NUR 155 EXAM 3 | ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 100% ACCURATE.

Framework for movement - Musculoskeletal system

Controls movement, posture, balance, and gait - Nervous system

Circulates oxygen and nutrients - Cardiopulmonary system

Altered musculoskeletal system - - Bone fragility
- Flaccidity or hypotonicity

Altered nervous system - - Hemiparesis
- Hemiplegia
- Paraplegia
- Quadriplegia

Altered cardiopulmonary system - - Compromised cardiac function
- Decreased tissue perfusion
- Diminished respiratory capacity

Effects of immobility on musculoskeletal system - - Weakness
- Decreased muscle tone
- Decreased bone and muscle mass
- Muscle atrophy wasting
- Contracture

Effects of immobility on nervous system - Proprioception and equilibrium can be altered

Effects of immobility on cardiopulmonary system - - Cardiac workload is increased
- Lung expansion is decreased
- Circulatory stasis occurs
- Pooled blood combined with weakened calf muscles can lead to deep vein thrombosis
(DVT)
- Activity intolerance may develop

Effects of immobility on nutrition - - Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is reduced
- Catabolism of protein leads to a negative nitrogen balance if dietary protein is
insufficient
- Continued immobility may lead to anorexia and nausea

,Effects of immobility on elimination - - Urinary stasis may develop, and may result in
UTIs and renal calculus
- Hypomotility of the GI tract may result

Effects of immobility on skin - - Pressure on bony prominences can cause tissue
ischemia
- Prolonged tissue ischemia may lead to necrosis
- Pressure injuries may develop

Effects of immobility on psychosocial impact - - Isolation and sensory deprivation may
result
- Self-concept may be altered
- Sleep and rest patterns may be disturbed

Musculoskeletal and nervous system interventions - - Early ambulating
- Isotonic exercise
- Isometric exercise
- Aerobic exercise
- Anaerobic exercise
- Active or passive range of motion exercises
- Pain assessment and treatment

Isotonic exercise - Active movement with constant muscle contraction (walking)

Isometric exercise - Tensing a muscle and holding it for a short time, followed by
complete relaxation of the muscle (kegel exercises)

Aerobic exercise - Have oxygen metabolism to give us energy, constant moving

Anaerobic exercise - Intense physical activity that requires little oxygen but uses short
bursts of energy (lifting weights)

Positioning devices - - Pillow
- Splints and braces
- Handrolls

Trochanter rolls - Rolled towel support placed against the hips and upper leg to prevent
external rotation of the legs while laying supine

Log roll - Method used to turn a patient with a spinal injury, in which the patient is
moved to the side in one motion

Mechanical lift - - Preferred transfer method
- Some can be used for ambulating

Steps to use mechanical lift - - Place pt in harness

, - Lift pt until feet are just touching the ground
- Pt walks holding onto lift device
- Lift supports pt weight

Lift equipment - - Maximizes patient assistance
- Drastically reduces injuries to nurses
