Plasma has several functions, including helping maintain blood volume and pressure, supplying proteins for immunity and clotting, and providing a medium for the exchange of minerals required for cell function. Suspended within the plasma are the • Albumin • Clotting proteins • Fibrinogen • Globulins • Platelets • Red blood cells • White blood cells - True - False - ANSWER True During a posterolateral approach for an intracapsular hip fracture, which of the following muscles would be released along with the short external rotators and capsule from the posterior aspect of the femur as a single musculocapsular flap? - Gluteus medius - gemelli - quadratus femoris - piriformis - ANSWER piriformis fractures occur just below the lesser trochanter and usually are treated with an intramedullary rod. A patient with a fractured hip displays external rotation of the leg on the fractured side, and it usually is shorter than the nonfractured hip. - intertrochanteric - subtrochanteric - femoral neck - ANSWER subtrochanteric A choledoco-duodenostomy refers to the surgical anastomosis of which of the following two structures - Gall bladder with the common bile duct - common bile duct and fundus of the stomach - duodenum and common bile duct - pancreatic duct and antrum of the stomach - ANSWER duodenum and common bile duct During an ORIF of the distal radius, the surgeon may transect the transverse carpal ligament to - provide exposure for the procedure - provide increased wrist range-of-motion postoperatively - reduce the possibility of carpal tunnel syndrome postoperatively - reduce the possibility of de Quervain's tenosynovitis postoperatively - ANSWER reduce the possibility of carpal tunnel syndrome postoperatively A Potts fracture occurs in the - distal tibia - distal fibula - distal femur - syndesmotic screw - ANSWER distal tibia The ________ and the _________ arteries interconnect at the Circle of Willis located at the base of the brain - posterior cerebral arteries, Anterior communicating artery - external and internal carotid - vertebral artery, internal carotid - Basilar, vertebral - ANSWER vertebral artery, internal carotid The abdominal aorta is a continuation of the thoracic aorta as it runs through the abdomen and divides into the right and left common iliac arteries near the lower border of the lumbar vertebra. The area slightly below inferior to the renal arteries into the iliac arteries is the most common site for an AAA. Aneurysms measuring 5.5 cm usually require surgery because of the risk of rupture.

Which of the following padding materials is MOST commonly used in this situation? - stockinette - Kerlix roll - Webril - Kling - ANSWER Webril The __________ is the most commonly fractured of all the carpals. - Lunate - Trapezium - Hamate - Scaphoid - ANSWER Scaphoid During a carotid endarterectomy, the final occlusion clamp to be removed after anastomosis is on the - common carotid - internal carotid - external carotid - thyroid branch - ANSWER internal carotid Which of the following is an effective way to estimate proper femoral nail diameter and length of an acute, severely comminuted femur fracture? - preoperative radiographs of the affected leg - postoperative radiographs of the affected leg - postoperative radiographs of the unaffected leg - preoperative radiographs of the unaffected leg - ANSWER preoperative radiographs of the unaffected leg A threaded cortical screw cannot provide compression of bone fragments unless the - hole is tapped - screw is self-tapping - near cortex is overdrilled - screw is cannulated - ANSWER near cortex is overdrilled The right lymphatic duct empties into the left subclavian vein, and the thoracic duct empties into the right subclavian vein - True - False - ANSWER False Epidural anesthesia is administered - Anterior (deep to) to the lumbar or sacral nerve roots - Into the space between the spinal canal and the dura mater covering the nerve roots - Into precisely the same subarachnoid space as spinal anesthesia, but in the sacral area - Directly into the cerebral spinal fluid at any point from the ventricles in the brain, to the cauda equina - ANSWER Into the space between the spinal canal and the dura mater covering the nerve roots
