Question 1 of 5
An adolescent client reports to the nurse of walking with a limp due to pain localized in the right knee which worsens at night but denies any recent injury or trauma. The nurse observes swelling and tenderness in the right lower thigh and imaging results reveal radial ossification in the soft tissues. Which condition should the nurse consider as the probable cause of the findings?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nighttime knee pain, swelling, tenderness, and radial ossification suggest osteosarcoma, a bone tumor common in adolescents. Rhabdomyolysis, growing pains, and hemosiderosis don't typically present with these findings.
