,A 42-year-old male patient complains of shoulder pain when the nursemoves his arm behind the
back. Which question should the nurse ask?
Are you able to feed yourself without difficulty?
Do you have difficulty when you are putting on a shirt?
Are you able to sleep through the night without waking?
Do you ever have trouble lowering yourself to the toilet?: b. Do you havedifficulty when you are
putting on a shirt?
The patients pain will make it more difficult to accomplish tasks like putting on a shirtor jacket. This pain
should not affect the patients ability to feed himself or use the toilet because these tasks do not involve
moving the arm behind the patient. The arm will not usually be positioned behind the patient during
sleeping.
A patient with left knee pain is diagnosed with bursitis.The nurse will explainthat bursitis is an
inflammation of
the synovial membrane that lines the joint.
a small, fluid-filled sac found at some joints.
the fibrocartilage that acts as a shock absorber in the knee joint.
any connective tissue that is found supporting the joints of the body.: b. asmall, fluid-filled sac found
at some joints.
Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints and bony prominences. Fibrocartilageis a solid tissue that
cushions some joints. Bursae are a specific type of connectivetissue. The synovial membrane lines many
joints but is not a bursa.
The nurse who notes that a 59-year-old female patient has lost 1 inch inheight over the past 2 year
will plan to teach the patient about
discography studies.
myelographic testing.
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).: d. dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry(DXA).
,The decreased height and the patients age suggest that the patient may have osteo-porosis and that bone
density testing is needed. Discography, MRI, and myelographyare typically done for patients with current
symptoms caused by musculoskeletal dysfunction and are not the initial diagnostic tests for osteoporosis.
Which information in a 67-year-old womans health history will alert thenurse to the need for a
more focused assessment of the musculoskeletalsystem?
The patient sprained her ankle at age 13.
, The patients mother became shorter with aging.
The patient takes ibuprofen (Advil) for occasional headaches.
The patients father died of complications of miliary tuberculosis.: b. Thepatients mother became
shorter with aging.
A family history of height loss with aging may indicate osteoporosis, and the nurseshould perform a more
thorough assessment of the patients current height and otherrisk factors for osteoporosis. A sprained ankle
during adolescence does not place the patient at increased current risk for musculoskeletal problems. A
family historyof tuberculosis is not a risk factor. Occasional nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID
use does not indicate any increased musculoskeletal risk.
Which information obtained during the nurses assessment of a 30-year-oldpatients nutritional-
metabolic pattern may indicate the risk for musculoskele-tal problems?
The patient takes a multivitamin daily.
The patient dislikes fruits and vegetables.
The patient is 5 ft 2 in and weighs 180 lb.
The patient prefers whole milk to nonfat milk.: c. The patient is 5 ft 2 in andweighs 180 lb.
The patients height and weight indicate obesity, which places stress on weight-bear-ing joints. The use of
whole milk, avoiding fruits and vegetables, and use of a dailymultivitamin are not risk factors for
musculoskeletal problems.
Which medication information will the nurse identify as a concern for apatients musculoskeletal
status?
The patient takes a daily multivitamin and calcium supplement.
The patient takes hormone therapy (HT) to prevent hot flashes.
The patient has severe asthma and requires frequent therapy with oralcorticosteroids.
The patient has migraine headaches treated with nonsteroidal antiinflam- matory drugs
(NSAIDs).: c. The patient has severe asthma and requires frequenttherapy with oral corticosteroids.
