Musculoskeletal System - Blackboard questions - CORRECT ANSWERS ---



812. A client with cancer is scheduled for a bone scan to determine the presence of
metastasis. The nurse evaluates that the teaching before the scheduled bone scan is
effective when the client states that:

1. "X-rays will be taken to identify where I may have lost calcium from my bones."

2. "Portions of my bone marrow will be removed and examined for cell composition."

3. "A radioactive chemical will be injected into my vein that will destroy cancer cells
present in my bones."

4. "A substance of low radioactivity will be injected into my vein and my body
inspected by an instrument to detect where it is deposited." - CORRECT ANSWERS
Ans: 4

4. A bone scan maps the uptake of a bone-seeking radioactive isotope; an increased
uptake is seen in metastatic bone disease, osteosarcoma, osteomyelitis, and certain
fractures.



813. A nurse explains to a client that stimulation of calcium deposition in the bone
after a distal femoral fracture is best achieved by:

1. Resting the extremity

2. Weight-bearing activity

3. Normal aging processes

814. A nurse is performing range-of-motion exercises with a client who had a brain
attack. The nurse places the client's hand in the position exhibited in the picture
(open hand with fingers fully extended). This position is known as:

1. Flexion

2. Extension

3. Adduction

4. Circumduction - CORRECT ANSWERS Ans: 2

2. The fingers are flared out in the extended, abducted position.



815. A male college basketball player comes to the infirmary complaining of a "click"
in his knee when walking. He states that it occasionally gives way when he is
running and sometimes locks. He does not recall any specific injury. Which condition
should the nurse anticipate that the practitioner primarily will consider when
determining the diagnostic tests to order?

1. Cracked patella

2. Ruptured Achilles tendon

3. Injured cartilage in the knee

4. Stress fracture of the tibial plateau - CORRECT ANSWERS Ans: 3

3. These adaptations are consistent with a torn cartilage; this injury is common
among basketball players.

816. A client is scheduled for arthroscopic knee surgery and asks the nurse about
the procedure. The statement by the nurse that best describes the procedure is:

1. "It is surgical repair of a joint under direct visualization using an arthroscope."

2. "It is a radiological procedure that will help diagnose the extent of the knee injury."

3. "The procedure will determine the type of treatments the surgeon will prescribe."

4. "You will be anesthetized so that you do not remember anything about the
procedure." - CORRECT ANSWERS Ans: 1

1. This describes the procedure in which the surgeon uses a scope to visualize and
operate on the knee.



817. The practitioner orders non-weight bearing with crutches for a client with a leg
injury. Before arnbulation is begun, the most important activity the nurse should
teach the client to facilitate walking with crutches is:

1. Sitting up in a chair to help strengthen back muscles

2. Keeping the unaffected leg in extension and abduction

3. Exercising the triceps, finger flexors, and elbow extensors

4. Using a trapeze frequently to strengthen the bicep muscles - CORRECT
ANSWERS Ans: 3

3 These sets of muscles are used in crutch walking and therefore need
strengthening.



818. A client with impaired balance is using a walker to provide support when
ambulating. While observing the client transferring from a sitting to a standing
position and using the walker, the nurse evaluates that further teaching is required
when the client:

1. Slides toward the edge of the seat before standing

2. Holds both handles of the walker while rising to the standing position

3. Moves forward into the walker after transferring from sitting to standing

4. Stands in place holding on to the walker for at least 30 seconds before walking -
CORRECT ANSWERS Ans: 2

2. Because of the angle of force applied to a walker when a person uses it to move
from a sitting to a standing position, the walker can become unstable and tip over.
The arms of the chair should be used for support when rising from a sitting position.



819. A client with multiple injuries from an automobile collision is now permitted out
of bed to a chair but is not permitted to bear weight on the lower extremities. When
using a mechanical lift to transfer the client, it is essential that the nurse:

2. Place the sling so that the top is below the client's scapulae

3. Call the practitioner to secure an order to use a mechanical lift

4. Raise the lift so that the sling is at least twelve inches above the mattress -
CORRECT ANSWERS Ans: 1

1. Folding the arms across the chest maintains both arms in a safe position during
the transfer.



820. A nurse performs full range of motion on a client's extremities. When putting an
ankle through range of motion, the nurse must perform:

1. Flexion, extension, and rotation

2. Abduction, flexion, adduction, and extension

3. Pronation, supination, rotation, and extension

4. Dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, eversion, and inversion - CORRECT ANSWERS
Ans: 4

4. These movements include all possible range of motion for the ankle joint.
