Question 1 of 5
When asked to describe in layman's terms an overview of the condition called osteomyelitis, what would be the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Osteomyelitis is an infection in the bone that can be caused by bacteria reaching the bone either from outside the body (such as through an open fracture) or inside the body (such as through the bloodstream). This response provides a concise and accurate explanation of osteomyelitis, making it the best choice.
Choices A and B provide inaccurate information about the condition, attributing it to age-related bone breakdown and Vitamin D deficiency, which are not correct causes of osteomyelitis.
Choice D deflects the question instead of providing the patient with a clear explanation, making it an inappropriate response.
