what are the risk factors for rheumatoid arthritis? 

-female gender                -obesity 

-older age                       -environmental factors 

-nulliparity 

-family history 

-smoking 

100

What are components of a neurovascular assessment?

-Color, temperature, capillary refill, sensation, movement, and pulses

100

How is osteoporosis diagnosed?

-DXA T-score less than -2.5 or with a prior fragility fracture

100

To prevent hip dislocation after arthroplasty, what type of pillow is often used? 

-abduction pillow 

200

Muscle to Bone 

Tendon 

200

What diagnostic tests need to be run before starting rheumatoid arthritis treatment?

-Rheumatoid factor (not diagnostic alone), elevated ESR/CRP  

-Liver and renal function tests, TB test, hepatitis panel before treatment 

-X-rays/imagining to see extent of joint involvement 

200

What are symptoms and risk factors for low back pain?

  • Symptoms: radiculopathy, sciatica, and cauda equina
  • Risk factors: aggravated by activity
200

Describe the fracture healing process.

-When a bone breaks blood clots form at the site (hematoma). Next, a soft callus made of cartilage forms, then a hard bony callus replaces it. Finally, remodeling happens as the bone reshapes and strengthens over time.

200

List the delayed complications of fractures.

  • -Delayed union, nonunion, malunion
  • -Avascular Necrosis 
  • -Complex regional pain syndrome 
300

a cell that is responsible for the maintenance of the bone 

Osteocytes 

300

What does PRICE stand for and what is it used for?

  • P: Protect 
  • R: Rest 
  • I: Ice 
  • C: Compression 
  • E: Elevate.                  -used for musculoskeletal trauma management 
300

Describe non-pharmacologic and nursing management for low back pain.

-Yoga, chiropractic care, CBT, acupuncture, massage

300

State types of assessments to include in a musculoskeletal assessment.

  • -Range of motion 
  • -Posture 
  • -Gait 
  • -Joints 
  • -Muscle function 
  • -Neurological function 
300

What is a fragility fracture? 

-Fall at standing height and break something 

400
a cell that secretes the matrix for bone formation.


osteoblasts

  • What are the 7 Ps of compartment syndrome?
  • -Paralysis 
  • -Pallor 
  • -Paresthesia 
  • -Pain 
  • -Pulseless  
  • -Polar 
  • -Pressure 
400

What medications are used to treat the pain of low back pain?

-NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, gabapentin, SSRIs, opioids

400

What is the purpose of traction?

Helps reduce muscle spasm and pain, keeps fragments in alignment, helps prevent deformity

400

Increased pressure in compartment due to swelling or restriction—leads to decreased perfusion—leads to cell death, tissue necrosis, and dysfunction

acute compartment syndrome 

500

 a large multinucleate bone cell which absorbs bone tissue during growth and healing.

osteoclasts 

500

Describe symptoms seen if a fat embolus occurs.

-hypoxemia, neuro changes, petechiae

500

What is the goal of total joint arthroplasty?

-To improve pain, mobility, and quality of life

500

State the reason for and goal of amputation

  • -Goal is to preserve as much limb as possible. 
  • -Reason: vascular complications and diabetes 
500

What treatment is used for acute compartment syndrome? 

If external pressure—bivalve/cut constriction

If internal pressure--fasciotomy
