RASMUSSEN MDC EXAM 2
QUESTIONS & ACTUAL CORRECT
ANSWERS
Remaining still for hours, sitting for long periods of time, anything that prevents
circulation - Correct Answer ✔✔ Clients at risk for DVT
- Handrails in bathrooms
- Ramps instead of stairs
- Wear rubber sole shoes
- Avoid scatter rugs
- Prevent clutter
- Avoid slippery floors - Correct Answer ✔✔ Prevention of falls
- Increased intraocular pressure in a hollow organ.
- When the intraocular pressure increase it leads to compression of the retinal blood
vessels and photoreceptors and their nerve fibers resulting in hypoxemia and death of
the tissue and loss of vision.
- Assure the patient can administer own eye drops correctly
- Keep follow-up appointments every 1-3 months to evaluate the IOP.
- If the patient had surgical treatment be sure to educate on the S&S of hemorrhage and
detachment including severe pain, and vision loss. These should be reported
immediately to HCP. - Correct Answer ✔✔ Glaucoma teaching and pathophysiology
- Maintain perfusion, improve comfort, and prevent impaired mobility - Correct Answer
✔✔ Prioritization of care for a fracture
- Handle with the palms of your hands, have patient report painful "hot spots" under the
cast which might indicate area of pressure necrosis, instruct patient to never put
anything down into the cast, encourage the patient/family to smell the area for
mustiness or unpleasant odor (if ignored the patient may develop a fever).
- Assess skin color and temperature, sensation, mobility, pain, capillary refill, and pulses
distal to the fracture site. CMS- circulation, movement, and sensation. - Correct Answer
✔✔ Cast education and assessment
- Infection of the bone. May be acute or chronic.
- Educate about medications, encourage compliance and to follow regimen (take full
course of medications), inform about signs and symptoms, provide comfort during rest
and with positioning, assist in ADL, coordinate physical therapy while in the hospital to
help improve mobility especially after surgery, provide mobility assistance devices. -
Correct Answer ✔✔ Osteomyelitis prevention and treatment methods
, - Gonioscopy is used when elevation intraocular pressure is diagnosed to determine if
the glaucoma is open-angle or closed-angle. It allows the visualization of the angle
where the iris meets the cornea. - Correct Answer ✔✔ Test to determine open vs closed
angle glaucoma
- CMS: circulation, mobility, sensation. Assess skin color, temperature, sensation,
mobility, pain, capillary refill, and pulses. - Correct Answer ✔✔ Neurovascular
assessment
- P: Palliative, Q: Quality, R: Region, S: Scale, T: Time - Correct Answer ✔✔ Pain
assessment
- The great toe shifts laterally, and the first metatarsal head of the great toe enlarges
- Pain especially when shoes are worn
- Treatment: custom made shoes or surgery - Correct Answer ✔✔ Bunions (hallux
valgus)
- Perform passive ROM exercises for patients who are immobile
- Turn and reposition every 2 hours
- Assess for skin redness - Correct Answer ✔✔ Priority assessments for immobile
patients
- A continuous ringing or noise perception in the ears. - Correct Answer ✔✔ Tinnitus
Also called farsightedness. Occurs when the eye does not refract light enough. As a
result, images actually converge behind the retina. Distant vision is normal, but near
vision is poor. - Correct Answer ✔✔ Hyperopia
- Decreases all muscle strengths including the lungs, increases secretion (aspiration
pneumonia is a risk), decrease ventilation capacity in response to exercise, respiratory
depth decreases affecting ventilation, air passage blockage can lead to atelectasis
(collapse of air sacs or alveoli). - Correct Answer ✔✔ Immobility consequences on the
respiratory system
Paralysis of one side of the body - Correct Answer ✔✔ Hemiplegia
Paralysis of the lower portion of the trunk and both legs - Correct Answer ✔✔
Paraplegia
Partial or incomplete paralysis - Correct Answer ✔✔ Paresis
Paralysis of all four extremities. - Correct Answer ✔✔ quadriplegia
- Used for partial weight-bearing, both feet; faster, but less support than a 4-point gait. -
Correct Answer ✔✔ Two-point gait
