e most risk factors related to childhood injury?

c. Male, even tempered, history of previous injuries

ANS: 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 toincreased risk taking and self-
+ + + + + + + + + + +
destructive behaviors. Therefore, a male child with a high activity level and living in a stressful environm
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
ent has the highest number of risk factors. A girl with several siblingsand a stable home life is low risk. A
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
boy with previous injuries has two risk factors, but an even temperis not a risk factor for injuries. A girl w
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
ho reacts negatively to new situations but has no previous serious illnesses has only one risk factor.
