10 Questions • 14.7% of Exam • Covers concepts related to body positioning, mobility aids, and the impact of exercise on the body.
QUESTION 1
4 Things to Know About Body and Mobility Changes in the Patient
Answer: 1. Encourage self-care behaviors
2. Sensitivity to feelings about body and mobility
3. Be supportive and expect frustration
4. Encourage patient to correct behavior that may worsen progress.
Rationale: These four points are essential to know when dealing with patients experiencing body and mobility changes because they
acknowledge the emotional and psychological impact of these changes on the individual, while also promoting a supportive and
empowering approach to care.
By doing so, healthcare providers can foster a positive and non-judgmental environment that encourages patients to take an active role
in their recovery and adapt to their new circumstances.

QUESTION 2
4 Things to Know When Getting Mobility & Exercise History
Answer: 1. Endurance
2. Mobility issues
3. ADLs
4. Mental health mobility issue causing.
Rationale: When taking a mobility and exercise history, it's essential to consider a patient's endurance, as it affects their ability to
perform physical activities, and mobility issues, which can impact their daily functioning. Additionally, understanding a patient's ADLs
(activities of daily
living) and any mental health factors that may influence their mobility is crucial to develop an effective exercise plan that addresses
their unique needs and limitations.
QUESTION 3
4 Patient Positions to Relieve Pressure
Answer: 1. Lateral (side lying)
2. Fowlers
3. Prone
4. Supine.
Rationale: These four positions allow for optimal pressure redistribution and relief by alternating the areas of the body that bear
weight, thereby reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. By rotating through side lying, semi-upright, prone, and supine positions,
healthcare providers can ensure that no single area of the body is subjected to prolonged pressure, promoting healthy tissue perfusion
and wound prevention.
QUESTION 4
Steps for Getting OOB for the 1st Time
Answer: 1. Assist from lying to sitting with dangle
2. Determine strength and readiness of patient to stand
3. Determine assistance needed-do not assume
4. Assess for numbness, tingling, dizziness, lightheaded
5. Teach patient to keep head up and eyes forward.
Rationale: The correct steps for getting a patient out of bed (OOB) for the first time prioritize patient safety and assessment, ensuring
the patient's readiness and ability to stand without assuming their capabilities. By following these steps, healthcare providers can
minimize the risk of falls, injuries, and other adverse events, while also promoting patient autonomy and confidence.
