,The school nurse is observing a gym class. The nurse is most concerned about the risk for injury in which
children?
In children given extra fluids on a hot day
In children who are physically fit but over tired
In children who take the appropriate safety precautions
In children who are not physically prepared for the activity - Correct Answer: In children who are not
physically prepared for the activity
Children who are not physically prepared for a particular sporting activity are more likely to sustain a
serious injury than are those who are prepared for the activity. Children who are physically fit but tired
are not more likely to suffer a serious sports injury than children who are not physically prepared. The
administration of extra fluids on hot days is not associated with an increased risk of serious sports
injuries. Appropriate safety precautions do not increase a child's risk of sustaining a serious sports injury.
What is the most comprehensive therapeutic management for juvenile idiopathic arthritis?
Pain control, physical and occupational therapy, splints, and ice packs
Pain control, physical and occupational therapy, splints, and acetaminophen to reduce inflammation
Pain control, physical and occupational therapy, splints, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs for
inflammation
Pain control, physical and occupational therapy, splints, and range-of-motion exercises during periods of
inflammation - Correct Answer: Pain control, physical and occupational therapy, splints, and
nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs for inflammation
, Pain control, physical and occupational therapy, splints, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs for
inflammation comprise the most comprehensive therapeutic management for juvenile idiopathic
arthritis. Acetaminophen does not reduce inflammation, and warm, moist heat is better than ice for
relieving stiffness and pain. Range-of-motion exercises should not be performed during periods of
inflammation.

The Ortolani sign is indicative of developmental dysplasia of the hip in a newborn. In an older infant

dysplasia of the hip.
