Questions and Already Passed
Answers 2025.
Activity tolerance - Answer is the type and amount of exercise or work that a person is able to
perform without undue exertion or possible injury.
anthropometric measurements - Answer measures of height, weight, and skinfold thickness to
evaluate muscle atrophy.
atelectasis - Answer collapse of alveoli
chest physiotherapy - Answer percussion and postural drainage
embolus - Answer dislodged venous thrombus that can travel through the circulatory system
to the lungs and impair circulation and oxygenation, resulting in tachycardia and shortness of
breath
hemiparesis - Answer one-sided weakness
hemiplegia - Answer one-sided paralysis
hypostatic pneumonia - Answer inflammation of the lung from stasis or pooling of secretions
muscle atrophy - Answer loss of muscle tone, and joint stiffness
negative nitrogen balance - Answer when the body is immobile, the body often excretes more
nitrogen than it ingests in proteins
pathological fractures - Answer fractures caused by weakened bone tissue
Renal calculi. - Answer are calcium stones that lodge in the renal pelvis or pass through the
ureters. Immobilized patients are at risk for calculi because they frequently have hypercalcemia.
, urinary stasis - Answer Because the peristaltic contractions of the ureters are insufficient to
overcome gravity, the renal pelvis fills before urine enters the ureters
torticollis - Answer inclining head to affected side, sternocleidmastoid muscle is contracted
lordosis - Answer exaggeration of anterior convex curve of lumbar spine
kyphosis - Answer increased convexity in curvature of thoracic spine
What are the risk factors for developing pathological fractures in patients with immobility?
Select all that apply.
1. Decreased metabolism
2. Decreased urinary output
3. Decreased tissue catabolism
4. Decreased calcium regulation
5. Decreased urine concentration - Answer 1,4
While assessing a patient with impaired mobility, the nurse observes that the patient is unable
to perform range of motion exercises. Which complications are most likely to occur in the
patient?
1. Metabolic
2. Respiratory
3. Integumentary
4. Musculoskeletal - Answer 2
Which statement is true regarding muscle abnormalities?
1. Muscle abnormalities can affect body alignment.
2. Muscle abnormalities affect the central nervous system of the body.
3. Muscle abnormalities cause degeneration of skeletal muscle fibers.
4. Muscle abnormalities are most prevalent for muscle diseases in adulthood - Answer 3
