Osteomyelitis

Click on the correct answer




1 Osteomyelitis:
Is a bone infection usually caused by bacteria.
Is an infection of the muscle caused by a fungal infection.
Is a joint & muscle infection caused by a virus.
Is a form of bone cancer that is predominately found in children.

2 Examples of exogenous osteomyelitis would include:
penetrating wounds, surgical procedures, & sinusitis.
dental infections & ear infections.
surgical procedures, penetrating wounds, & open fractures.
Bites, penetrating wounds, & sickle cell anemia.

3 Endogenous osteomyelitis
Is caused by pathogens carried in the blood from sites of infection elsewhere in the body.
Is caused from pathogens which enter the body causing infection to spread from soft tissue into the bone.

4 The most common site(s) for adults with osteomyelits include:
skull, humerous
femur
spine, pelvis
femur, scapula

5 Animal (dog & cat) bites that can result in osteomyelitis are frequently caused by:
Pasteurella multocida
Streptococcus B
Staph aureus
Tuberculosis

6 Inflammation of the bone is characterized by:
vascular engorgement, edema, & leukocyte activity.
abscess formation.
edema, bleeding, & leukocyte activity.
B & C
A & B

7 In children, the abscess lifts the periosteum off of the underlying bone resulting in:
sequestrum
involucrum
exudate
osteoblast destruction

8 In the adult with hematogenous osteomyelitis generally results in:
muscle spasm, swelling of soft tissue around the involved bone.
pain in the affected area.
fever, malaise, anorexia, & weight loss.
guarding of the affected limb to minimize movement.

9 In exogenous osteomyelitis:
produces no inflammatory exudate.
hip contractures are a frequent result.
there is a recent history of catheterization, cystoscopy, etc.
symptoms of soft-tissue infection predominate.

10 Chronic refractory osteomyelitis can be benefited from:
Continuous antibiotic therapy.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Osteoblast transplant.
Low level radiation.
