Which factor is important to include in the teaching plan for parents of a child with Legg- Calve-Perthes disease?

Upper extremity fractures in children commonly occur as a result of falls. Children are more prone to falls due to their developing motor skills, balance, and coordination. They may fall from playground equipment, bicycles, or simply while running or playing.

While sports injuries (Option A) can also lead to upper extremity fractures, falls are generally the most common cause in children.

Physical abuse (Option B) is an unfortunate possibility in some cases, but it is important to approach the assessment without assuming abuse as the cause without appropriate evidence or disclosure.

Upper extremity fractures resulting from automobile crashes (Option D) are less common in children compared to falls or sports injuries, although they can occur in severe accidents.

It is always important for the nurse to assess the child's history, obtain a detailed account of the injury, and consider any additional signs or indications that may suggest non-accidental trauma if appropriate.

During this stage, adolescents typically experience a shift from a primary focus on family to
an increased emphasis on peer relationships. However, it is still important for adolescents to
maintain a connection with their family and enjoy spending time with family members. This
behaviour indicates a healthy balance between peer interactions and maintaining positive
relationships with family.

is incorrect because it describes behaviours associated with emotional and psychological
challenges commonly seen in adolescence but does not indicate appropriate psychosocial
development.
The adolescent seeks validation for socially acceptable behaviour from older adults in (option
C) is incorrect because seeking validation for socially acceptable behaviour from older adults,
may indicate a lack of autonomy and difficulty in developing a sense of personal identity,
which is important for healthy psychosocial development in adolescence.

Conformity with the peer group increases in late adolescence in (Option D) is incorrect
because stating that conformity with the peer group increases in late adolescence, is not
entirely accurate. While peer influence is significant during adolescence, there is also a
growing emphasis on individuality and the development of one's own identity. Adolescents
may experience a balance between conforming to certain aspects of their peer group and
asserting their unique traits and interests.
