- accurate answers-1.) Pain (present on passive movement and out of
proportion to injury)
2.) Paresthesias (numbness, tingling, decreased sensation)
3.) Pallor (or cyanosis)
4.) Pressure (firm feeling muscle compartment, elevated pressure reading)
5.) Paralysis (late, ominous sign)

edema
What is checked during a Peripheral Neurological Assessment?
- accurate answers-Sensation, motor function, & pain
What is osteoporosis?
- accurate answers-a chronic, progressive metabolic bone disease in which the

,What are the Classification of Fractures (#)?
- accurate answers-Closed #: Intact skin over the # site (no open skin)
Open #: A break in skin over the # site. Bone fragments stick out through the
skin OR wound penetrates down to the broken bone (worry about infc)
Complete or Incomplete #: bones are fully separated vs only going through
one side of the bone [children are more at risk of this].
Displaced: # displaces the bones out of the normal anatomic position [often bc
of muscle spasm]
Nondisplaced: goes through both bones but maintains normal placement.
What are the clinical manifestations of a fracture (#)?
- accurate answers-Deformity, edema and swelling, muscle spasm, pain and
tenderness, ecchymosis or contusions (bruising), loss of normal functioning,
crepitation (bone on bone sound and sensation), neurovascular impairment.
What are some Complications After Fracture and how do we tx and assess?
- accurate answers-Infection: (Discharge, colour, odor, heat, redness,
swelling), BW (WBC, C+S of wound, blood cultures), VS (fever), antibiotics
(prophylaxis).
Compartment Syndrome: 6 Ps, neruovascular assessment, remove restrictive
items, do not elevate or apply cold.
Fat Embolism Syndrome (FES): broken bones release fat globules into
systemic circulation-> emboli can travel to heart, lungs, brain. S/S: dyspnea,
petichaie, tachypnea, CP, change in mental status. Apply O2, sit them up,
monitor sppo2 and RR, calling RT
Venous Thromboembolism: PE: thrombus in pulmonary arteries.
anticoagulants- heparin, dalteparin
DVT: thrombus in deep veins of leg; pain/ tenderness in the leg <passive
moving; redness/ warmth, unilateral swelling.
What is Compartment syndrome?
- accurate answers-elevated intracompartmental pressure c/in a confined
space leads to compression of blood vessels and nerves, then ischemia, then
healthy tis replaced c fibrotic tis.
What are some clinical manifestations of osteoarthritis?
- accurate answers-Worsening joint pain
Limitation of movement
Crepitus (grating sensation/ sound of bone on bone rubbing)
, Stiffness
Deformity
