NR 304 Exam 2 Questions With Complete Solutions
abnormal gaits (KNOW) correct answers spastic hemiparesis
(see photo), parkinson's, foot drop
abnormalities affecting multiple joints correct answers
inflammatory (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis)
degenerative (osteoarthritis, osteoporosis)
abnormalities in muscle movement (KNOW) correct answers
paralysis, tics, seizure disorder, tremor, rest tremor, intention
tremor
abnormalities in muscle tone correct answers flaccidity
spasticity
rigidity
cogwheel rigidity
abnormalities of ankle/foot correct answers achilles
tenosynosynovitis, chronic/acute gout, hallux vagus with bunion
and hammer toes, callus, plantar wart, ingrown toenail
abnormalities of spine correct answers scoliosis, herniated
nucleus pulposus (aka "herniated disc," test with straight leg
raising)
abnormalities of the elbow correct answers olecranon bursitis,
gouty arthritis, subcutaneous nodules, epicondylitis (tennis
elbow)
,abnormalities of the knee correct answers mild synovitis,
prepatellar bursitis, swelling of menisci, post polio, osgood-
schlatter disease, chondromalacia patellae
abnormalities of the shoulder correct answers atrophy,
dislocation, joint effusion, tear of rotator cuff, frozen shoulder,
adhesive capsulitis, subacromial bursitis
abnormalities of the wrist/hand correct answers ganglion cyst,
colles' fracture, carpal tunnel syndrome, ankylosis, dupuytren's
contracture
conditions caused by chronic rheumatoid arthritis:
swan neck and boutonniere deformities, ulnar deviation or drift,
degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis), acute rheumatoid
arthritis, syndactyly, polydactyly
achilles reflex (ankle jerk) correct answers position pt. w/ knee
flexed, hold foot in dorsiflexion and strike achilles tendon
directly
normally foot plantar flexes against your hand
aging adult and neurologic system correct answers decreased
muscle strength, impaired fine coordination/agility, loss of
vibratory sense at ankle, decreased/absent Achilles reflex,
pupillary miosis, irregular pupil shape, decreased pupillary
reflexes, decreased velocity of nerve conduction (slow reaction
time), increased delay at synapse (decreased sensation touch,
pain, taste, smell), motor system delay (slowing down of
movement, muscle strength, agility decreases), progressive
, decrease in cerebral blood flow and O2 consumption may cause
dizziness and loss of balance
there is a lot here, but it's more a review than anything
aging adults and musculoskeletal stuff correct answers in bone
remodeling after 40 resorption occurs more rapidly than
depression
kyphosis, backward head tilt, slight flexion of hips/knees
decrease in height, especially in 8th and 9th decades
they look up a lot and don't see what's on the floor (safety!)
Allis test correct answers infants, hip dislocation
anosmia correct answers loss of sense of smelll
At what temperature are children at risk for seizures? correct
answers 104F
autonomic nervous system (ANS) correct answers mediates
unconscious activity
carry fibers divided into two parts:
-somatic fibers innervate skeletal (voluntary) muscles
-autonomic fibers innervate smooth (involuntary) muscles,
cardiac muscle, and glands
