Mobility Exam (39 Questions) – Nursing Objective Assessment | Shadow Health | 2025/2026 | Vitals, ROM, Gait, IV, Skin

This document features 39 expertly completed objective exam questions and answers from the Shadow Health virtual simulation focused on patient mobility for the 2025/2026 academic year. It presents a full physical examination with clinical findings covering vital signs, musculoskeletal function, IV assessment, neurological screening, and integumentary evaluation—all organized to reflect standard head-to-toe nursing assessments. Included are detailed evaluations of: Vital signs: Normothermic temperature, normal O₂ saturation, stable heart and respiratory rates Orthostatic hypotension testing with confirmed systolic and diastolic drops IV management: Normal saline fluid, accurate labeling, functional IV pump, and intact IV insertion site Head and neck inspection: Symmetric facial features, normal eye function (PERRLA), dry lips and tongue Skin and lower extremity assessment: Presence of bruising, edema, warmth (especially left leg), and diminished peripheral pulses Muscle strength and ROM testing: Active movement limitations in hips and knees, reduced range of motion Neurological tests: Normal cognition (clock drawing, word recall), steady fine motor control Mobility evaluation: Gait irregularities including initiation hesitation, step discontinuity, path deviation, sway, and increased fall risk Findings are aligned with real-world clinical documentation and are ideal for practice in SOAP note construction, OSCE preparation, and simulation-based evaluations. Perfect for students and faculty in: Nursing programs (BSN, ADN, MSN) Clinical Skills, Physical Assessment, or Health Assessment courses Allied health and NP/PA programs using Shadow Health Recommended for: Learners preparing for mobility-focused OSCEs or virtual assessments Tutors and educators needing high-quality reference for teaching clinical evaluation Students looking to master objective physical examination techniques Keywords: objective nursing assessment, mobility exam, shadow health, vitals, IV site, orthostatic hypotension, skin integrity, ROM testing, muscle strength, gait assessment, peripheral pulses, capillary refill, cognitive tests, edema, fall risk
