Chapter 14: Musculoskeletal system
(Wilson & Giddens, Powerpoint)
The nurse is trying to assess a patient's risk of osteoporosis. The nurse knows
that the following groups have the highest incidence of osteoporosis.


~Asian Females
~White males
~American Indian Males
~African American Males
~Postmenopausal Women
~Patients who've had a fracture in the past - correct answer ✔Answer:
~Asian Females
~Postmenopausal Women
~Patients who've had a fracture in the past


Females and postmenopausal women are at higher risk because of hormonal
fluctuations. Fracture healing predisposes patients to osteoporosis if the bone
is a long bone. Men are usually not at risk for osteoporosis unless they have
had fractures or prolonged steroid use.


The nurse that is examining a patient with normal muscle strength would
document Grade __.


~0
~1
~3

,~5 - correct answer ✔Answer:
~5


Grade 5 is considered normal muscle strength. 0 indicates no evidence of
muscle contractility. 1 indicates slight contractility (about 10% of normal). 3 is
considered fair muscle strength (about 50% of normal).


The nurse is assessing a newborn and hears a click when the Barlow-Ortolani
maneuver is performed. What would this finding indicate?


~ an indication of Erb's Palsy
~ a possible indication of spinal bifida
~ an indication of congenital hip dislocation
~ a normal finding in the newborn - correct answer ✔Answer:
~an indication of congenital hip dislocation


Allis's sign is another assessment of hip location. Erb's palsy is manifested by
paralysis of the shoulder and upper arm muscles. Spina bifida is manifested
by a malformation of the spine. A click is indicative of a congenital problem.


The nurse is assessing a patient using a goniometer. What is this instrument
used for?


~Range of Motion
~Muscle Strength
~Joint symmetry
~Length of Extremity - correct answer ✔Answer:
~Range of Motion

, The goniometer can provide the degree of flexion and extension. Muscle
strength is tested by applying an opposing force against the muscles. A tape
measure is useful for joint symmetry technique. A tape measure is useful for
length of extremity technique.


The nurse is assessing a patient's muscle strength of the trapezius muscle.
The nurse will apply resisting force while the patient:


~shrugs her shoulders
~moves her jaw laterally
~flexes her elbow
~extends her knee - correct answer ✔Answer:
~shrugs her shoulders


This also tests the spinal accessory nerve (CN XI). The trapezius muscle is in
the shoulder.


Which statement regarding the comparison of the circumference between the
right and left extremities is true?


~measurements between the right and left sides should be identical
~measurement differences are less than 1 cm
~measurement differences are within 2 cm
~measurement differences are within 2 inches - correct answer ✔Answer:
~measurement differences are less than 1 cm
