The doctor prescribes an orthosis that helps stabilize the forearm while allowing free movement at the wrist and elbow joints. What type of orthosis should be used?

• forearm-based splint

• non articular orthosis

• dynamic orthosis

What is the correct position of rest?

• Wrist: 20-30° flex, MPs: 90° ext, PIPs: Full ext, DIPs: slight flex

• Wrist: 0-15* ext, MPs: 0* neutral, PIPs: 0* neutral, DIPs: full ext

• Wrist: 0-20* ext, MPs: 30-45* flex, PIPs: 20-40* flex, DIPs: slight flex

What are the cells responsible for producing the pigment that gives skin its color?

• melanocytes

• keratinocytes

• fibrocytes

How do melanocytes contribute to the development of dark spots on the skin after a minor injury?

• they increase the production of melanin, leading to a darkened area in response to the injury

• they release collagen, which causes the skin to darken

• They promote the growth of new skin cells that prevent pigmentation

What is the correct position of safety?

• Wrist: 10* ext, MPs: 50* flex, PIPs: 20* flex, DIPS: 10* flex

• wrist: 30* ext, MPs 80* flex, PIPs: 20* flex, DIPS: 0* flex

• Wrist: 30* ext, MPs: 70-90* flex, PIPs: 0* flex, DIPS: 0* flex

A client presents to the clinic with DX of R boxers' fracture to the 5th digit. You fabricate this orthosis. How would you document this in your SOAP note.

• Fabricated hand and finger-based immobilization orthosis of the 4th and 5th digit. The orthosis is ulnar-based in the semi-protective position. MP's at 70* and IP's at 30*

• Fabricated hand and finger-based immobilization orthosis of the 4th and 5th digit. The orthosis is ulnar-based in the protective position. MP's at 70* and IP's free

• Fabricated hand and finger-based immobilization orthosis of the 4th and 5th digit. The orthosis is ulnar-based in the protective position. MP's at 90

You should always debride a necrotic wound.

• True

• False

What happens during the proliferation or granulation stage of wound healing?

• Pulls the wound closed

• stops bleeding

• new framework for blood vessel growth

New blood vessels form and extend to the wound edge

• homeostasis

• revascularization

• angiogenesis
