| 5712558844 | Joint | Place where bones articulate or meat | 1 | |
| 5712558845 | Appendicular skeleton | The parts of the skeleton made up of the extremities | 2 | |
| 5712558846 | Periosteum | Strong, white, fibrous material that cover the bones. Blood vessels and nerves pass through this membrane as they enter and leave the bone. | 3 | |
| 5712558847 | Phalanges | There are 28 that make up the toes and 28 that make up the fingers | 4 | |
| 5712558848 | Cartilage | Tough tissues that cover the joint ends of Bones and helps to form certain body parts such as the ear. | 5 | |
| 5712558849 | Tendons | Tissue that connect muscle to bone. | 6 | |
| 5712558850 | Ligaments | Tissues that connect bone to bone | 7 | |
| 5712558851 | The three mechanisms that cause musculoskeletal injuries | Direct Force comma indirect force, and twisting force. | 8 | |
| 5712558852 | Traction splint | A splint that applies constant pull along the length of a lower extremity to help stabilize the fractured bone and reduce muscle spasm in the limb. Traction splints are used primarily on femoral shaft fractures. | 9 | |
| 5712558853 | Fracture | Any break in a bone | 10 | |
| 5712558854 | Comminuted fracture | A fracture in which the bone is broken in several places | 11 | |
| 5712558855 | Greenstick fracture | An incomplete fracture | 12 | |
| 5712558856 | Angulated fracture | Fracture in which the broken bone segments are at an angle to each other | 13 | |
| 5712558857 | Sprain | The stretching and tearing of ligaments | 14 | |
| 5712558858 | Strain | Muscle injury resulting from overstretching or overexertion of the muscle. | 15 | |
| 5712558859 | Closed extremity injury | An injury to an extremity with no Associated opening in the skin | 16 | |
| 5712558860 | Open extremity injury | An extremity injury in which the skin has been broken or torn through From the Inside by an injured bone or from the outside but something that has caused a penetrating wound with Associated injury to the Bone. Increased likelihood of contamination and subsequent infection. | 17 | |
| 5712558861 | Compartment syndrome | Injury cause when tissues such as blood vessels and nerves are constricted with a space either from swelling or from a tight dressing or cast. | 18 | |
| 5712558862 | Crepitus | A grating sensation or sound made when fractured bone ends rub together. Also called grading. | 19 | |
| 5712558863 | The six "PS" assessing compromise to an extremity | Pain or tenderness Pallor Paresthesia, or the sensation of pins and needles Pulse Paralysis Pressure | 20 | |
| 5712558864 | The object of realignment | To assist in restoring effective circulation to the extremity and 2 fit into a splint. | 21 | |
| 5712558865 | Guidelines for realigning an extremity | 1. EMT grasps the distal extremity while partner places one hand above and one hand below the injury site. 2. The partner support the site while the first EMT creates gentle manual Traction in the direction of the long axis of the extremity. If you feel resistance or if it appears that bone ends will come through the skin, stop realignment and splint the extremity in the position found. 3. If no resistance is felt maintain gentle traction until the extremity is properly aligned and splinted. | 22 | |
| 5712558866 | True or false? The method of splinting is always dictated by the severity of the patient's condition and by the priority for transportation | True | 23 | |
| 5712558867 | Results of applying a splint too tightly | It can compress soft tissue and injured nerves, blood vessels, and muscles. | 24 | |
| 5712558868 | Traction applied with traction splint | Equal to roughly 10% of the patients body weight but should not exceed 15 pounds | 25 | |
| 5712558869 | What are indications for a traction splint? | Painful, swollen, deformed mid thigh with no joint or lower leg injury. A traction splint is contraindicated if there is a pelvis, hip, or knee injury. | 26 | |
| 5712558870 | True or false? A rigid splint should be used for injuries to the clavicle, scapula, or the head of the humerus. | False | 27 | |
| 5712558871 | Do not tie a sling around the patient's neck if there is a possible... | Cervical spine injury | 28 | |
| 5712558872 | Blood at the meatus of the penis is a sign of what? | Pelvic fracture | 29 | |
| 5712558873 | What can be used as a substitute for a PASG? | Pelvic wrap | 30 | |
| 5712558874 | Anterior hip dislocation | The patient's entire lower limb is rotated outward, and the hip is usually flexed. | 31 | |
| 5712558875 | Posterior hip dislocation | The patient's leg is rotated inward, the hip is flexed, and the knee is bent. Most common. | 32 | |
| 5712558876 | True or false? A traction splint should be applied if you suspect there may be additional injuries or fractures to the area of the knee or tibia or fibia of the same length | False | 33 |
