A nurse is assisting with the cast change of a client that fractured the right wrist 4 weeks ?ago. The client ?asks the nurse, "How does bone heal with just a cast? The bone is not stapled together." The nurse's best ?response is: ?A. ?"The cast acts like staples by holding the bone ends together. The new bone that forms ????is weaker than the old bone." ?B. ?"The fracture causes bleeding which then stops due to clotting. The clot forms a mesh ????which attracts bone-forming cells. New bone fills in the broken bone site and the new ????bone is as strong as the old bone." ?C. ?"There is an increase in osteoclasts or new bone cells being absorbed into the bone. ????This acts as a glue and fills in the fracture. Eventually the osteoclasts turn into ?????osteoblasts and new bone is formed." ?D. ?"There is an increase in osteoclasts being absorbed into the bone. Eventually the ?????osteoclasts turn into osteoblasts. At this point ossification occurs and unites the ?????fractured ends."
