ANS: B W Q
Boys have a preponderance for injuries over girls because of a difference in behavioral characteristics,
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
a high activity temperament is associated with risk-
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
taking behaviors, and stress predisposes children to increased risk taking and self-
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
destructive behaviors. Therefore, a male child with a high activity level and living in a stressful enviro
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
nment has the highest number of risk factors. A girl with several siblings and a stable home life is low
WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ WQ
risk. A boy with previous injuries has two risk factors, but an even temper is not a risk factor for injuri
