MedSurg PrepU Ch 35 Assessment of
Musculoskeletal Function
After a fracture, during which stage or phase of bone healing is devitalized
tissue removed and new bone reorganized into its former structural
arrangement?
Remodeling


Explanation:


Remodeling is the final stage of fracture repair. During inflammation,
macrophages invade and debride the fracture area. Revascularization occurs
within about 5 days after a fracture. Callus forms during the reparative stage
but is disrupted by excessive motion at the fracture site.




A patient comes to the clinic and informs the nurse of numbness, tingling, and
a burning sensation in the arm from the elbow down to the fingers. What type
of symptom would this be documented as?
Paresthesia


Explanation:


Sensory disturbances are frequently associated with musculoskeletal
problems. The patient may describe paresthesias, which are sensations of
burning, tingling, or numbness. These sensations may be caused by pressure
on nerves or by circulatory impairment

,We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
Which diagnostic test would the nurse expect to be ordered for a client with
lower extremity muscle weakness?
Electromyograph (EMG)

The EMG provides information about the electrical potential of the muscles
and the nerves leading to them. The test is performed to evaluate muscle
weakness, pain, and disability




The nurse is performing a neurovascular assessment of a client's injured
extremity. Which would the nurse report?
Dusky or mottled skin color


Explanation:


Normally, skin color would be similar to the color in other body areas. Pale or
dusky skin color indicates an abnormality that needs to be reported.




Which is an indicator of neurovascular compromise?
Capillary refill of more than 3 seconds

, Explanation:


Capillary refill of more than 3 seconds is an indicator of neurovascular
compromise. Other indicators include cool skin temperature, pale or cyanotic
color, weakness, paralysis, paresthesia, unrelenting pain, pain upon passive
stretch, and absence of feeling. Cool skin temperature is an indicator of
neurovascular compromise. Unrelenting pain is an indicator of neurovascular
compromise. Pain upon passive stretch is an indicator of neurovascular
compromise




The homecare nurse is evaluating the musculoskeletal system of a geriatric
client whose previous assessment was within normal limits. The nurse
initiates a call to the health care provider and/or emergency services when
which change is found?
Decreased right-sided muscle strength




A patient is scheduled for a procedure that will allow the physician to visualize
the knee joint in order to diagnose the patient's pain. What procedure will the
nurse prepare the patient for?
Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a procedure that allows direct visualization of a joint through
the use of a fiberoptic endoscope. Thus, it is a useful adjunct to diagnosing
joint disorders.
