This diagnostic test is most sensitive for early detection of osteomyelitis before X-ray changes appear.
MRI
This long bone location is most frequently affected by osteosarcoma.
femur
This complication occurs when bone metastasis weakens structural integrity.
pathologic fracture
This condition is characterized by increased intraocular pressure that can lead to optic nerve damage.
glaucoma
This symptom of scabies is typically worse at night due to hypersensitivity reaction.

What are the most common symptoms of osteomyelitis involving localized bone infection.
fever, localized bone pain, and swelling/tenderness
What symptom is often the first indicator of osteosarcoma, usually worsening at night?
localized bone pain
This electrolyte abnormality is common when bone is destroyed by metastasis.
hypercalcemia
This is a key safety intervention for visually impaired patients in hospital settings.

neoadjuvant chemotherapy
This imaging study is commonly used to detect “hot spots” of bone metastasis throughout the skeleton.
bone scan
This eye anatomy stucture is associated with night vision.
Rods
This is the first-line topical treatment for head lice (pediculosis).
permethrin
A patient with suspected osteomyelitis suddenly reports increased pain, swelling, and fever; this is the nurse’s priority action.
notify the provider and prepare for IV antibiotics and possible cultures (do not delay treatment for additional non-essential testing)
A child with suspected osteosarcoma reports increasing limb pain and swelling; the nurse should prioritize what action before diagnostic confirmation?
pain control and limb protection while avoiding unnecessary manipulation or weight-bearing of the affected extremity
A patient with metastatic bone disease reports new back pain, weakness, and difficulty walking. What is the nurse’s priority concern?
spinal cord compression requiring immediate assessment and urgent intervention
A visually impaired patient is admitted to a new room. What nursing action is the highest priority for safety?
orienting the patient to the room, explaining location of call light/bed controls, and ensuring a clear pathway before leaving the room
This systemic complication is the leading cause of death in major burn patients during the first 48–72 hours.
hypovolemic shock
