211 Unit 2 Worksheet -------------------- **True or False. If false, correct the statement by replacing the italicized word or phrase.** *Decreased* phosphorus levels are a diagnostic finding of bone tumors and healing fractures. Calcium levels are *increased* in bone cancer and multiple fractures. Creatinine Kinase is a diagnostic lab used to diagnose muscle trauma or disease. A history of a total knee arthroplasty with a titanium implant is *not* a contraindication for MRIs. *Myelograms* are the most cost-effective diagnostic test in detecting diffuse metastatic bone metastasis. If a client complains of severe pain during a straight leg raising test it indicates *sciatic nerve compression*. When *corticosteroids* are used, bone loss may occur rapidly and increase risk of fracture. Advantages of *laminectomies* include a shortened hospital stay and better pain management. Donor bone for a spinal fusion is typically taken from the client's *iliac crest*. Older adults should be encouraged to practice *low impact, weight-bearing exercises* to reduce risk for osteoporosis. Pregnant women are encouraged to *begin* cardio exercise if they have never done cardio exercise before. *Secondary* arthritis has no definitive cause.

Signs of infections are usually noticed *24 hours* after a TJA. **Labeling.** Label the picture with the type of fracture: fracture types \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **Short Answer.** **List Risk Factors for back pain:** **List Risk Factors for OA:** **What are normal findings after cast removal:** **What are the safety precautions for a post-operative total hip arthroplasty client?** **List assessment findings of a hip fracture:** **List assessment findings of the following fracture or surgical complications:** Fat Embolism Syndrome: Compartment Syndrome: Deep Vein Thrombosis: Pulmonary Embolism: Osteomyelitis: **What precautions should be implemented for a patient with Parkinson's Disease?** **List the Priority Problems/Nursing Diagnosis for each problem:** 1.
