Q

what is turgor vs. mobility?

A

mobility- the ease with which skin is moved when it is liften

25
Name some examples of secondary lesions.
erosion, crust, scale, fissure, ulcer, lichenification, atrophy, excoriation, scar, keloid
26
what are teh 3 classification systems utilized for ulcers:
1. Wagner's- vascular surgery 2. International Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (IPUAP)- wound care nursing 3. University of Texam San Antonio (UTSA)
27
Describe the UTSA classification system for ulcers.
``` #- refers to depth of ulcer letters- refers to ischemia/infection or both ```
28
Using the UTSA classification system, grade the depth of ulcers.
0- no break in skin 1- subcutaneous break 2- wound probes to tendon 3- wound probes to bone
29
Using the UTSA classification syste, grade the level of ischemia/infection.
A- no infection or ischemia B- infection C- ischemia D- ischemia & infection
30
muscle strength scale: normal strength
5/5
31
movement against resistance, but less than normal
4/5
32
movement against gravity, but not against added resistance
3/5
33
movement at the joint, but not against gravity
2/5
34
visible muscle movement, but no movement at the joint
1/5
35
no muscle movement
0/5
36
because the normal pod MSK exam occurs in the sitting position with the feet elevated (gravity eliminated), active movement of the foot and ankle against resistance implies what muscle strength?
2/5
37
early loss of strength will usually be seen in which muscle?
extensor digitorum brevis | *test by having patient dorsiflex the toes
38
more severe loss of muscular strength will be seen in what motion?
ankle dorsiflexion
39
MOST severe loss of muscular strength will be seen in what motion?
ankle plantar flexion
40
sensation proceeds along which courses in the spinal cord?
1. posterior column | 2. lateral spinothalamic tract
41
if a patient complains of "burning, cramping" pain- what tract is affected?
lateral spinothalamic tract- (aka small fiber tract)
42
which tract is for sharp and dull pain (nociception), temp, crude touch?
lateral spinothalamic tract
43
which tract is for position, vibration, and fine touch?
posterior column
44
if a patient complains of "pins and needles or electric shock sensation", which tract is affected?
posterior column
45
what is considered a normal neurological exam with SWM?
at least 7/10 areas detected
46
what is the normal distance for 2-point discrimination?
5-6mm
47
an absent achilles reflex after what age is considered normal/
after 80 y/o
48
what is the spinal root level for the knee reflex?
L2,3,4
49
what is the spinal root level for the ankle reflex?
S1,2
50
what are the 5 potential areas of problems if you don't get a reflex?
1. intact sensory nerve 2. a functional synapse in the spinal cord 3. an intact motor nerve fiber 4. NMJ 5. competent muscle
51
true or false- deep reflex is not dependent upon higher levels of motor function in the brain and spinal cord.
true
52
describe the scale for scoring a deep tendon reflex.
4/4- hyperactive, clonus --> indicates UMN lesion 3/4- brisker than average, may indicate disease 2/4- average, normal 1/4- somewhat diminished 0/4- no response --> indicates LMN disease, peripheral neuropathy
53
what does a Babinskin response indicate?
(is a superficial reflex or plantar response, L4, L5, S1, S2) UMN disease- dorsiflexion of the great toe and fanning of the other toes
54
if a patient is able to stand on their tiptoes but not on their heels, what dose this suggest?
peripheral neuropathy
55
if a patient is able to stand on heels, but not tiptoes, suggests what?
spinal lesion
56
what does the ability to hop in place with each foot indicate?
intact motor system in the legs, normal cerebellar function and good position sense
57
what is the impression?
same as diagnosis
58
if a child is born in the breech position (buttocks first), what problems are more associated with this?
greater chance of LE problems, especially hip dislocation with or without metatarsus adductus
59
what is the APGAR score?
``` (very intial exam of teh infant after birth) A-appearance P-pulse G-grimace A-activity R-respirations ```
60
what is the desirable APGAR score?
>7
61
when does a child develop hand preference?
age 2- a preference before then could signify a problem
