A patient with a second degree strain is to be discharged home,
The nurse recognizes that which education points are the MOST
important to cover?
A.) Use the RICE acronym (Rest, Ice, Compress, Elevation),
Leaving the extremity at normal level, Continuing activity once
they feel better
B.) Stopping the activity immediately and limiting movement of
said extremity, Applying Ice to the affected area for 24-48 hours,
Using NSAIDs as needed for pain
C.) Warming up and stretching muscles prior to exercise
D.) Incorporating Strength, Balance, and endurance exercises to
prevent future injuries - ANSWER-B.) Stopping the activity
immediately and limiting movement of said extremity, Applying Ice
to the affected area for 24-48 hours, Using NSAIDs as needed for
pain
This is the most important point to cover, given that the
injury has already occurred. All other points can be covered
further in follow-up with physical therapy, and A is incorrect

as we want the extremity elevated and no activity in the
affected extremity. (Slide 3 CONHCP PP, pp. 1640 Hagler)
When educating a community group on the different types of
fractures, Which statement(s) indicate effective teaching? (SATA)
A.) Complete fractures usually stick out through the skin
B.) Crepitation is a clinical manifestation of a fracture
C.) Pathologic fractures can occur from osteoporosis
D.) A greenstick fracture is classified as an incomplete fracture
E.) Displaced fractures mean that the bones are separated from
each other and out of normal position - ANSWER-B.) Crepitation
is a clinical manifestation of a fracture
C.) Pathologic fractures can occur from osteoporosis
D.) A greenstick fracture is classified as an incomplete fracture
E.) Displaced fractures mean that the bones are separated from
each other and out of normal position
(Slide 4 & 5 CONHCP PP, pp. 1645-1646 Hagler)
A patient is post op for a femur fracture from an MVC, and is to
have balanced suspension traction put in place, The nurse knows
,3|Page
that which of the following is a risk factor for this particular
intervention?
A.) None, this is generally a non-invasive procedure and has
minimal risk
B.) This intervention can cause risk for infection, given that the
provider must insert and pin and wire into the bone that has
weight attached to it
C.) This procedure is high risk and generally not done for hip
dysplasia
D.) Countertraction is supported by weights ranging from 5-45 lbs
- ANSWER-B.) This is the most correct answer, this intervention
does indeed place the patient at risk for infection. (Slide 6
CONHCP PP, pp. 1647 Hagler)
When determining goals of treatment for a patient suffering from a
Closed fracture, The nurse understands that which of the
following are important regarding this? (SATA)
A.) Open reduction refers to the manual realignment of bone
fragments to their anatomic position
B.) Anatomic realignment is the overall goal of treatment
, 4|Page
C.) Pt will most likely not regain full or near normal function
following treatment
D.) An fMRI is used to diagnose a fracture
E.) Immobilization has the overall goal of maintaining realignment
- ANSWER-B.) Anatomic realignment is the overall goal of
treatment
E.) Immobilization has the overall goal of maintaining realignment
(Slide 5-7 CONHCP PP, pp. 1646 Hagler)
When discussing the complications of external fixation with a
group of nursing students, which of the following statements
would require further education?
A.) The patient or caregiver should use chlorohexidine when
performing pin care
B.) External fixation is mainly used for complex fractures
C.) The nurse should assess pins for being too tight and monitor
for infection
D.) This procedure is often done to try and 'salvage' a limb that
would otherwise be amputated - ANSWER-C.) This answer is
partially correct, as we will monitor for infection but we are also
