NSG500/ NSG 500 EXAM 3: (NEW 2024/ 2025)
ADVANCED HEALTH ASSESSMENT REVIEW|
QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS| 100%
CORRECT|
1. Sequence of musculoskeletal exam: Inspect, Palpate,
Passive/Active ROM, and Joint Stability/Assess
-Stability tests; if your pt has knee pain and you're concerned about an
ACL tear, you'll do stability testing and load joint to see if joint is stable
2. Normal musculoskeletal changes in aging: decreased ROM,
joint pain, stiffness, increased risk of osteoarthritis, increased bone
reabsorption—this can cause instability
3. What is the best way to assess for joint effusion?: Palpate; it
will be feel soft an spongy (that's the fluid in the joint you are
feeling)

4. Osteoarthritis; What is the tinel test?: -tapping
on ulnar side and indicates if medial nerve is
involved
5. What is the phalen test?: An exam that assess
for carpal tunnel syndrome.
-Inverse praying hands.
-Tingling will indicate compression of carpal tunnel
nerve
6. Lachman test: A stability test that can indicate an ACL tear
7. Distinguishing characteristics of OA: During inspection you
visualize heberden nodes. They will be in the distal region of
extremities
(bouchards will be more proximal)

8. Risk factors for OA: previous joint injuries, overuse injury (like
older men who were catchers while playing baseball), old age,
family hx, vitamin deficiency, smoking, obesity, runners
9. What decreases your risk for OA?: An active lifestyle and low
joint impact exercises like walking and swimming
10. What test will look at the meniscus?: McMurray test; internal
and external rotation at the knee
11. Exams for hip dislocation/displacia in an infant: Ortalani
and Barlow test
12. S/s plantar fasciitis: -Pain at the base of heel/arch,
-pain is worse in the morning and bedtime (if you're standing all day)
13. What are tests for assessing rotator cuff tear?: -Neer's test
(pain when you lift arm up)
-Drop Arm test (can't hold arm against gravity),
