Report
ANS: B PTS: 1 Fred has been diagnosed with a trigger finger of the ring finger. Which of the following management strategies is appropriate? Surgical removal of the tendon sheath NSAIDs Local anesthetic injection into the tendon sheath Splinting ANS: C PTS: 1 Mrs. Anderson is a 35-year-old woman who has been recently diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. She has two young children and asks the clinician what the chances are that they also will develop carpal tunnel syndrome. Which of the following responses would be correct regarding the risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome? Carpal tunnel syndrome commonly occurs in families. Genetic factors are thought to account for about one-half the risk of developing carpal tunnel. People with occupations that require repeated flexion extension of the wrist, use of hand tools that require forceful gripping, or use of hand tools that vibrate are at risk for developing carpal tunnel. An underlying musculoskeletal disorder must be present for a person to develop carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome only occurs in the presence of a hormonal imbalance. ANS: B PTS: 1 Which of the following statements is true regarding the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome? The goal of treatment is to prevent flexion and extension movements of the wrist. Splints are not used in carpal tunnel syndrome, because they restrict complete movement of the fingers and wrist. Corticosteroid injections are encouraged in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Treatment that encourages fluid retention, to keep the joints lubricated, is an emphasis of treatment.
