reversible
foot drop --- correct answer ---plantar flexion- can be permanent
bone loss --- correct answer ---inactivity can effect bone- lose mass
and density due to the loss of calcium- hypercalcemia
,chemical restraints are standard treatment --- correct answer ---F,
it is not standard treatment it is in addition to the primary care-
sometimes orders are anticipated
edema --- correct answer ---swelling caused by fluid retention,
requires elevation, the supine position inc the thoracic blood

supinely- they have dec lung expansion due to possible atelectasis-
incentive spiromete can help re-expand the lungs, also do not want
,them performing a valsalva maneuver- pts with cardiac condition

breakdown, immobility dec appetite- dec protein intake- body still
breaks down amino acids for fuel- body excretes more nitrogen-
this results in weight loss
promotion of normal elimination --- correct answer ---P (position-

very virulent, refers to the strength/potency of the bug, virulence is
