Physical Assessment Module 4 Quiz Study Guide
1.Understand the assessment of lesions. What are you looking for specifically when assessing lesions?
oColor, elevation, pattern or shape, size, location and distribution on body, any exudate: note color and odor, and use a woods light to detect fluorescing lesions. 2.Recognize the signs and symptoms of eczema
oDry, cracked, and itchy 3.Understand the stages of edema (1+ to 4+)
oEdema is an accumulation of fluid under the skin often seen in the lower extremities. There is pitting and non-pitting edema. Pitting edema is often
due to fluid and is indicated by indentations when pressure is applied to the skin. Depending on the degree of fluid, the indentation may be shallow or deep and last just a split second or a minute or more. Pitting edema is graded 1+ to 4
4.Review the differences between Scoliosis, Lordosis, and Kyphosis
oscoliosis refers to curvatures of the spine. Lordosis refers to the normal inward curvatures of the spine at the cervical and lumbar regions, while kyphosis refers to the normal outward curvature of the spine specifically at the thoracic region
5.Learn how to assess the resistance and range of motion when assessing extremities. Understand the scale used to assess these findings
oRange of motion (ROM) is the measurement of the amount of movement around a specific joint or body part.This study source was downloaded by 100000812856574 from CourseHero.com on 02-03-2022 00:07:55 GMT -06:00
