A client has a history of dislocations of the same joint. The nurse understands that this is most likely due to an insufficient deposit of collagen during the healing process leading to which of the following?
A) Loss of function
B) Allergic reaction
C) Lack of mobility
D) Reduced tensile strength
D
Feedback:
A possible complication of dislocation during the healing process involves an insufficient deposit of collagen during the repair stage. The end result is that the ligaments may have reduced tensile strength and future instability, leading to recurrent dislocations of the same joint. An insufficient deposit of collagen does not lead to a loss of function necessarily, allergic reaction, or a complete lack of mobility.

In which way is the independent variable handled differently in a study with a true experimental design compared with a study with a quasi-experimental design?
a. An experimental design requires an independent variable, whereas a quasi-experimental design neither identifies nor requires an independent variable. b. Although both designs identify an independent variable, the nature of the groups (randomized versus nonrandomized) means that manipulation may result in different results. c. Experimental designs demonstrate that the independent variable is related to the outcome, and quasi-experimental studies allow for independent variables that stand alone. d. Although both designs identify an independent variable, experimental designs identify it before the research is initiated, whereas quasi-experimental designs identify it after the data are analyzed.
