Osteomalacia Is a Metabolic Bone Disease Characterized by Inadequate Mineralization

Question 15
Multiple Choice

Osteomalacia is a metabolic bone disease characterized by inadequate mineralization of bone, which leads to a reduced absorption of calcium and phosphorus. This malabsorptive condition is due to a deficiency of ______________ that can be treated by __________________. A)calcium; nutritional diet and mineral supplements B)vitamin D; dietary supplements and exposure to sunlight C)phosphorus; nutraceuticals and exposure to therapeutic radiation D)soy protein; weight-bearing exercise and sunlight

Q 16
Paget's disease is a disorder affecting older adults. The bones are weak and poorly constructed. It is characterized by the proliferation of osteoclasts and compensatory increased osteoblastic activity. This degenerative process results in: A)weak and non supported bone matrix. B)replacement of cancellous bone with cortical bone. C)rapid, disorganized bone remodeling. D)immature bone cells with air spaces.
Q 17
In an open anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair, an examination under anesthesia (EUA) is performed immediately after induction of anesthesia, when the ligaments are completely lax, to evaluate the severity of the injury. The surgeon then makes a straight midline or slightly medial incision across the knee. Arthroscopic repair causes less patellar pain and decreased disturbance of extensor mechanisms. What preoperative indicators contribute to selecting the surgical approach (open or arthroscopic) of choice? A)Classification and severity of the tear or capsular instability B)Surgeon experience and preference C)Patient history of a prior failed repair or gross knee joint disruption D)All of the options are contributing factors.
Q 18
Revision arthroplasty may be indicated if the patient's original knee replacement wears out or loosens, or fails as a result of repeated dislocation, infection, or trauma. Total joint revision can be a very demanding and complicated procedure. Attention to detail, anticipation, and preparation are essential. Following the induction of anesthesia, the surgeon performs an exam under anesthesia (EUA) to determine the approach. The most difficult aspect of revision surgery is that there is: A)considerable scar tissue and edema. B)a significant challenge ahead with postoperative pain management. C)no clear-cut sequence of events. D)polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement that must be drilled out.
