7. Which factor most impacts the type of injury a child is susceptible to, according to the childs age?
a. Physical health of the child
b. Developmental level of the child
c. Educational level of the child
d. Number of responsible adults in the home ANS: B
The childs developmental stage determines the type of injury that is likely to occur. The childs physical health may facilitate the
childs recovery from an injury but does not impact the type of injury. Educational level is related to developmental level, but it is
not as important as the childs developmental level in determining the type of injury. The number of responsible adults in the home
may affect the number of unintentional injuries, but the type of injury is related to the childs developmental stage.

a. Limitations in the major activities of daily living
b. Unintentional injuries that cause chronic health problems
c. Discoveries of new therapies to treat health problems
d. Behavioral, social, and educational problems that alter health ANS: D
The new morbidity reflects the behavioral, social, and educational problems that interfere with the childs social and academic
development. It is currently estimated that the incidence of these issues is from 5% to 30%. Limitations in major activities of daily
living and unintentional injuries that result in chronic health problems are included in morbidity data. Discovery of new therapies
would be reflected in changes in morbidity data over time.

b. Encouraging family dependence on health care systems
c. Recognizing that the family is the constant in a childs life
d. Excluding families from the decision-making process ANS: C
The three key components of family-centered care are respect, collaboration, and support. Family-centered care recognizes the
family as the constant in the childs life. Taking over total care does not include the family in the process and may increase stress
instead of reducing stress. The family should be enabled and empowered to work with the health care system. The family is expected
to be part of the decision-making process.
