A client has sustained traumatic injuries that involve several bone
fractures. A fracture of what type of bone may interfere with
the protection of the client's vital organs?
A. Long bones
B. Short bones
C. Flat bones
D. Irregular bones .......Answer.........ANS: C
,age 2 of 150
Flat bones, such as the sternum, provide vital organ protection.
Fractures of the flat bones may lead to puncturing of the vital
organs or may interfere with the protection of the vital organs.
Long, short, and irregular bones do not usually have this
physiologic function.
A client's fracture is healing and compact bone is replacing
spongy bone around the periphery of the fracture. This process
characterizes what phase of the bone healing process?
A. Hematoma formation
B. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation
C. Remodeling
D. Bony callus formation .......Answer.........ANS: C
,age 3 of 150
Remodeling occurs as necrotic bone is removed by the
osteoclasts. In this phase, compact bone replaces spongy bone
around the periphery of the fracture. Each of the other listed
phases precedes this stage.
A nurse admits a client who has a fracture of the nose that has
resulted in a skin tear and involvement of the mucous membranes
of the nasal passages The orthopedic nurse should plan to care
for what type of fracture?
A. Compression
B. Compound
C. Impacted
D. Transverse .......Answer.........ANS: B
, age 4 of 150
A compound fracture involves damage to the skin or mucous
membranes and is also called an open fracture. A compression
fracture involves compression of bone and is seen in vertebral
fractures. An impacted fracture occurs when a bone fragment is
driven into another bone fragment. A transverse fracture occurs
straight across the bone shaft.
The orthopedic nurse should assess for signs and symptoms of
Volkmann contracture if a client has fractured which of the
following bones?
A. Femur
B. Humerus
C. Radial head
D. Clavicle .......Answer.........ANS: B
