An x-ray of an injured client’s leg reveals a comminuted fracture of the distal tibia. The nurse correctly informs the client that a comminuted fracture means that:
1. A portion of the bone is split away.
2. One bone end is driven into the other.
3. The bone is splintered into pieces.
4. There is no open break in the skin.
