B) Limited arm range of motion
C) Scrapes on knees caused be falling from a bicycle
D) Hand burn from touching a hot stove
E) Lunch contains leftovers from previous evening dinner
Answer: B, C, D
Wearing the same clothes to school several days of the week and eating leftovers for lunch could be an indication of the family's financial status. Evidence that physical safety needs are not being adequately met would include the formation of contractures, which limits arm range of motion; scrapes on knees after falling from a bicycle, indicating the lack of safety or protective equipment for the head and extremities; and hand burns obtained from touching a hot stove, which could mean the child was not attended in the kitchen at home.
