•For a bed-bound patient, ROM exercises should be performed two or three times per day to
ensure that joints do not become contracted. If the patient experiences stiffness or an inability
to move a joint, it may be an indication of contractures and should be reported immediately.
As you perform each test, observe the patient for signs of swelling or inflammation in any of
the joints.
Range of motion (ROM) - CORRECT ANSWER- Maximum amount of movement of a joint
Active Range of Motion (AROM) - CORRECT ANSWER- the process whereby a patient
puts a joint through its full extent of movement

through its full extent of movement by someone other than the patient
Gait - CORRECT ANSWER- a manner of walking, stepping, or running

Respiratory System Interventions and Assessments - CORRECT ANSWER- Perform a
respiratory assessment at least every 2 hours for patients with restricted activity. Inspect chest
wall movements during the full inspiratory-expiratory cycle. If a patient has an atelectatic
area, chest movement is often asymmetrical. Auscultate the entire lung region to identify
diminished breath sounds, crackles, or wheezes. Focus auscultation on the dependent lung
fields because pulmonary secretions tend to collect in these lower regions. Assessment
findings that indicate pneumonia include productive cough with greenish yellow sputum;
fever; pain on breathing; and crackles, wheezes, and dyspnea.
