ANSWER [GRADE A+]
What type of fracture occurs at a site of a preexisting bone abnormality and is a result
of a force that would not normally cause a fracture?
a. Idiopathic
c. Pathologic
b. Incomplete
d. Greenstick - correct answer ANS: C
Only a pathologic fracture is a break at the site of a preexisting abnormality, usually by
force that would not fracture a normal bone
Which type of fracture usually occurs in an individual who engages in a new activity
that is strenuous and repetitive?
a. Stress
c. Insufficiency

b. Subluxation
d. Nonunion - correct answer ANS: B
Dislocation is the temporary displacement of a bone from its normal position in a joint.
If the contact between the two surfaces is only partially lost, then the injury is referred
to as a subluxation. This selection is the only option that identifies the temporary
displacement of two bones, causing the bone surfaces to partially lose contact.
Improper reduction or immobilization of a fractured femur can result in which outcome
after cast removal?
a. The muscles around the fracture site are weak.
b. The fracture requires 6 to 8 weeks of physical therapy.
c. The skin under the cast is dry and flaky.
d. The bone is not straight. - correct answer ANS: D
Improper reduction or immobilization of a fractured bone may result in nonunion,
delayed union, or malunion. Malunion is the healing of a bone in a nonanatomic
position that could result in the bone not being straight. The other options are not
outcomes of improper reduction or immobilization.
The tear in a ligament is referred to as a:
a. Fracture
c. Disunion
