Name three purposes of the skeletal system. - Answer-Forms the framework of the
body
Protects the internal organs
Produces red blood cells
Serves as a storage site for calcium
Works with the muscles to cause movement
/.moving away from midline - Answer-Abduction
/.Moving toward the midline - Answer-Adduction
/.Bending, decreasing the joint angle - Answer-Flexion
/.Straightening, increasing the joint angle - Answer-Extension
/.moving in a circular fashion - Answer-Cirumduction
involves muscle contraction without motion; effective for developing total strength of a
particular muscle or group of muscles; used for rehabilitation because the exact area of
muscle weakness can be isolated and strengthening can be administered at the proper
joint angle. This kind of training requires no special equipment, and there is little chance
of injury. Immobile patients can use this form of exercise to maintain or regain muscle
strength. - Answer-Isometric exercise
/.involves movement of the joint during the muscle contraction. A classic example of this
exercise is weight training with free weights. - Answer-Isotonic exercise
/.A patient is restrained at the wrists. At intervals, she is flexing her arm, pulling against
the restraint tied to the bed. Technically, what type of exercise is this?
A. Aerobic
B. Isotonic
C. Isometric
, D. Anaerobic - Answer-C. Isometric
Isometric exercises involve muscle contraction without motion. They are usually
performed against an immovable surface or object—for example, pressing the hand
against a wall, or pulling the wrist against a secured restraint.
/.In addition to proper positioning, which of the following would be an important nursing
measure for a patient who is immobile?
A. Encouraging a low-calcium diet to prevent kidney stones
B. Limiting fluid intake so she does not have to use the bedpan as frequently
C. Encouraging the patient to lie still so he does not cause a blood clot to become
dislodged
D. Performing a skin assessment to dependent areas at least once every shift - Answer-
D. Performing a skin assessment to dependent areas at least once every shift
An immobile patient is at risk for pressure-related injury to the skin, especially from the
patient is incontinent or diaphoretic. Frailty (bony prominences) also increases the risk
for pressure injury. Therefore, a skin assessment at least once a shift is important for
the early detection of decubitus. Other responses are incorrect. A diet low in calcium will
not prevent kidney stones; kidney stones develop only in susceptible people, regardless
of calcium intake. Limiting the fluid intake will place the patient at risk for a urinary tract
infection. Keeping extremities still will lead to increased venous pooling and risk for the
development of blood clots.
/.In the human body, the _____?_____ is below the umbilicus at the top of the pelvis.
The feet provide the base of support. - Answer-center of gravity
/.____?____ is the degree of maximum movement at a joint. - Answer-Range of motion
(ROM)
/._____?____ range of motion is when the patient independently moves his joints
through flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circular rotation. - Answer-Active
/.____?____ range of motion is performed by another person when the patient is unable
to do so for himself. - Answer-Passive
/.Factors that influence activity and exercise level include: (6) - Answer-developmental
stage
health concerns
nutrition
lifestyle
attitudes
external factors.
