Questions and Verified Answers |
Already Graded A+
Define mobility - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔purposeful physical movement (gross, fine,
coordination). Depends on musculoskeletal and nervous systems. "state or
quality of being mobile or movable."
Define immobility - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the inability to move
Impaired physical mobility - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔describes a state in which a
person has a limitation in physical movement but is not immobile.
define deconditioned - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔In the context of health care, this
term applies to patients who experience extended immobility, a loss of
physical fitness
,Disuse syndrome - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Describes the predictable adverse
effects on the body tissues and functions associated with sedentary
lifestyle and inactivity
What does the frontal lobe of the brain do in mobility? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔voluntary motor activity
What does the cerebellum do in mobility? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔coordinates
movement, equilibrium, muscle ton, and proprioception
Diagnostic tests for mobility - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔X ray: bones, fractures
Computed tomography: soft tissue and bony abnormalities
MRI: soft tissue, vertebral disk, tumors, ligaments, and cartilage
Myelogram: spinal cord and nerve root w/ contrast dye, back pain
Arthrography (arthrogram): joints w/ radiopaque substance to look at
bones, cartilage, and ligaments
Bone material density: osteoporosis and osteopenia
Bone scan: metastic bone cancer, unexplained bone pain, bone uptake of
radionuclide material
,Other diagnostic tests for mobility - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Arthroscopy,
electromyography (electrical activity generated within the muscle), blood
tests, analysis of joint fluid, biopsy
Primary prevention of mobility impairment - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Regular
physical activity, nutrition (calcium, protein, fall prevention (older), safe
environment, optimizing vision
Secondary prevention (screening) mobility - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Osteoporosis
(dexa scan for women 65+)
mobility: timed get up and go test (measures mobility of people able to walk
on their own), Performance oriented mobility assessment test (identification
of gait and balance impairments), and Greenville Early mobility scale
(inpatient to track progress)
Nursing care of immobilized pt.s - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔positioning, turning,
continuous lateral rotation therapy (CLRT), range-of-motion exercise, head
elevation, tilt table, chair position, dangling, and ambulation.
Coughing and deep breathing: stasis pneumonia
ROM fexion and extension: DVT
reduce bone demineralization by weight bearing

, Active v. Passive ROM - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Active is ROM performed by the pt
Passive ROM is when the nurse takes the affect joint through the ROM
Exercise therapy - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Cornerstone intervention for mobility
impairment, rehabilitative or preventive
Exercise Therapy: Ambulation,
Exercise Therapy: Joint Mobility,
Exercise Therapy: Stretching, and
Exercise Therapy: Balance.
Open fracture - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Skin is broken and the bone is exposed
Closed fracture - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The bone is broken and the skin is intact
incomplete fracture - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the fracture doesn't go through the
bone shaft
Complete fracture - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the break goes completely through the
bone
Transverse fracture - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔the line of the fracture extends across
the bond shaft at a right angle to the longitudinal axis
