indication of contractures and should be reported immediately. As you perform each test, observe the patien
for signs of swelling or inflammation in any of the joints.

ROM assessment - ✔✔ANS observation, AROM/PROM, compare uninvolved side, goniometri
measurements
Active Range of Motion (AROM) - ✔✔ANS the process whereby a patient puts a joint through its full exten
of movement
Passive Range of Motion (PROM) - ✔✔ANS the process of putting a joint through its full extent of movemen
by someone other than the patient
Gait - ✔✔ANS a manner of walking, stepping, or running
monitor the speed, stride and balance.
Respiratory System Interventions and Assessments - ✔✔ANS Perform a respiratory assessment at leas
every 2 hours for patients with restricted activity. Inspect chest wall movements during the full inspiratory
