ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ Ligaments.
Answer: Connect bone to bone
⩥ strain.
Answer: excessive stretching of muscle and fascial sheath: often
involving a tendon (muscle to bone)
-most time large muscle group
⩥ tendon.
Answer: Connects muscle to bone
⩥ manifestation of strain and sprain and acute care.
Answer: full function 3-6 wks
-stop activity, limit mocement
-ice, compressing area
-elavate
-analgesia
,-RICE: rest, ice, compression, elevation (decrease inflammation and
pain)- ice (24-48 hrs, 20-30 min)
⩥ fracture.
Answer: disruption to break in continuity of bone (disease process or
traumatic)
⩥ goal for fractures.
Answer: anatomical realignment (reduction), immobilize, restore normal
⩥ fracture reduction: closed vs. open.
Answer: closed: nonsurgical, manual realignment of bone fragments to
anatomic
open: correction of bone alignment through surgery
⩥ traction.
Answer: application of pulling force to an injured or diseased body part
-appply pulling force to make realignment, while contertraction pulls
opposite
⩥ skin traction: what nursing interventions.
, Answer: short term tx (48-72 hr) until skeletal traction or surgury is
possible
-tape, boots, splints applied directly
-help decrease muscle spasms
-5-10 ibs
-reg. skin assessment is priority: 2-4 hrs (pressure points and breakdown
can happen)
⩥ bucks traction.
Answer: skin traction for hip, knee, femur
⩥ skeletal traction.
Answer: align injured bones and joints or to treat joint contractures and
congenital hip dysplasia
-long term pull
-pin or wire into bone an weights attached to(5-45 ibs)
-suspension
-watch pins for infection
⩥ balanced suspension traction.
Answer: requires correct patient positioning and alignment with constant
traction force
-maintain counetrtraction: typically pt
