NUR 155 Exam 3 Questions with 100% Correct
Answers
Framework for movement Correct Answer:
Musculoskeletal system
Controls movement, posture, balance, and gait Correct
Answer: Nervous system
Circulates oxygen and nutrients Correct Answer:
Cardiopulmonary system
Altered musculoskeletal system Correct Answer: - Bone
fragility
- Flaccidity or hypotonicity
Altered nervous system Correct Answer: - Hemiparesis
- Hemiplegia
- Paraplegia
- Quadriplegia
Altered cardiopulmonary system Correct Answer: -
Compromised cardiac function
,- Decreased tissue perfusion
- Diminished respiratory capacity
Effects of immobility on musculoskeletal system Correct
Answer: - Weakness
- Decreased muscle tone
- Decreased bone and muscle mass
- Muscle atrophy wasting
- Contracture
Effects of immobility on nervous system Correct Answer:
Proprioception and equilibrium can be altered
Effects of immobility on cardiopulmonary system Correct
Answer: - 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 Answer: - 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 Answer: -
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 Answer: - 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
Answer: - Isolation and sensory deprivation may result
, - Self-concept may be altered
- Sleep and rest patterns may be disturbed
Musculoskeletal and nervous system interventions
Correct Answer: - Early ambulating
- Isotonic exercise
- Isometric exercise
- Aerobic exercise
- Anaerobic exercise
- Active or passive range of motion exercises
- Pain assessment and treatment
Isotonic exercise Correct Answer: Active movement with
constant muscle contraction (walking)
Isometric exercise Correct Answer: Tensing a muscle and
holding it for a short time, followed by complete
relaxation of the muscle (kegel exercises)
