Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Osteogenic sarcoma occurs in young men aged 10 to 25. They are malignant bone tumors that can cause a pathologic fracture and they are accompanied by pain on weight bearing. Osteochondromas are benign and usually do not cause fractures.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The patient with osteomyelitis should be at least in drainage and secretion precaution. The limb should be positioned for maximum comfort and left at rest. These patients are usually on bed rest and require a high-calorie, high-protein diet.
