TEST 4 Flashcards
What subjective data do we ask for musculoskeletal?
Joint: Pain, stiffness, ROM
Muscles: Pain, cramping, weakness
Bones: Pain, deformity, accident/trauma
*Do you have any limitations in movement
What are you inspecting for on musculoskeletal?
Color (fracture- may see brusing)
Swelling
Masses
Deformities
What are you inspecting for on musculoskeletal?
Color (fracture- may see brusing)
Swelling
Masses
Deformities
What are you palpating for on musculoskeletal?
Extremities - crepitous
Joints - tenderness
Temp (hot = autoimmune disorder)
What is AROM and PROM?
ActiveROM - Patient is able to do themselves
PassiveROM - patient is being assisted
What is ROM checking?
Joint mobility
Should not cause pain
What is the muscle strength grading scale?
5 - FULL ROM/ FULL RESISTANCE
4 - FULL ROM/ LIGHT RESISTANCE
3 - FULL ROM / gravity/no resistance from nurse
2 - FULL ROM / gravity eliminated /only horizontal but not vertical
1 - Slight contraction
0 - no contraction
What is osteoporosis?
Loss of bone mass/density resulting in decreased ability to maintain structural integrity of skeleton
Kyphosis present / aging / etiology unknown
What are the treatments for osteoporosis?
Biphosphonates - inhibit bone resorption
(fosamax, boniva, actonel) side effect - esophageal ulcers / give 8oz water
Calcitonin - inhibit bone resportion
(Miacalcin, Fortical)
What is Osteomalacia
Softening of bone tissue due to inadequate mineralization of osteoid - *calcification does not occur
Caused by Vit D deficiency (lack of sun, dietary, malabsorption - crohns)
What is Osteomyelitis?
Infection of the bone
- caused by invasion of microorganisms that stim inflam response in bone tissue
What is definition of a fracture?
A break or disruption in the continuity of bone
(not in 2 separate parts)
What is a simple fracture and a compound fracture?
Simple - Break but not exposed to the atmosphere // skin intact
Compound - bone sticking out of body - even if skin is broken but bone is not out//still compound
What are these types of fractures?
Comminuted
Displaced
Spiral
Impacted
Greenstick
Comminuted - Bone is in several fragments
Displaced - fracture in 2 parts but they are misaligned
Spiral - goes down in spiral
Impacted - bone against bone, (jump off cliff - impact)
Greenstick - bones are not fully formed and it is bowed or bent
Define a strain.
Excessive stretching of a muscle or tendon
Define Sprain
Excessive stretching of a ligament
What are the classifications of strains and sprains?
1st degree - stretched too much
2nd degree - stretched or pulls and tears
3rd degree - big tears, complete disruption, ripped apart
How do you manage strains and sprains?
Cold & heat
Activity limitations
Anti inflam drugs
Muscle relaxants
Surgery
How do you manage the different degrees of strains and sprains?
1st - Rest, Ice for 24-48, Compression bandage, Elevation
2nd - immobilization, partial weight bearing
3rd - longer immobilization, possible surgery
Sprains or strains are what part of body?
Muscle
Tendon
ligament
Define osteoarthritis
-Most common type of arthritis
(weight-bearing joints and hands)
-Joint pain and loss of function
-Progressive deterioration
What are Heberdens nodes and Bouchards nodes?
Heberdens nodes - enlargement of distal joint
Bouchards nodes - enlargment of proximal joint
What are the clinical manifestation of Osteoarthritis?
Pain worsens with activity / better with rest
Hypertrophy of bone joints
50% of hand have heb or bouc nodes
Define Rheumatoid arthritis
Chronic progressive systemic inflam autoimmune disease primarily affecting joints
How does rheumatoid arthritis work?
Autoantibodies attack healthy tissue (RFacotrs)
Affects synovial tissue of any organ or body system - thickened inflam cells (erode cartilage and bone)
Starts in upper extremities & works down
Not genetic
What are the clinical manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis?
Joint deformity
Bilateral and symmertric
25% have subQ nodules - soft tissue growth pop up and go away
**hyper extension of thumb always present
What is the treatment for rheumatoid arthritis?
Pain management
Plasmapheresis - take blood out from remove RF and put blood back in
Assistive devices
What is a comparison of Osteo and Rheumatoid?
Osteo - Assymetric, pain with movement, hypertrophy - not warm or red
Rheumatoid - symmetric, pain when touched, warm and red
ALtruism
Wanting to care for others/help others
