NUR2180 2026 COMPREHENSIVE STUDY
GUIDE PRACTICE SET
◉ Assessment of lordosis Answer: see if the clients stomach and
abdomen is more pronounced when standing up, sticking the belly
out
◉ Explain resistance and range of motion when assessing
extremeties Answer: Clients may have resistance when they are in
pain or have a joint disease, crepitus.
Muscle strength is usually tested by having resistance by pushing up
and having the client push as well with all arms, elbows, wrists, feet,
knees and legs.Motion can be active or passive
◉ Grading Scale for muscle strength testing Answer: 5/5= full
motion against gravity and resistance
4/5=full motion against gravity, some resistance
3/5= full range of motion with gravity
2/5= full range of motion with gravity using passive motion
1/5= slight contractions
0/5=no contraction
, ◉ 5/5 grading scale Answer: full motion against gravity and
resistance
◉ 4/5 grading scale Answer: full motion against gravity, some
resistance
◉ 3/5 grading scale Answer: full range of motion with gravity
◉ 2/5 grading scale Answer: full range of motion with gravity using
passive motion
◉ 1/5 grading scale Answer: slight contractions
◉ 0/5 grading scale Answer: no contraction
◉ Adduction Answer: movement toward the midline
◉ Abduction Answer: movement away from the midline
◉ Eversion Answer: turning the sole of the foot outward
◉ Circumduction Answer: moving the arm in a circle around the
shoulder
