While walking, a post-menopausal grandmother falls off a curb and lands hard on

Question

While walking, a post-menopausal grandmother falls off a curb and lands hard on her outstretched right arm. Her physicians diagnose a fracture of the bone which forms the only bony connection between the upper limb and the axial skeleton. They also note damage to the joint between the fractured bone and the axial skeleton. They perform surgery to realign the bone at the fracture to allow proper healing and they use a titanium plate to permanently secure the fractured bone to the axial skeleton at the injured joint. However, they are particularly concerned because her bone mass is quite low and due to her advanced age, she also has low osteoblast activity. Using the above passage, which will most likely improve this woman's overall, long-term bone health? O Decreasing physical activity Increasing dietary osteoid Decreasing dietary vitamin D Increasing dietary vitamin C 4 0.5 While walking, a post-menopausal grandmother falls off a curb and lands hard on her outstretched right arm.

Using the above passage, what bone of the appendicular skeleton is fractured? O Humerus O Stemum O Clavicle Scapula

Explanation / Answer

Increasing dietary osteoid that means calcium will help her in quicker recovery. Though it is recommended to immobila the fractured bone until full recovery.

The bone that is fractured is upper limb bone which connects the upper limb to the axial skeleton

So humerus is the bone that is fractured in this case
