Answer: B - The most common sign or symptom with fracture is pain. When a patient fractures a bone it may, or may not, present with deformity, discoloration or swelling. Pain will be common to almost all patients with fractures, regardless of location. Some patients will have obvious deformity or dislocation and not appear to be in pain. This can be because of intoxication or psychogenic shock.
