Test Bank- Musculoskeletal
A patient with left knee pain is diagnosed with bursitis. The nurse will explain
that bursitis is an
inflammation of
a. the synovial membrane that lines the joint.
b. a small, fluid-filled sac found at some joints.
c. the fibrocartilage that acts as a shock absorber in the knee joint.
d. any connective tissue that is found supporting the joints of the body -
correct answer ✔ANS: B
Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints and bony prominences.
Fibrocartilage is a solid tissue that
cushions some joints. Bursae are a specific type of connective tissue. The
synovial membrane lines many joints
but is not a bursa.


The nurse who notes that a 59-year-old female patient has lost 1 inch in
height over the past 2 years will
plan to teach the patient about
Test Bank - Medical-Surgical Nursing: Assessment and Management of
Clinical Problems 10e 797
a. discography studies.
b. myelographic testing.
c. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
d. dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). - correct answer ✔ANS: D
The decreased height and the patients age suggest that the patient may have
osteoporosis and that bone density

,testing is needed. Discography, MRI, and myelography are typically done for
patients with current symptoms
caused by musculoskeletal dysfunction and are not the initial diagnostic tests
for osteoporosis


4. Which information in a 67-year-old womans health history will alert the
nurse to the need for a more
focused assessment of the musculoskeletal system?
a. The patient sprained her ankle at age 13.
b. The patients mother became shorter with aging.
c. The patient takes ibuprofen (Advil) for occasional headaches.
d. The patients father died of complications of miliary tuberculosis - correct
answer ✔ANS: B
A family history of height loss with aging may indicate osteoporosis, and the
nurse should perform a more
thorough assessment of the patients current height and other risk factors for
osteoporosis. A sprained ankle
during adolescence does not place the patient at increased current risk for
musculoskeletal problems. A family
history of tuberculosis is not a risk factor. Occasional nonsteroidal
antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) use does
not indicate any increased musculoskeletal risk.


5. Which information obtained during the nurses assessment of a 30-year-old
patients nutritional-metabolic
pattern may indicate the risk for musculoskeletal problems?
a. The patient takes a multivitamin daily.
b. The patient dislikes fruits and vegetables.
c. The patient is 5 ft 2 in and weighs 180 lb.

Clinical Problems 10e 798
d. The patient prefers whole milk to nonfat milk - correct answer ✔ANS: C
The patients height and weight indicate obesity, which places stress on
weight-bearing joints. The use of whole
milk, avoiding fruits and vegetables, and use of a daily multivitamin are not
risk factors for musculoskeletal
problems.


6. Which medication information will the nurse identify as a concern for a
patients musculoskeletal status?
a. The patient takes a daily multivitamin and calcium supplement.
b. The patient takes hormone therapy (HT) to prevent hot flashes.
c. The patient has severe asthma and requires frequent therapy with oral
corticosteroids.
d. The patient has migraine headaches treated with nonsteroidal
antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). - correct answer ✔ANS: C
Frequent or chronic corticosteroid use may lead to skeletal problems such as
avascular necrosis and
osteoporosis. The use of HT and calcium supplements will help prevent
osteoporosis. NSAID use does not
increase the risk for musculoskeletal problems.


7. The nurse finds that a patient can flex the arms when no resistance is
applied but is unable to flex when the
nurse applies light resistance. The nurse should document the patients
muscle strength as level
a. 0.
b. 1.
