Rasmussen MDC1 Exam 2 Questions With
Complete Solutions Graded A+
What factors affect mobility?
Developmental age, nutritional status, lifestyle choices, stress, environment, and diseases.
What are some diseases that affect mobility?
Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, ankylosing spondylitis, gout, osteoporosis,
osteomyelitis, and bone tumors.
What is Rheumatoid Arthritis and some clinical manifestations? Most frequent in?
It is systemic autoimmune disease causing chronic inflammation of the joints and connective tissue.
C/S: Causes pain, deformities, fever, fatigue, weakness, weight loss and loss of function.
Most frequent in mid-life age and females.
What is osteoarthritis and some clinical manifestations? Most frequent in?
Loss of articular cartilage in the joint.
C/S: · Causes pain, stiffness, crepitus, aggravated weight-bearing and joint use.
Most frequent in females.
What is Ankylosing Spondylitis?
Chronic inflammatory joint disease that causes stiffens and fusion of the spine and sacroiliac joints
What is Gout?
Inflammatory response to high-levels of uric acid. Forms tophi (white nodules) in the synovial fluid.
What is Osteoporosis? Most Common in? Best Treatment?
Decrease in total bone density when osteoclast activity is higher than osteoblast.
Most common in females at menopause age.
The best treatment is prevention by proper diet high in calcium, fluoride and minerals.
What is Osteomyelitis?
Infection of the bone.
Can develop after injury, surgery or traumas.
What are bone tumors?
Affects form and function. Causes pain and severely impedes mobility.
What is Syndactylism?
Fusion on one or more fingers.
, What is developmental dysplasia of the hip (DHH)?
Hip dislocation due to femur abnormality.
What are foot deformities?
· Club foot (talipes equinovarus) can affect walking
What is Scoliosis?
Scoliosis: lateral curvature of the spine.
What is Osteogenesis?
Brittle bones that fracture easily.
What is Achondroplasia?
Dwarfism (bones harden prematurely)
What is Paget's disease?
Increased bone loss results in pain, pathological fractures and deformities
Vitamin D & Calcium?
Porous bones. Prolonged deficiency can cause bowed, retard growth and frequent fractures of the
long bones.
What are some disorders of the CNS?
Disorders that affect the motor center of the brain.
Ex. Stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and myasthenia gravis.
What diseases can occur from other systems besides CNS that can be affected by mobility?
Respiratory disease: Limit mobility tolerance due to lack of oxygen
Circulatory disorders: Impairs tissue oxygen delivery causing pain, edema, discomfort, etc.
Fatigue: Limits activity to a short period of time.
Bedrest: reduces overall activity
What are the affects of immobility on the musculoskeletal system?
12% loss of muscle strength per week
Osteoporosis
Change in calcium metabolism leading to possible formation of renal calculi
Impaired balance
Foot drop
