2. Death of bone tissue can occur when the blood supply to the bone is disrupted. What is this complication called?

A. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy
B. Avascular necrosis
C. Delayed union
D. Complex regional pain syndrome

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, avascular necrosis. Avascular necrosis is the condition where bone tissue dies due to the disruption of blood supply to the bone. Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (Choice A) is a chronic pain condition, delayed union (Choice C) refers to a delayed healing of a fracture, and complex regional pain syndrome (Choice D) is a chronic pain condition typically affecting an arm or leg.

4. What occurs during stage three of bone healing?

A. Consolidation
B. Callus formation
C. Granulation formation
D. Hematoma formation

Correct answer: B

Rationale: During stage three of bone healing, callus formation occurs. This process involves the formation of a soft callus made of collagen and cartilage, which bridges the gap between bone fragments. Choice A, consolidation, typically happens in later stages and involves the hardening of the callus into mature bone. Choices C and D are incorrect as granulation formation and hematoma formation occur in earlier stages of bone healing, specifically stages one and two, respectively.
