Your client has been wearing a leg cast for the past month to immobilize her fractured tibia. She is being seen for a follow-up x-ray of the fracture. The physician tells her she is hoping for good callus formation to have occurred. The nurse knows callus formation is: a. when blood vessels of the bone are compressed.b. a part of the bone healing process after a fracture when new bone is being formed over the fracture site.c. the formation of a clot over the fracture site.d. when the hematoma becomes organized and a fibrin meshwork is formed.
