Chapter 12 Musculoskeletal Function
1. Characteristics of a patient that is at high risk for falling and fracturing a hip
include:
A) obesity and short stature.
B) excessive sugar intake.
C) hearing impairment.
D) chronic osteoporosis.
2. A pathologic stress fracture occurs in bones subjected to:
A) sudden direct force.
B) weakening by disease.
C) repeated excessive use.
D) massive muscle contraction.
3. Shortly after a closed fracture has occurred, early manifestations include
localized:
A) tetany.
B) deformity.
, C) necrosis.
D) numbness.
4. In order to initiate the cellular events essential to bone healing, there must be
formation at the fracture site.
A) callous
B) hematoma
C) ossification
D) fibrin meshwork
5. In contrast to structural scoliosis, postural scoliosis:
A) compresses vertebrae.
B) corrects with bending.
C) is apparent at birth.
D) becomes painful.
6. Factors that may adversely affect bone healing include of the bone.
A) immobilization
B) weight bearing
C) delayed union
D) tight alignment
7. The distinguishing characteristic of chronic osteomyelitis is the presence of:
A) sequestrum bone.
B) abscess formation.
C) severe bone pain.
D) external drainage.
