NR 507 Advanced Pathophysiology week 7 quiz ( A+ Grade)

NR 507 Advanced Pathophysiology week 7 quiz ( A+ Grade) fracture - ANS-A break in the continuity of a bone-occurs when force is applied that exceeds the tensile or compressive strength of the bone complete fracture - ANS-Integrity of the bone broken into two pieces incomplete fracture - ANS-Bone damaged but in one piece Occult Fracture - ANS-Fracture that is hidden or not readily discernible. Cause: minor force or energy. Pathologic Fracture - ANS-Transverse, oblique, or spiral fracture of bone weakened by tumor pressure or presence. Cause: minor energy or force, which may be direct or indirect. open fracture - ANS-Skin broken over fracture; possible soft tissue trauma. Cause: moderate to severe energy that is continuous and exceeds tissue tolerances. Closed fracture - ANS-AKA simple fracture-no break in surrounding skin linear fracture - ANS-the fracture is parallel to the long axis of the bone oblique fracture - ANS-Fracture at oblique angle across both cortices. Cause: direct or indirect energy, with angulation and some compression. spiral fracture - ANS-ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone transverse fracture - ANS-Horizontal break through bone. Cause: direct or indirect energy toward bone. greenstick fracture - ANS-Outer surface of bone disrupted but inner surface remains intact impacted fracture - ANS-Fracture with one end wedged into opposite end of inside fractured fragment. Cause: compressive axial energy or force directly to distal fragment. Segmented Fracture - ANS-Fracture with two or more pieces or segments. Cause: direct or indirect moderate to severe force. Transchondral fracture - ANS-involve the separation of the articular cartilage from the bone and typically occur in adolescents. CONTINUES...
