    A nurse is caring for a child with Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 3. Which of the following interventions should the nurse implement for this child? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Bisphosphonates help increase bone density and reduce the frequency of fractures in children with osteogenesis imperfecta. B. Assistive devices like crutches or wheelchairs help reduce the risk of fractures by providing support and reducing the load on fragile bones. C. Heat is not a standard intervention for osteogenesis imperfecta. The child’s bones are fragile, and applying heat may not be beneficial and could cause further injury. D. Resistance exercises are not recommended for osteogenesis imperfecta, as they could lead to fractures due to the fragile nature of the bones. E. Ensuring a safe environment to prevent falls and fractures is essential in managing osteogenesis imperfecta.
