Care for an infant with osteogenesis imperfecta should include:

2. Traction care.
3. Cast care.
4. Postop spinal surgery care.

Rationale:
1. In osteogenesis imperfecta, nursing care focuses on preventing fractures. Because the bones are fragile, the entire body must be supported when the child is moved.
2. Traction is not routinely done for osteogenesis imperfecta.
3. Casts are not routinely done for osteogenesis imperfecta.
4. Spinal surgery is not routinely done for osteogenesis imperfecta.
