Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) - correct answer a geriatric
inflammatory disorder of the muscles and joints characterized by
pain and stiffness. hallmark of this condition is the rapid and
often dramatic response, typically within a few days, to low-dose

prednisone in such a case should prompt the physician to
consider another diagnosis

orally one time; ceftriaxone, 250 mg intramuscularly one time; or
rifampin, 600 mg orally twice daily for 2 days. Treatment should

of fracture needs to account for the activity level of the patient. It
has been shown that active patients have shorter healing times

nonsurgical option is chosen the patient is given an initial
posterior splint and followed up in 3-5 days, then placed in a
short non-weight-bearing cast for 6 weeks, at which time a
repeat radiograph is taken. If the radiograph shows healing, the
patient can return to gradual weight bearing. If the radiograph
does not show proper healing, then the period of non-weight
bearing is extended.

otherwise contraindicated, asplenic patients should receive
annual influenza immunization. Pneumococcal polysaccharide
vaccine (PPSV23) should be given twice, with the second dose
given 5 years after the first.
