The middle school nurse is speaking to parents about prevention of injuries as a goal of the physical education program. How should the goal be achieved?
a. Use of protective equipment at the family's discretion
b. Education of adults to recognize signs that indicate a risk for injury
c. Sports medicine program to help student athletes work through overuse injuries
d. Arrangements for multiple sports to use same athletic fields to accommodate more children
ANS: B
Adults close to sports activities need to be aware of the early warning signs of fatigue, dehydration, and risk for injury. School policy should require mandatory use of protective equipment. Proper sports medicine therapy does not support "working through" overuse injuries. Too many students involved in different activities create distractions, which contribute to the child losing focus. This is a contributing factor to injury.
