The nurse is educating a group of caregivers about fractures seen in children. One of the caregivers states, "I have heard that if a bone breaks it can cause permanent damage and stop the growth of the bone." This statement is accurate if the break occurs in the:.

Epiphyseal plate

Explanation:

Epiphyseal plate also known as the growth plate, is a place which enables the growth of bones especially long bones to take place, and they often have a thin layer of cartilage which is between the epiphyses and metaphysesis in which the epiphyseal enables the bone to grown longer and they continue to grow by mitosis.

This statement "I have heard that if a bone breaks it can cause permanent damage and stop the growth of the bone." by the caregiver is accurate if the bone break occurs in EPIPHYSEAL PLATE because this type of bone fractures can cause permanent damage and stop the growth of bone.
