HOSA FINAL!!!! Flashcards
(82 cards)
CSC: Cauliflower ear (Auricular hematoma) - need at least 3 of each and med term
Cause: compression or shear injury to ear, single or repeated, subcutaneous bleeding
Sign: Tearing of overlying tissue away from cartilage, hemorrhaging and fluid accumulation, if unattended-coagulation, organization and fibrosis occurs, appears as elevated, white, rounded nodular formation that is from and resembles cauliflower
Care: wear proper ear protection, cold application will minimize hemorrhaging, swelling, prevent fluid solidification, physician aspiration, packing, pressure,
Second -Impact Syndrome - need 3 of each
Cause: Rapid swelling, herniation of the brain after 2nd head injury before symptoms of 1st have resolved, may b relatively minimal not involve contact with the cranium, disrupts the brain’s blood autoregulatory system leading to swelling increasing intracranial pressure.
Sign: Often does not LOC & may look stunned, w/in 15 sec to several minutes condition degrades rapidly, dilated pupils, loss of eye movement, LOC, coma, respiratory failure
Care: Life-threatening injury must be addressed immediately with life saving measures at an emergency facility
Sudden Death - need 3 of each (1 of many causes listed)
-Marfans syndrome
Cause: abnormality in connective tissues resulting in weakened aorta and cardiac vessels
Sign: Immediate effects, no prior signs, chest pain, heat palp
Care: Immediate care, screening, cardiac screening, counseling
Medial Epicondylitis - need to know 3 and common name
-pitchers elbow
Cause: repeated forceful flexion (wrist) and excessive valgus torque of elbow, pain w/ forceful flex/ext.
Sign: point tenderness, swelling, prom elicits pain/ arom does not sling
Care: rest, ice, heat, analgesics, NSAIDs, brace below to reduce stress, severe 7-10 days rest with splint
Collies fx
Cause: lower end radius/ulna, MOI fall on outstretched hand - forced hyperext. forward displacement
Sign: ext. bleeding, swelling, tendons torn/avulsed, median nerve damage
Care: cold compress, splint wrist, x-ray immob., out 1- months
Elbow Dislocation
Cause: fall on outstretched hand, repetitive forceful flexion (wrist) and excessive valgus forces (elbow)
SIgn: deformity, displacement of radial ulnar bone
Care: splint 24 hr, decreased ROM, gradual return to activity
Quad contusion
Cause: deep or constant traumatic blows
Sign: pain, immediate bleeding, transitory loss of function
Care: RICE in flexed, NAIDs, crutches, heat and massage
Myositis ossificans
Cause: ectopic bone formation, blunt trauma, blunt trauma
Sign: Calcium deposit, pain swelling, decreased ROM, tissue tension
Care: Surgical removal after 1 yr to prevent it from forming again, conservative care
T/F: Hip joint sprains commonly cause the inability to circumduct the hip as well as pain with the rotation
True
T/F: Acute pelvic &/or femoral fx must be treated for shock & can be life-threatening
True
T/F:During the observation portion of assessment, postural symmetry is noted by observing the level of the iliac crests, as well as palpating the ASIS & PSIS
True
T/F: Swollen lymph nodes in the groin could be an indication of an infection in the leg
True
T/F: Acute femoral fx commonly occur in the middle third of the shaft due to structure & point of contact
True
T/F: Femoral stress fx are commonly seen in the femoral head
False
T/F: Quadriceps muscle strains are more common than Hamstring muscle strains
False
MC: Improper care of a thigh contusion to incomplete absorption of the hematoma which later produces formation similar to cartilage or bone, is called -
A. myositis ossificans
B. ostemyelitis
C. osteopyrexia
D. myositis dessicans
A. myositis ossificans
M/C: In managing or caring for a hamstring strain, which of the following actions should be avoided?
A. Ballistic stretching
B. immediately applying ice
C. Elastic wrap compression
D. Mild static stretching
A. Ballistic stretching
M/C: Amenorrheic females are more vulnerable to stress fx. What doe amenorrheic mean & why does that make them more at risk?
A. without menstruation, lack of hormones reduce bone density
B. without menstruation, blood loss causes increased activity in red bone marrow
C. abnormally heavy menstruation, lack of hormones reduce bone density
D. abnormally heavy menstruation, blood loss causes increased activity in red bone marrow
A. without menstruation, lack of hormones reduce bone density
M/C: An injury that results from a blow to an unprotected iliac crest & produces a rather disabling injury is -
A. Hip pointer
B. groin strain
C. dislocated hip
D. quad strain
A. Hip pointer
M/C: Which of the following special tests does NOT test for hip flexor contractures, sciatic nerve impingement or SI joint dysfunction
A. Thompson
B. Thomas
C. SI Compression & Distraction
D. Straight Leg Raise
A. Thompson
M/C: Which of the following is NOT a cause of a Hamstring muscle strain?
A. Rapid knee extension
B. Hamstring & Quad contract together
C. Change in role form hip extender to keep flexor
D. Lack of flexibility
A. Rapid knee extension
M/C: What is an avulsion fx?
A. Small piece of bone brakes off, usually caused by the ligament or tendon attachment
B. Complete fx across the entire bone, usually occurring in the middle 1/3
C. Bone breaks into 3 or more pieces, usually caused by direct trauma
D. small area of bone compresses down over the bone below, usually caused by a fall
A. Small piece of bone brakes off, usually caused by the ligament or tendon attachment
M/C: Repetitive stress on the public symphysis & adjacent bony structures & muscles, often seen in distance runners is -
A. osteitis pubis
B. osteomyeliti
C. pubic apophysitis
D. osteochondrosis
A. osteitis pubis
Name and Describe 2 ways to prevent a thigh injury:
Strengthening: endrance and movement exercises will help strengthen muscle to avoid overuse or stress
Stretching: better ROM and prepare muscles for workouts or trainings to decrease the chance of sprains or overuse
