Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A curve of 35 is considered mild scoliosis. Bracing is the treatment of choice at this point. Continued screening is inappropriate, as the child has scoliosis. Research has shown that exercise alone does not improve outcomes. Surgical intervention is reserved for more serious cases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Early in MD creatinine kinase levels are elevated. As muscle wasting occurs and muscle bulk diminishes, creatinine kinase levels will drop. A finding of decreased muscle strength correlates with the laboratory results.
