Which nerve is assessed when the nurse asks the client to spread all fingers? -
ANSWER Ulnar
This aids in assessing motor function affected by ulnar innervation, while pricking the fat pad
at the top of the small finger allows assessment of the sensory function affected by the
nerve.
Which term refers to mature compact bone structures that form concentric rings of bone
matrix? - ANSWER Lamellae
Which description refers to an osteon? - ANSWER microscopic functional bone unit
Which term refers to the shaft of the long bone? - ANSWER Diaphysis
Which statement describes paresthesia? - ANSWER Abnormal sensations; tingling
Which term refers to a grating or cracking sound or sensation? - ANSWER Crepitus
Which term refers to muscle tension being unchanged with muscle shortening and joint
motion? - ANSWER Isotonic contraction
Exercises such as swimming and cycling.

,During which stage or phase of bone healing after fractures does callus formation occur? -
ANSWER Reparative.
Callus formation occurs during the reparative stage, but it is disrupted by excessive motion
at the fracture site.
what is remodling? - ANSWER Final stage of fracture repair during which the new
bone is reorganized into the bone's former structural arrangement.
Which nerve is being assess when the nurses will ask the client to dorsiflex the ankle and
extend the toes? - ANSWER Peroneal
Motor function is assessed by asking client to preform task and also assess sensory function
by pricking the skin between the great toe and center toe.
Which statement reflects the progress of bone healing?
A. Serial X-rays are used to monitor the progress of bone healing.
B. Adequate immobilization is essential until ultrasound shows evidence of bone formation
with ossification.
C. The age of the client influences the rate of fracture healing.
D. All fractures healing takes place at the same rate no matter the type of the bone
fractured. - ANSWER A. Serial X-rays are used to monitor the progress of bone
healing.
The client is exhibiting diminished range of motion, loss of flexibility, stiffness, and loss of
height. The history and physical findings are associated with age-related changes of which
area? - ANSWER Joints
Fracture healing occurs in four areas, including the...
2
,A. Cartilage
B. Bursae
C. External soft tissue
D. Fascia - ANSWER C. External soft tissue
fracture healing occurs in the bone marrow, bone cortex, periosteum, and external soft
tissue, where the bridging callus (fibrous tissue) stabilizes the fracture.
Which is an indicator of neurovascular compromise?
A. Warm skin temperature
B. Pain upon active stretch
C. Capillary refill of more than 3 seconds
D. Diminished pain - ANSWER C. Capillary refill of more than 3 second
what is the term for rhythmic contraction of a muscle? - ANSWER Clonus
Which is a circulatory indicator of peripheral neurovascular dysfunction?
A. Paresthesia
B. Weakness
C. Cool skin
D. Paralysis - ANSWER C. Cool Skin
Skull sutures are an example of which type of joint? - ANSWER Synarthrosis joints
that are immovable
3
, Which laboratory study indicates the rate of bone turnover? - ANSWER Serum
osteocalcin: this is bone GLA protein.
6 P's of compartment syndrome - ANSWER Pain
Paresthesias
Pallor
Pressure
Paralysis
Pulselessness
which is a neurovascular problem caused by pressure within a muscle area that increases to
such an extent that microcirculation diminishes? - ANSWER compartment syndrome
Which is useful in identifying acute or chronic tears of the joint capsule or supporting
ligaments of the knee, shoulder, ankle, hip, or wrist?
A. EMG
B. Bone Density
C. Meniscography
D. Arthrography - ANSWER D. Arthrography
what should the client report to the nurse after casting? Nursing diagnosis R/T AEB -
ANSWER - Toes or fingers become blue and, swollen or difficult to move
-The limb becomes painful
-They feel numbness
-They have blister-like sensation or burring pain
-Unrelieved pain
-Any signs of infection
