Question

1. if a fracture has a protrusion through the skin, it is a:

complete fracture
closed fracture
greenstick fracture
open fracture

1. the diagnostic term rheumat/oid arthr/itis refers to:

pain flowing through joint
condition of joint swelling
auto-immune disease often with cartilaginous hypertrophy
state of joint inflammation

Explanation:

Question 39

An open fracture (also called compound fracture) is defined as a fracture where the broken bone protrudes through the skin. A complete fracture is when the bone is fully broken into separate pieces, a closed fracture has no skin break, and a greenstick fracture is an incomplete fracture common in children. So the correct option is open fracture.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the joints, often leading to cartilaginous hypertrophy (overgrowth of cartilage - related tissue in joints) and joint damage. "Pain flowing through joint" is incorrect terminology. "Condition of joint swelling" is too vague (many conditions cause joint swelling). "State of joint inflammation" is also vague, and RA is specifically an autoimmune condition with characteristic joint changes including cartilaginous hypertrophy. So the correct option is the one about auto - immune disease often with cartilaginous hypertrophy.

Answer:

D. open fracture (assuming the options are labeled A - D as: A. complete fracture, B. closed fracture, C. greenstick fracture, D. open fracture)
