A 
Long - femur

What are nonsynovial joints?

A

immovable or slightly movable.
surfaces of bones are bound closely (Skull sutures)
Cartilage connects one bone to another (spine vertebra)

24
Q

What are synovial joints?

A

Freely movable joints. Use of fluid to nourish the middle of the joint that protects the hyline cartilage.

(Synovial cavity, fluid, cartilage, capsular ligament)

25

A 
Planar - wrists
Hinge - knee, elbow, ankle
Pivot - C1 and C2

A

MSK, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, GI, Integumentary, Psychosocial, many many many so walk walk walk!

34
Q

What are some effects of immobility on the MSK system?

A

Stiffness and pain in the joints
Decrease in muscle mass
Contractures (Muscle shortening and unable to move joint any longer)

35
Q

What are some effects of immobility on the cardiovascular and respiratory system?

A 
Increased work heartload, Venous Vasodilation (edema) 
Thrombus formations (clots) , pooling of secretions in lungs that may lead to pneumonia
36
Q

What are some points to be aware of when you are considering transferring a patient?

A

Use pain relief before moving a patient for their comfort, Gather assistant devices if needed, plan around patients needs, watch for IV’s catheters, O2 tubing. Be alert to effects of medication (may cause them to be drowsy)
