a. Female, multiple siblings, stable home life
b. Male, high activity level, stressful home life
c. Male, even tempered, history of previous injuries
d. Female, reacts negatively to new situations, no serious previous
injuriesANS: B
Boys have a preponderance for injuries over girls because of a difference in behavioral
characteristics, a high activity temperament is associated with risk-taking behaviors, and
stress predisposes children to increased risk taking and self-destructive behaviors.
Therefore, a male child with a high activity level and living in a stressful environment has
the highest number of risk factors. A girl with several siblings and a stable home life is low
risk. A boy with previous injuries has two risk factors, but an even temper is not a risk
factor for injuries. A girl who reactsnegatively to new situations but has no previous serious
illnesses has only one risk factor.
