NRSG Unit 6 test exam with guiding
revision question
National Patient Safety Goals - ANS Foster collaboration within the health care industry to
keep clients safe
Quality and Safety Education for Nurses - ANS Provide uniformity in core competencies
taught to nursing students
National Patient Safety Goals in Hospitals - ANS Identify patients correctly
Improve staff communication
Use medicine safely
Use alarms safely
Prevent infection
Identify patient safety risks
Prevent mistakes in surgery
What is physiology of movement and alignment - ANS Purposeful, coordinated movement
of the body and maintenance of alignment require the integrated functioning of the
musculoskeletal and nervous systems.
Categories of a physical assessment of mobility status - ANS General ease of movement
Gait and posture
Alignment
Joint structure and function
Muscle mass, tone, and strength
Endurance
Body Build
Height
Weight
Skin Integrity
Exercise Level
Rest and Sleep Patterns
Sexual Activity
Job Related Activity
Developmental Activity
Benefits of physical exercise for the Cardiovascular system - ANS increased efficiency of
the heart, decreased heart rate and BP, increased blood flow to all body parts, improved venous
return, increased circulating fibrinolysin
, Benefits of physical exercise for the Respiratory system - ANS improved alveolar
ventilation, decreased work of breathing, improved diaphragmatic excursion
Benefits of physical exercise for the GI system - ANS appetite is increased, intestinal tone is
increased, improvement of digestion and elimination, weight may be controlled
Benefits of physical exercise for the Urinary system - ANS improved blood flow to the
kidneys, allows kidneys to maintain the body's fluid balance and acid-base balance more
efficiently and excrete waste
Benefits of physical exercise for the Musculoskeletal system - ANS increased muscle
efficiency (strength) and flexibility, increased coordination, reduced bone loss, increased
efficiency of nerve impulse transmission
Benefits of physical exercise for the Metabolic system - ANS increased triglyceride
breakdown, increased gastric motility, increased production of body heat
Benefits of physical exercise for the Integument System - ANS increased circulation
nourishes the skin, promotes overall general health of the skin
Benefits of physical exercise for the Psychological Well-Being - ANS increased energy,
vitality, and general well-being, improved sleep, improved appearance (body image), improved
self-concept, increased positive health behaviors
Common medical conditions that cause alterations in mobility - ANS Hip dysplasia, clubfoot,
lordosis, scoliosis, kyphosis, achondroplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, vitamin D deficiency,
rickets, Paget disease, osteoporosis, muscular dystrophy, arthritis, sprain, dislocation, fracture,
strain, stroke, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis
Effects of immobility on the Cardiovascular system - ANS increased cardiac workload,
increased risk for orthostatic hypotension, increased risk for venous thrombosis
Effects of immobility on the Respiratory system - ANS decreased depth of respiration,
decreased rate of respiration, pooling of secretions, impaired gas exchange
Effects of immobility on the GI system - ANS disturbance in appetite, altered protein
metabolism, altered digestion and utilization of nutrients, decreased peristalsis
Effects of immobility on the Urinary system - ANS increased urinary stasis, increased risk
for renal calculi, decreased bladder muscle tone
Effects of immobility on the Musculoskeletal system - ANS decreased muscle
size/tone/strength, decreased joint mobility and flexibility, bone demineralization, decreased
endurance and stability, increased risk for contracture formation
