Q

What is Apple Ascites?

A

Body fat accumulates anteriorly and centrally on the torso

As per Quizlet:

  • Have a high waist to hip ratio
  • Have significant difficulty in tolerating flat supine and prone postures. Usually
    have several pillows under the head end of the bed to achieve semi-fowler
    position to augment breathing.
  • Hypertrophy of accessory muscles of respiration
  • Has an immobile chest, immobile umbilicus
43
Q

What is Apple Pannus?

A

Body fat accumulates around the torso, but with a flap over the legs

As per Quizlet:

  • Have high waist to hip ratio
  • Patient has a mobile umbilicus
  • Variable supine tolerance
  • May tolerate prone
44
Q

What is Pear Abducted?

A

Body fat accumulates on the inside of the thighs
Lowered COG
Issues with toileting and moisture accumulation

As per Quizlet:

  • Have a very low waist to hip ratio
  • Majority of tissue is below belt line and femur is in abducted posture
  • Severely painful knees due to Valgus stress
  • Move from supine to sit via long sitting and avoid log rolling
45
Q

What is Pear Adducted?

A

Body fat accumulates on the outside of the thigh
Better at rolling than Pear Abducted
Lower COG

As per Quizlet:

  • Low waist to Hip ratio
  • Lower extremities are adducted and in-line with the body
  • Move from supine to sit via long sitting or may seek rolling technique
46
Q

People with Pear (Abducted/ Adducted) body types have a difficult time rolling
