NURS 3537 SKELETAL SYSTEM QUESTIONS WITH
ACCURATE ANSWERS
avulsion fracture correct answer where a small piece of bone attached to a
tendon or ligament gets pulled away from the main part of the bone
Bursitis correct answer -Inflammation of the bursae (small fluid-filled sacs that
reduce friction between moving parts in your body's joints)
Classification of fracture- Intactness of skin correct answer Closed/ simple: Skin
not disrupted (broken)
Open/ Compound: Skin disrupted (broken)
Classification of Fractures- by position correct answer -Displaced: bone fragments
not anatomically placed
-Angulated: bone fragments at an angle to each other
-Rotated: bone fragments twisted along the longitudinal axis
-Shortened: When a bone piece displaces into the space of another bone piece.
Classification of fractures: Degree of Completion correct answer -Torus: Bone
doesn't break but it bulges
-Incomplete: Only partially fractured
-Comminuted: Multiple fractures
-Avulsion: Ligaments and tendons torn away a piece of the bone from the rest of
the bone.
, Classification- Stable Fracture correct answer -Occurs when an injury causes the
bone to break clean, with its parts in alignment.
-Even if a bone is stable, does not mean the pt is clinically stable.
Closed Reduction correct answer -A common non-invasive method of treating
mildly displaced fractures.
-Usually performed with light sedation and analgesic
-Fracture is manipulated back into anatomic alignment
-Immobilized with a cast, brace or splint.
Colle's Fracture correct answer -Fracture of the distal radius and ulna
-complete fracture of the radius bone of the forearm close to the wrist resulting
in an upward (posterior) displacement of the radius and obvious deformity.
-Characterized by dinner fork deformity
Common causes for bursitis correct answer -Rheumatoid arthritis
-psoriatic arthritis
-gout
-ankylosing spondylitis
-Chronic friction/ trauma
-Crystal deposition/ infection
Communinted fracture correct answer -Occurs when trauma happens at extreme
velocity: bullet wound, shattered into multiple pieces we wont be able to put it
back.
