NURS 315 Mobility – Questions And Correct Answers
How many bones are in the human skeleton? Right Ans - 206
Axial skeleton Right Ans - ribs, sternum, vertebral column, and skull
Appendicular skeletons Right Ans - pectoral girdles, upper limbs, pelvic
girdle, and lower limbs
Function of bone? Right Ans - -forming bone structure
-supporting soft tissue
-protecting vital organs
-providing point of attachment for muscles
-storing minerals
-forming blood cells
Ligaments Right Ans - connect bones to other bones to form a joint
Tendons Right Ans - connect bones to muscles and carry the contractile
forces from the muscle to the bone to cause movement
Cartilage Right Ans - type of flexible connective tissue food throughout the
body
Strain Right Ans - a stretching or tearing of a muscle or tendon
Range of motion (ROM) Right Ans - measurement of movement around a
joint, is a key component of mobility
5 P's of neurovascular assessment Right Ans - Pain
Pulse
Pallor
Paresthesia (lack of sensation, tingling/numbness)
Paralysis
Range of motion exercises Right Ans - passive exercises that help the
patient maintain joint mobility during periods of restrictive physical activity
, Resistance exercises Right Ans - active exercises in which the patient
works against resistance to increase muscle strength
Isometric exercises Right Ans - active exercises used to maintain strength
when the joint is immobilized
Ambulation Right Ans - the ability to walk from place to place
independently with or without an assistive device
Kyphosis Right Ans - convex curvature
Lordosis Right Ans - concave curvature, swayback
Epiphyseal plate Right Ans - cartilage in between the epiphysis
Sarcomeres Right Ans - filaments made of actin or myosin
Resorption Right Ans - process by which bone is broken down and its
minerals released into the blood
Osteoblast Right Ans - cells that produce the matrix for bone formation
Bone resorption Right Ans - process by which bone is broken down and its
minerals released into the blood
Osteoclast Right Ans - cell that breaks down bone tissue
Discs Right Ans - -located between the vertebrae. Hold vertebrae together
-serve as shock absorbers
Sarcopenia Right Ans - muscle fibers decrease with age
Fractures Right Ans - a break in continuity of bone. common in children
and elderly
Primary risk factors of fractures? Right Ans - age, bone disorders, poor
nutrition
