The answer is the second one (or B): Closed fracture.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Open fracture: This type of fracture involves a break in the bone that also breaks through the skin, creating an open wound. Since the question states that the skin is intact, this option is incorrect.
  2. Closed fracture: This type of fracture involves a break in the bone without any puncture or open wound in the skin. Given that the skin is intact and the x-ray indicates a fractured tibia, this is the correct diagnosis.
  3. Incomplete fracture: This type of fracture means that the bone is not completely broken into two or more pieces. The question does not provide enough information to suggest that the fracture is incomplete, so this option is less likely.
  4. Comminuted fracture: This type of fracture involves the bone being broken into several pieces. The question does not specify that the bone is shattered into multiple pieces, so this option is also less likely.

Summary: The nurse would anticipate a diagnosis of a closed fracture when a patient reports severe leg pain secondary to a fall, the skin is intact, and an x-ray indicates a fractured tibia.
