1. Immobility gastrointestinal: Slow Peristalsis, constipation, paralytic Illeus
2. Assessment after a fall: Neurovascular check, call for help, notify physician, notify family
3. Cast care: don't cover until dry, handle with palms of hands, don't rest on hard surfaces, keep above level of
heart, check pulses, color , sensation. Complication of cast is numbness, tingling, no pulses, bluish color of the skin
4. closed fracture: broken bone with no open wound
5. open fracture: one in which the bone is broken and there is an open wound in the skin
6. transverse fracture: occurs straight across the bone- caused by pressure from top and bottom
7. spiral fracture: a fracture in which the bone has been twisted apart
8. comminuted fracture: fracture in which the bone is splintered or crushed
9. impacted fracture: fracture in which bone fragments are pushed into each other
10. greenstick fracture: one in which the bone is bent and only partially broken
11. oblique fracture: Fracture that involves a separation from the two affected bones
12. Crepitus: a crackling or grating sound usually of bones
13. Osteoarthritis: Loss of articular cartilage in the joint
14. DVT: deep vein thrombosis- Prevention is prophylactic treatment with Lovenox, Ted hose, SCD's (sequential
compression devices), foot pumps
15. SCDs: sequential compression devices
16. Promotion of Independence: Allow patient to do as much Active range of motion/ encourage
independent activity as possible
17. benefits of activity: Improved CV and Respiratory health
--Decreased rates in CV disease
Improved strength and mobility
Maintenance of Bone Density
Maintenance of Healthy Weight and Metabolism
Improved
Psychosocial Health
18. posture: Position of the body in relation to the surrounding space
19. Immobility - Musculoskeletal: loss of 7-10% muscle strength per week, foot drop, osteoporosis,
decreased stability.
20. Immobility of the Genitourinary System: Urinary Stasis / Retention
UTI
Renal Calculi

21. Immobility: Respiratory: decrease all muscle strengths including lungs, increases secretion, decreased
ventilation, decrease respiratory depth, air passage blockage can lead to atelectasis.
22. Immobility of the Integumentary System: - Pressure
- Shearing
- Bony prominences
- Pressure ulcers
-external pressure leads to compressed capillaries in the skin. Leads to tissue ischemia and eventual necrosis.
23. Normal Vital Signs: systolic: 90-120 (120) diastolic: systolic 60-80 (80), 12-20 respiration, 60-100 bpm,
96-99F
24. Home Safety (Infant): Risk for poisoning, carbon monoxide, burns, drowning, suffocation/ smother is
the leading cause of death by suffocation in infants.
25. never events: Serious but preventable errors that should never occur
26. Fall prevention: screenings, elements of focused history, physical examination, functional assessment.
adaption of the environment, minimization of psychoactive medications, management of foot problems and footwear,
exercise that emphasize balance, strength and gait training.
27. Fall Risk: Most reported- high risk is poor vision, cognitively impaired, weak, dizzy, drowsy. Morse Fall Risk/
Scale- lower the number the less the risk of falling. Handrails in bathrooms, ramp instead of stairs, wear rubber sole
shoes, avoid scatter rugs, prevent clutter, avoid slippery floors.
28. Therapeutic communication: Verbal and nonverbal communication techniques that encourage pa-
tients to express their feelings and to achieve a positive relationship.
29. importance of culture to health: Culture is related to health behaviors
Culture is an important determinant of people's perceptions of illness
Culture affects usage of health services
Different cultures have different health practices
30. Culture terminology: Socially transmitted behaviors, arts, beliefs, values, customs, lifeways and other
characteristics that guide decision making. Ethnicity: Member share a common social & cultural heritage.
31. Socialization: the learning of a culture and its values
32. Acculturation: the adoption of the behavior patterns of the surrounding culture
33. Assimilation: the social process of absorbing one cultural group into harmony with another
34. stereotype: a generalized (sometimes accurate but often overgeneralized) belief about a group of people
35. Archetype: a very typical example of a certain person or thing (all mexicans have brown eyes)
