LASTQUIZ Flashcards
A tearing of the subcutaneous tissue that results in hemorrhage, edema, or pain
Contusion
Blood in soft tissue
Hematoma
Torn ligament or ligaments stretched. Swelling pain and immobility occurs
Sprain
Small tear in muscle or tednon occuring overtime, pain and edema occur
Strain
Break in bone
Fracture
What type of fracture is Bone broken but not through skin
Simple
Fracture that is broken bone through skin, at great risk for infection
Compund
Fracture that is incomplete, one side is broken other side is bent
Greenstick
Fracture that is caused by forceful twisting motion
Spiral
With a spiral fracture what must we not rule out
child abuse
A non-displaced fracture is when
Bones are still in alignment
A displaced fracture is when
Bones have shifted and need to be re-aligned
No surgery, bones are gently put back into place and cast or traction is applied
Closed reduction
Surgical procedure usually requiring pins, rods, or other devices
Open reduction
Used when the immobilization required is more that what could be obtained by casting
Traction
What are the 4 purposes of traction
Ensure alignment, Secure corrected position, prevent or treat contracture deformities, and to relieve muscle spasm and back pain
How do we check pulses during nuerovascular assessment
Distal to injury or cast, if it is difficult use a doppler
If the child cannot feel touch on the extremety what can we expect it to be
compartment syndrome
What are the excersies called that are used to prevent muscle atrophy and to strenghten muscle
isometric excersices
Weights in traction care should
hang freely and not touch the floor
Ropes in pulley for traction care should
Move freely, and not be obstructed
What is the last thing that child will develop, and when should it advance
Fine motor coordination, before 7 yo
By 18 months the child should be able to
Walk steady
By 6 years of age the child should be able to in reference to gait
walk like an adult
Muscle tone is developed
Cephalocaudal
What is psuedoparalysis
When child is afraid to move extremity because it is going to hurt
What are the 5 P’s in Neurovasuclar Assessment
Pain, Pallor, Parasthesia, Paralysis, Pulse
Tearing of subcutaneous tissue
Contusion
Blood in the soft tissue
Hematoma
What does RICE stand for and what is it used for
Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Soft tissue injuires
When elevating for a soft tissue injury what must we elevate it by
Above level of heart
How do we wrap an Ace bandage
Wrap distal to proximal
A buckle fracture is also known as a
Greenstick fracture
If growth plate is involved what can happen
Permanent deformitiy
What are the two things we need to look for, in plaster cast - post op
Can dry unevenly, can cause pressure
Why is fiberglass preferred over Plaster (3)
Drys quicker, lighter, easier to remove
Spica body casts are from the
nipple line to ankles
Why is buttocks kept of bed
So no compression on sciatic nerve
What is Volkman’s ischemia
lack of blood flow
Skin traction is used for children (age,weight)
under 3 years old or under 30lbs
Describe Russels traction
Weight pulls in two direction, body acts ad counterweight
Skeletal fraction is
2 weights hanging from bed frame
What is patient at risk for in skeletal tracrtion
risk for infection and immobility
In skeletal traction, what bone does it go through
Femur
Halo traction is used for the
Neck
In Bryants traction what does the patient have a risk for
Volkman’s ischemia
Inflammation of the bone, staph aureus, and a blood borne infection is
Osteomyelitis
What are the 3 S&S of Osteomyelitis
Fever, Pain, Psuedoparalysis
With an elevated ESR, and Luekocytosis what can we expect
Osteomyelitis
For Osteomyeltiss it is important the the limb affected remains
immobile
Breakdown, deferioration of muscles, more common in males
Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy
Fatty infilration of muscle cells with tissue breakdown happens in
Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy
What are 4 S&S of Duchenne Muscular Dystropy
Delayed Walking, decreased muscle strength, Lordosis, Clumsiness
What is the name of the sign and what is it in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Kids cant lift themselves off the floor, grabbing when lifting GOWERS SIGN
What is the life extpectancy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
early 30s
Also known as Coxaploma, it is a Degenerative Hip disease
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
Lack of circulation to femoral head
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
Can have 4-8 years with limp, cause is unknown,
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
What usually comec before a diagnosis of Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
Trauma or Synovitis
Bucks traction is mainly done to
Abduct legs
What are 3 tx. For Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
Bucks traction, Hip bracing, Maintaining ROM but limiting activity
What is prognosis for Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease
Good-w/ potential for hip degeneration in later years
tumor that causes deformity and pain
Benign
tumor that had development of abnormal cells
Malignant
Growth in marrow of long bones. Mets to lungs and other bones, usually occurs after a fracture
Ewings Sarcoma
Primary malignant tumor of long bones
Osteosarcoma
What is one thing patient does not want to hear that has Osteosarcoma
Success stories
What are 3 things we can do for patient post op Osteosarcoma surgery
Teach about phantom limb pain, PT to prothesis, emotional support
Arthirits children get that usually follows a strep infection

Fever that is x10 days, affects internal organs
Systemic Fever
Arthritis in 5 or more joints is called
Polyarticular
Arthriits in 4 or less joints is called
Pauciarticular
Inflammation of the eyes is called
Uveitis
What is the child at risk for who is taking NSAIDS
ulcers and gastric bleeding
For kids with juvenile rheumathoid arthritis, we want to prevent Ankylosis which is a
