Exam 3 Flashcards

1
Q

Abdominal percussion

A

• Percuss the abdomen lightly in all four
quadrants to determine the distribution of
tympany and dullness.

• Tympany usually predominates because of gas
in the GI tract, but scattered areas of dullness
from fluid and feces are also common.

Percuss to determine the small area of tympany that notes the spleen.

Dullness suggests enlargement.

Normal sized spleen will not be palpable so if you feel it, it’s enlarged.

Q

Different type of pain ( Referred pain )

A

Referred pain is visceral pain that is felt in another area of the body and occurs

Q

When someone comes in with injury in their forearm what you will assess?

A

Elbow and the wrist “the joints above and down the injury”

23

Using prednisone susceptible for what ?

A

“compression fracture” back pain.

24
Q

Patient with no alarm symptoms, comes with back pain, no radiculopathy what
Your diagnose?

A

◦ Radiculopathy without alarm symptoms, tends to suggest disc
herniation.

Sepsis arthritis.

28
Q

Iliotibial band tendonitis (location) ?

A

Lateral knee pain

29
Q
A

Flexion

30
Q
A

Extension

31
Q
A

Rotation

32
Q
A

Lateral flexion

33
Q
A

Internal rotation: place hands behind the back with palm out

• Measure level of spinous
process of thumb - Normal
is above T7

34
Q
A

Abduction

35
Q
A

Adduction

36
Q

Impingement Tests: Neer’s Test

A

Forward flexion with arm internally rotated.

Stabilize the patient’s scapula with one hand, while passively flexing the arm while it is internally rotated.

37
Q

Impingement Tests: Hawkins Test

A

Arm at 90o, 30o of forward flexion, bend elbow and take from external rotation to internal rotation

38
Q

Posterior Drawer

A

With the knee flexed to 90 degrees and the patient’s foot flat on the table, grasp the tibia with both hands and push posteriorly

Laxity at the conclusion of movement is indicative of a PCL injury

39
Q

What does the pain associate with AC joint look like? And what test will do ?

A

Cross-Arm Test
Pull arm across body (thereby compressing the AC joint)

◦ look for pain at the AC joint not just
general shoulder pain

40
Q

ACL injury

A

Lachman

( With the knee flexed at 30 degrees, grasp the inner aspect of the calf with one hand, grasp outer aspect of distal thigh with the other hand Pull on the tibia to assess the amount of anterior motion of the tibia in comparison to the femur)

ACL injury – increased forward translation of the tibia at the end of movement

41
Q

Jersey Finger

A

flexor tendon injury at DIP
◦ Can’t flex at DIP
◦ Urgent follow up

42
Q

Mallet finger

A

extensor tendon injury at DIP
◦ Can’t extend at DIP

43
Q

ROS for musculoskeletal ?

A

◦ For obvious traumatic injury, you may only require a limited ROS.
Constitutional, Skin, Neuro (strength, numbness, tingling)

◦ For more systemic issues (like pain in multiple joints), an expanded review of systems may be necessary.
Constitutional symptoms of fever, weight loss, swelling with no injury, or system illness suggest medical conditions. History of insect bite?

HEENT (dry eyes, scleritis, corneal ulcer—rheumatoid arthritis) CV, Resp, Lymphatics
