QUIZZES WITH ACCURATE RIGHT
ANSWERS |LATEST UPDATE .
Corn - Correct Answer -Thickening of skin caused by continual pressure over bony
prominences
Callus - Correct Answer -This thickening of skin covers a wider area than a corn and is
located on a weight bearing part of the foot
Bunion - Correct Answer -Painful deformity of the great toe consisting of lateral angulation
of the great toe towards the second toe
Hammer Toe - Correct Answer -Common and painful deformities in the 3 middle toes where
they appear to be always bent
Planter wart - Correct Answer --is a painful growth caused by a virus
-May occur on any part of foot sole
Gout - Correct Answer --systemic connective tissue disorder
-is a metabolic condition in which uric acid, a nitrogenous waste, increases in the blood.
Excess uric acid is deposited as sodium urate crystals in distal joints and other tissues
-These crystals trigger the chronic inflammation and tissue damage characteristic of gouty
arthritis.
-usually in the small joints
Infectious arthritis - Correct Answer -A variety of pathogens can infect synovial membrane
and other joint tissues.
Lyme arthritis, or Lyme disease, - Correct Answer -caused by a spirochete bacterium carried
by deer ticks.
1
,-This condition is characterized by inflammation in the knees or other joints accompanied by
a variety of systemic signs and symptoms
primary gout - Correct Answer -_most common inherited problem with purine metabolism
-Uric acid production is > than the kidney's excretion of it = increased levels in blood
-Acute episodes triggered by stress, alcohol, illness, trauma, diet, meds
-Dietary restrictions
Secondary Gout - Correct Answer --Increase of uric acid (hyperuricemia) is the result of
another health problem i.e.: renal insufficiency (kidneys failed to excrete the waste products)
or medications
hyperuricemia - Correct Answer -increase of uric acid
Aging Changes associated with musculoskeletal - Correct Answer -_Bone calcium loss =
Fractures
-Decreased 3 of muscle cells
-Increased fibrous connective tissue
-articular cartilage wears down = joint stiffness/joint pain
-decreased elasticity of ligaments , tendons and cartilage = weaker bones
-muscle mass and strength declines = falls
-decreased inter-vertebral spaces from loss of water = loss of height
-altered posture and gait = wider stance and smaller steps for men; narrow stance and
wadding gait for women
Fractures - Correct Answer --A disruption or break in the continuity of the structure of the
bone
-occurs at any age
-Simple versus complex
-Open or closed
-bone calcium loss
2
, Neurovascular Data collection - Correct Answer --cool
-temperature
-pain
-movement
-sensation
-pulses
-capillary refill
*S&S of acute gout - Correct Answer --1 or more severely inflamed joints d/t uric acid
crystals
-Usually small joints such as great toe
-joint swollen, red, hot, and to painful to touch
-DX: uric acid blood test
*S&S of Chronic Gout - Correct Answer --May not have obvious S&S d/t better management
of acute gout
-Renal stones in about 20%
-DX: Uric acid blood test
Treatment of gout - Correct Answer -Diet
-Avoid high purine foods -organ meats, shellfish, oily fish (sardines)
-avoid alcohol
Drinks lot of water
Medication
-Colchicine & NSAIDS to reduce inflammatory response
-Uricosuric meds (allopurinol) to decrease uric acids production
-avoid all forms of ASA & diuretics
-avoid excessive physical or emotional; stress
Strain - Correct Answer --soft tissue injury the when muscle or tendon is over stretched
