> proprioceptor or kinesthetic sense? Answer:this informs the brain of the
location of a limb or body part as a result of joint movements stimulating
special nerve endings in muscles, tendons, and fascia
> visual or optic reflexes? Answer:visual impressions contribute to posture
by alerting the person to spatial relationships with the environment
> extensor or stretch reflexes? Answer:when extensor muscles are
stretched beyond a certain point, their stimulation causes a reflex
contraction that aids a person to reestablish erect posture
> isotonic exercises? Answer:muscle shortening and active movement
> isometric exercise? Answer:muscle contraction without shortening
> isokinetic exercise? Answer:muscle contraction with resistance
> paresis? Answer:impaired muscle strength or weakness
> paralysis? Answer:absence of strength secondary to nervous impairment
> hemiparesis? Answer:weakness of half of the body
> hemiplegia? Answer:paralysis one half of the body
> paraplegia? Answer:paralysis both legs
> quadriplegia? Answer:paralysis of both arms and both legs
> anuria? Answer:24-hour urine output is less than 50mL; complete kidney
shut down or renal failure

given time; 24-hour urine output is less than 400mL
> polyuria? Answer:excessive output of urine (diuresis)
> proteinurea? Answer:protein in the urine; indication of kidney disease
> pyuria? Answer:pus in the urine; urine appears cloudy
> suppression? Answer:stoppage of urine production; normally, the adult
kidneys produce urine continuously at the rate of 60 to 120 mL/h
> urgency? Answer:strong desire to void
> urinary incontinence? Answer:involuntary loss of urine
> overflow incontinence? Answer:chronic retention of urine, the involuntary
loss of urine associated
> functional incontinence? Answer:urine loss caused by the inability to
reach the toilet because of environmental barriers, physical limitations, loss
of memory, or disorientation
> reflex incontinence? Answer:experience emptying of the bladder w/o
sensation of the need to void
> total incontinence? Answer:a continuous and unpredictable loss of urine,
resulting from surgery, trauma, or physical malformation
> dialysis? Answer:a mechanical way of filtering waste from the blood
> nursing process for bowels? Answer:-inspection
