A patient who has ankylosing spondylitis (AS) asks the
nurse for help in choosing suitable activities for
maintaining good posture. Which exercise should the
nurse advise the patient to avoid?
A. Do stomach crunching
B. Stand on a single leg
C. Face wall and push off
D. Stretch the lower back - Answer-A. Do stomach
crunching
The nurse advises a patient who has AS to avoid stomach
crunches because they involve spinal flexion, which over
the long term can aggravate pulmonary complications by
decreasing the thoracic cage. The help strengthen the
same muscles, the nurse encourages exercises to
strengthen the upper and lower back such as leg lifts in
the prone position because in the prone position the back
is supported to prevent flexion. The remaining options can

be suitable exercises for this patient, standing on one leg
promotes core strength, pushing off a wall strengthens
back muscles, and stretching the lower back helps
maintain joint flexibility.
Ch. 65 Pre-Assessment #5
The incidence of Lyme disease is very high in a
Pennsylvania county, so the public health nurse provides
community education to increase the number of patients
who seek health care promptly after a tick bite. Which
information should the nurse provide in community
teaching people who are at risk for a tick bite?
A. The best therapy for the acute illness is an IV antibiotic.
B. Check for an enlarging reddened area with a clear
center.
C. Antibiotics will prevent Lyme disease if taken for 10
days.
D. Surveillance is necessary during the summer months
only. - Answer-B. Check for an enlarging reddened area
with a clear center.

Following a tick bite, individuals should mark the area with
a pen and watch for a reddened lesion that enlarges within
2 to 30 days after the bite, develops a clear center, has a
bright red border, and is accompanied by flu-like
symptoms and migrating joint and muscle pain. When
Lyme disease is confirmed, oral doxycycline (Vibramycin)
can be effective if started within 3 days of the bite, and 2 to
3 weeks of antibiotic therapy is usually effective. Although
ticks are most prevalent during summer months, residents
of high-risk areas should check for ticks whenever they
are outdoors.
Ch. 65 Pre-Assessment #6
In comparing connective tissue disorders, which disorder
is most likely to result in patient injury, affect pulmonary
function, and increase the patient's risk of infection as a
result of the indicated drug therapy?
A. Polymyositis (PN)
B. Sjogren's Syndrome (SS)
C. Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma)
D. Systemic lupus erythematousus (SLE) - Answer-A.
Polymyositis (PN)
, 4|Page
PN is an inflammatory disease of striated muscle, resulting
in muscle weakness that increases the patient's risk of
falls and injury. In addition, most patients with PN develop
interstitial lung disease, which can impair pulmonary
function. The risk of infection increases during therapy with
corticosteroids because these drugs suppress the immune
response to potential pathogens.
Ch. 65 Pre-Assessment #7
Patients who have which of this following connective
disorders are least likely to experience significant pain
because of the primary pathophysiologic process of this
disorder?
A. FIbromyalgia
B. Lyme disease
C. Sjogren's syndrome (SS)
D. Systemic lupus erythematousus (SLE) - Answer-C.
Sjogren's syndrome (SS)
