Correct Answers
Framework for movement CORRECT
ANSWERSMusculoskeletal system
Controls movement, posture, balance, and gait CORRECT
ANSWERSNervous system
Circulates oxygen and nutrients CORRECT
ANSWERSCardiopulmonary system
Altered musculoskeletal system CORRECT ANSWERS- Bone
fragility
- Flaccidity or hypotonicity
Altered nervous system CORRECT ANSWERS- Hemiparesis
- Hemiplegia
- Paraplegia
- Quadriplegia
,Altered cardiopulmonary system CORRECT ANSWERS-
Compromised cardiac function
- Decreased tissue perfusion
- Diminished respiratory capacity
Effects of immobility on musculoskeletal system CORRECT
ANSWERS- Weakness
- Decreased muscle tone
- Decreased bone and muscle mass
- Muscle atrophy wasting
- Contracture
Effects of immobility on nervous system CORRECT
ANSWERSProprioception and equilibrium can be altered
Effects of immobility on cardiopulmonary system CORRECT
ANSWERS- 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 CORRECT ANSWERS-
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 CORRECT ANSWERS-
Urinary stasis may develop, and may result in UTIs and renal
calculus
- Hypomotility of the GI tract may result
Effects of immobility on skin CORRECT ANSWERS- 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 CORRECT
ANSWERS- Isolation and sensory deprivation may result
- Self-concept may be altered
- Sleep and rest patterns may be disturbed
, Musculoskeletal and nervous system interventions CORRECT
ANSWERS- Early ambulating
- Isotonic exercise
- Isometric exercise
- Aerobic exercise
- Anaerobic exercise
- Active or passive range of motion exercises
- Pain assessment and treatment
Isotonic exercise CORRECT ANSWERSActive movement with
constant muscle contraction (walking)
Isometric exercise CORRECT ANSWERSTensing a muscle and
holding it for a short time, followed by complete relaxation of
the muscle (kegel exercises)
Aerobic exercise CORRECT ANSWERSHave oxygen
metabolism to give us energy, constant moving
Anaerobic exercise CORRECT ANSWERSIntense physical
activity that requires little oxygen but uses short bursts of energy
(lifting weights)
