Question 1

Bones are made mostly of&#10;A) cartilage and collagen.&#10;B) calcium and cartilage.&#10;C) calcium and collagen.&#10;D) collagen, calcium, and cartilage.

Accepted Answer

Bones are primarily composed of collagen, a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium phosphate, a mineral that adds strength and hardens the framework. This combination makes bones strong and flexible enough to withstand stress. Cartilage is found in specific areas, such as joints, but it is not a primary component of bone.

Question 2

Which are examples of synovial joints?&#10;A) Rib, skull, and hip&#10;B) Skull, elbow, and wrist&#10;C) Hip, elbow, and ankle&#10;D) Knee, hip, and spine

Accepted Answer

Synovial joints are characterized by their freedom of movement and the presence of a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid. Examples include the hip, elbow, and ankle, which allow for a wide range of movements.

Which defines osteoarthritis?&#10;A) A genetic disorder with general musculoskeletal pain&#10;B) A disease of progressive bone loss&#10;C) A condition with the breakdown of the joint's cartilage&#10;D) A chronic inflammation of the joint lining

Accepted Answer

Osteoarthritis is characterized by the breakdown and eventual loss of cartilage in one or more joints. Cartilage serves as a cushion between the bones of the joints, and its deterioration leads to pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the joint.

Patients with osteoporosis most commonly fracture their&#10;A) wrist, spine, and knee.&#10;B) spine, hip, and wrist.&#10;C) shoulder, ankle, and knee.&#10;D) hip, wrist, and shoulder.

Accepted Answer

Osteoporosis commonly leads to fractures in areas of the body that bear a lot of stress or are prone to falls, such as the spine, hip, and wrist. These locations are particularly vulnerable due to the loss of bone density and strength associated with osteoporosis.

Accepted Answer

Bursitis is the inflammation of a bursa, which is a small, fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between bones and other moving parts, such as muscles, tendons, or skin. This condition can cause pain, swelling, and limited movement in the affected area.

Question 8

A patient has chronic weakness and numbness in his hand and fingers that is aggravated by typing. You should suspect&#10;A) collagen deficiency syndrome.&#10;B) wrist tendonitis.&#10;C) wrist bursitis.&#10;D) carpal tunnel syndrome.

Question 10

Which is a standard part of patient assessment in a nontraumatic musculoskeletal disorder?&#10;A) Assessment of the dorsalis pedis pulse&#10;B) Performing a rapid medical assessment&#10;C) Splinting a painful extremity&#10;D) Assessing with the Glasgow Coma Scale

Accepted Answer

Assessing the dorsalis pedis pulse is a standard part of patient assessment in nontraumatic musculoskeletal disorders to evaluate circulation to the extremities.
