Proper body alignment/mechanics
ANSWER = Correct body alignment reduces strain on the skeleton, maintains adequate muscle tone,
,promotes comfort, contributes to balance and conservation of energy. Without balance control, the
center of gravity is displaced.
Body alignment standing
ANSWER = • Head: erect, midline
• Body: symmetrical
• Shoulders and hips: straight and parallel
• Spine: straight with normal curvatures
• Abdomen: tucked
• Knees: slightly flexed
• Feet: pointed forward and slightly apart
• Arms: at sides
Body alignment sitting
ANSWER = • Head: erect
• Neck and vertebral column: in straight alignment
• Body weight: distributed on buttocks and thighs
• Thighs: parallel and in a horizontal plane
• Feet: supported on the floor
• Forearms: supported on the armrest, in the lap, or on a table in front of the chair
Body alignment/Posture
ANSWER = • Relationship of one body part to another along a vertical or horizontal line
• Involves positioning so no excessive strain is placed on a person's joints, tendons, ligaments, or
muscles, thereby maintaining adequate muscle tone and contributing to balance
• Proper balance, posture, and body alignment reduce the risk of injury to the musculoskeletal system
and facilitate body movements, allowing physical mobility without muscle strain and excessive use of
muscle energy.
Body alignment is used for:
ANSWER = Determining normal physical changes
Identifying deviations in body alignment
Patient awareness of posture
Identifying postural learning needs of patients
Identifying trauma, muscle damage, or nerve dysfunction
Obtaining information on incorrect alignment (i.e., fatigue, malnutrition, psychological problems)
Know the steps in performing ROM exercises
**ANSWER = • Consider if active ROM exercises are appropriate
• Assess the patient's ability to engage in active ROM exercises
1. Identify patient
, 2. Review patient's chart for physical assessment findings that could affect the performance of
ROM exercises
3. Obtain data on patient's baseline joint function
4. Determine patient's or family caregiver's readiness to learn
5. Assess patient's level of comfort (maybe use pain meds)
6. Hand hygiene
7. Help patient to a comfortable position, preferably sitting or lying down.**
4o mini
8. When performing passive ROM exercises support joint by holding distal part of extremity or using
cupped hand to support joint
9. Complete head-to-toe sequence. Repeat each movement 5 times during exercise period.
safety steps for the nurse and the patient when positioning
ANSWER = • Determine the amount and type of assistance required for safe positioning, including other
equipment or people
- When working with a patient in bed, raise the bed up to an appropriate height so not to strain your
back while helping the patient.
• Raise the side rail on the side of the bed opposite of where you are standing
• Arrange equipment (e.g., intravenous lines, feeding tube, indwelling catheter) so it does not interfere
with the positioning process.
• Evaluate the patient for correct body alignment and pressure risks after repositioning
- Assess the mobility of the patient when positioning.
