207) ANSWER
C) Risk for injury related to disease state
RATIONALE
Because of their very fragile bones, children with OI experience countless fractures, and the prevention of injury takes highest priority in this child’s care. Pain would be important if a fracture actually occurs, but the key is prevention of fractures, making risk for injury more appropriate. Skin integrity impairment would also not be a concern unless a fracture actually occurred. Option 4 can be eliminated as the child is 4 years old and body image is not a great concern. Of the three remaining, choose the option that would be a concern throughout the care of this child.
