Which of the following is the primary cause of osteomyelitis?
Bacterial infection
Vitamin D deficiency
Bone fracture
Autoimmune response
The correct answer is bacterial infection. Osteomyelitis is primarily caused by bacterial infection of the bone. While trauma, surgery, or underlying medical conditions can increase the risk of developing osteomyelitis, they are not the primary cause. Bacteria, most commonly Staphylococcus aureus, enter the bone through various routes such as the bloodstream, direct inoculation, or spread from nearby soft tissue infections. Understanding the primary cause is crucial for emergency nurses to recognize risk factors, initiate appropriate diagnostic measures, and begin timely treatment to prevent complications.
