal surgery are not routinely done for osteogenesis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Clinical manifestations of osteogenesis imperfecta include blue sclerae. This is not present in Marfan syndrome, achondroplasia, or muscular dystrophy.
