NEW NURS1142 PED DIATARY ACTUAL EXAM
WITH Q&A NEW MODIFIED!!!
The nurse is explaining to a patient that there are "shock absorbers" in his back
to cushion the spine and to help it move. The nurse is referring to his: A)
vertebral column.
B) nucleus pulposus.
C) vertebral foramen.
D) intervertebral disks. -- ANSWER--ANS: D
Intervertebral disks are elastic fibrocartilaginous plates that cushion the spine
like shock absorbers and help it move. The vertebral column is the spinal
column itself. The nucleus pulposus is located in the center of each disk. The
vertebral foramen is the channel, or opening, for the spinal cord in the vertebrae.
Fibrous bands running directly from one bone to another that strengthen the
joint and help prevent movement in undesirable directions are called: A) bursa.
B) tendons.
C) cartilage.
D) ligaments. -- ANSWER--ANS: D
Fibrous bands running directly from one bone to another that strengthen the
joint and help prevent movement in undesirable directions are called ligaments.

The nurse notices that a woman in an exercise class is unable to jump rope. The
nurse knows that to jump rope, one's shoulder has to be capable of: A)
inversion.
B) supination.
C) protraction.

The articulation of the mandible and the temporal bone is known as the: A)
intervertebral foramen.
B) condyle of the mandible.
C) temporomandibular joint.
D) zygomatic arch of the temporal bone. -- ANSWER--ANS: C

The nurse is providing patient education for a man who has been diagnosed
with a rotator cuff injury. The nurse knows that a rotator cuff injury involves
the: A) nucleus pulposus.
B) articular process.
C) medial epicondyle.
D) glenohumeral joint. -- ANSWER--ANS: D
A rotator cuff injury involves the glenohumeral joint, which is enclosed by a
group of four powerful muscles and tendons that support and stabilize it. The
nucleus pulposus is located in the center of each intervertebral disk. The medial
epicondyle is located at the elbow.

During an interview the patient states, "I can feel this bump on the top of both
of my shoulders—it doesn't hurt but I am curious about what it might be." The
nurse should tell the patient, "That is:
A) your subacromial bursa."
B) your acromion process."

, C) your glenohumeral joint."
D) the greater tubercle of your humerus." -- ANSWER--ANS: B
The bump of the scapula's acromion process is felt at the very top of the
shoulder. The other options are not correct.

A patient tells the nurse that she is having a hard time bringing her hand to her
mouth when she eats or tries to brush her teeth. The nurse knows that for her to
move her hand to her mouth, she must perform which movement?
A) flexion.
B) abduction.
C) adduction.
D) extension. -- ANSWER-- A
Flexion, or bending a limb at a joint, would be required to move the hand to the
mouth. Extension is straightening a limb at a joint. Moving a limb toward the
midline of the body is called adduction; abduction is moving a limb away from
the midline of the body.
The functional units of the musculoskeletal system are the: A) joints.
B) bones.
