Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

An ulnar fracture that does not show callus formation in 14 weeks is classified as experiencing nonunion. Electromagnetic stimulation has been demonstrated to enhance healing in circumstances of nonunion. Buck traction, antibiotics, and exercise are not indicated for nonunion of a fracture.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

Halo traction uses pins surgically implanted in the skull, which increases the risk for infection. Acute pain is not as high a priority as the risk for meningitis. Risk for Disuse is also an appropriate lower-priority diagnosis. Halo traction is not connected to weights.
