Q

Footdrop:

A

permanent plantar flexion

34
Q

Disuse Osteoporosis:

A

loss of bone mass due to lack of activity

35
Q

Pathologic bone fracture:

A

spontaneous breaks without trauma

36
Q

Sustained lack of activity may lead to resorption of bone, causing bone to become less dense and calcium to be released into the bloodstream, excess is excreted. This leads too:

A

Disuse osteoporosis and pathologoic bone fractures

37
Q

Range of Motion:

A

degrees of movement

38
Q

Active Range of Motion:

A

full movement

39
Q

Passive Range of Motion:

A

nurse moves each joint to point of resistance

40
Q

Dangling:

A

patient sits on the side of the bed before standing

41
Q

Why is dangling important?

A

to prevent injury to previously non-ambulatory patients

42
Q

Gait:

A

manner of walking

43
Q

Cardiac Workload is Increased:

A

when the body is in the supine position due to increases venous return

44
Q

Lung Expansion is Decreased:

A

because of the body’s weight against the bed puts pressure on the rib cage

45
Q

The diaphragm:

A

has less room to expand due to pressure of organs

46
Q

What is a DVT:

A

pooled blood combined with weakened calf muscle

47
Q

BMK decreases:

A

body begins breaking down muscle protein for energy

48
Q

Musculoskeletal:

A

disuse osteoporosis
disuse atrophy
contractures
stiffness and pain in joints

49
Q

Cardiovascular:

A 
diminished cardiac reserve 
orthostatic hypotension
venous vasodilation and stasis
dependent edema
thrombus formation
50
Q

Respiratory:

A

decreased respiratory movement
pooling of respiratory secretions
atelectasis
pneumonia

51
Q

Metabolic:

A

decreased metabolic rate
negative nitrogen balance
anorexia
negative calcium balance

52
Q

Urinary:

A

urinary stasis
renal calculi
urinary retention
urinary infection

53
Q

GI:

A

anorexia
uncomfortable position
embarrassment
constipation

54
Q

Psychoneurological:

A

decline in mood elevating substances
perception of time intervals deteriorates
problem solving and decision making abilities deteriorate

55
Q

Integumentary:

A

decubitus ulcers
venous stasis ulcers
necrosis

56
Q

Urinary Stasis:

A

may develop due to the dependent position of the bladder when patients are supine

57
Q

Breeding ground for UTI’s

A

stagnant urine

58
Q

Pressure on bony prominences:

A

can cause tissue ischemia

59
Q

Prolonged tissue ischemia:

A

may lead to necrosis

60
Q

death of cells, tissue, or organs and destruction of all layers of the skin, muscles, and fat

61
Q

Assessment of the skin include:

A

observation of color, texture, warmth, and intactness

62
Q

Normal Reactive Hyperemia:

A

increased blood flow after restoration of the blood supply

63
Q

Isolation:

A

may result from inactivity and bed rest

64
Q

Sleep and Rest Patterns:

A

may be disturbed because of inactivity, environmental noise, constant disruptions for direct care and treatments, and frequent napping throughout the day

65
Q

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are use for:

A

mild to moderate pain relief

66
Q

Moderate to Severe Pain:

A

Narcotics

67
Q

Why do you medicate a patine before activity?

A

to enhance the patient’s ability to move

68
Q

Logrolling:

A

moving the whole body as a unit

69
Q

Trochanter Rolls:

risk for osteoporosis

77
Q

Factors affecting body alignment and activity:

A

growth and development
behavioral aspects
cultural and ethic origin

78
Q

Can a nurse delegate getting a patient out of bed for the first time?

A

No, this cannot be delegated

79
Q

If patients on bed rest have some mobility, the nurse should teach them:

A

to shift every 15 minutes

80
Q

Turn immobile patients every:
