Quizlet Chapter 51 Complete healing of a bone fracture occurs when The callus has been completely replaced with mature bone Rickets is characterized by soft, weak bones resulting from a deficiency of Vitamin D In older women, osteoporosis is thought to be primarily due to Estrogen deficiency Pain w/ passive stretching of a muscle is indicative of Noncontractile tissue injury Muscular dystrophy includes a number of muscle disorders that are Genetically transmitted Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease in which Acetylcholine receptors are destroyed or dysfunctional Anticholinesterase inhibitors may be used to manage Myasthenia gravis A compound, transverse fracture is best described as a bone that is Broken and protruding through the skin The complication which is not likely to result from a compound, transverse fracture of the tibia and fibula is Air embolus

and pallor. The priority action to take is to Initiate action to have the cast split or removed Following a bone fracture, the most likely event to occur is A development of a blood clot beneath the periosteum. A unique characteristic feature of fibromyalgia is the presence of Tender point pain A fracture in which bone breaks into two or more fragments is referred to as Comminuted What type of fracture generally occurs in children? Greenstick Most muscle strains are due to Abnormal muscle contraction People who have osteoporosis are at risk for Bone fractures A risk factor for osteoporosis is Early menopause Which disorder usually causes skeletal pain & involves significant bone demineralization from vitamin D deficiency? Osteomalacia Healing of a fractured bone w/ a poor alignment is called Malunion

Bone healing may be impaired by Nicotine use

The displacement of 2 bones in which the articular surfaces partially lose contact with each other is called Subluxation

Assessment of an extremity 6 hours after surgical alignment and casting demonstrates pulselessness

The pathophysiology of osteomalacia involves

Inadequate mineralization in the osteoid The disease that is similar to osteomalacia & occurs in growing children is Rickets Pain in fibromyalgia involves Changes in pain transmission in the spinal cord A malignant bone-forming tumor is referred to as a(n) Osteosarcoma Inflammation of the sacs that overlie bony prominences is called Bursitis The disorders characterized by softening & then enlargement of bones is referred to as Paget disease The person at highest risk of a greenstick fracture from falling off a tall ladder is age 8 A bone disorder that results from insufficient vitamin D is referred to as Osteomalacia The most common source of osteomyelitis is An infection that migrates via the bloodstream A patient diagnosed w/ diabetes, smokes a pack of cigarettes daily and eats very few green leafy vegetables. After experiencing a fracture toe, this patient is at risk for Delayed healing Paget’s disease is characterized by Excessive bone resorption followed by excessive formation of fragile bone

The most common site affected in Paget’s disease is the Lower spine The most common type of osteomyelitis is Hematogenous Compartment syndrome occurs secondary to Soft tissue damage The most common symptom of multiple myeloma is Bone pain...
