Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

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 reacts negatively to new situations but has no previous serious illnesses has only one risk factor.
