Pregunta 10

Pregunta
A child has scoliosis with a 40-degree curvature of the spine, and the parent is worried about pulmonary involvement. What statement by the healthcare professional is most appropriate?
Respuesta
  • “Scoliosis is a bone disorder and does not affect the lungs.”
  • “Yes, we should obtain pulmonary function studies soon.”
  • “Scoliosis severe enough to involve the lungs would be fatal.”
  • “The lungs aren’t affected until the curvature is over 80 degrees.”

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
In osteomyelitis, bacteria gain access to the subperiosteal space in the metaphysis. What factor makes this route the easiest for bacteria to gain access to this area?
Respuesta
  • Cortex of the bone in this area is porous or mazelike.
  • Blood supply to the metaphysis is easily compromised
  • Macrophages and lymphocytes have limited access to the subperiosteal space.
  • Bacteria usually spread down the medullary cavity of the bone.

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
The student wants to know how the clinical manifestations and onset of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) differ from those of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in adults. What answer by the healthcare professional is best?
Respuesta
  • JIA begins insidiously with systemic signs of inflammation.
  • JIA predominantly affects large joints.
  • JIA has more severe joint pain than adult RA.
  • JIA has a rapid onset of generalized aches as the first symptom.

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
An adolescent has been diagnosed with osteochondrosis. How does the healthcare professional describe the pathophysiology to the teen?
Respuesta
  • Imbalance between calcitonin and parathyroid hormone
  • Nutritional deficiency of calcium and phosphorus
  • Bacterial infection of the bone
  • Vascular impairment and trauma to bone

Respuesta
  • Elbow and upper and lower arm pain is aggravated by activity and relieved by rest.
  • Knee, inner thigh, and groin pain is described as a continuous ache and relieved by antiinflammatory drugs.
  • Knee, inner thigh, and groin pain is aggravated by activity and relieved by rest.
  • Elbow and upper and lower arm pain is described as a continuous ache and relieved by antiinflammatory drugs.
