Answer to Question 1

Draining sinus tracts and foot ulcers are seen in chronic osteomyelitis. High fever, swelling, and redness are more often seen in acute osteomyelitis. Pain or tenderness can be in either case.

Comfort measures for Paget's disease include heat and massage. Administering medications and referrals are done by the nurse. A bed cradle is not necessary.
