RASMUSSEN UNIVERSITY
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)
MDC I - Multidimensional Care I
Academic Year: 2026/2027
Exam 2 Review - Musculoskeletal & Sensory Disorders
Question 1
Which of the following are risk factors that affect mobility? (Select all that apply)
A. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
B. Osteoarthritis
C. Regular exercise
D. Obesity
E. Fractures
CORRECT ANSWER
A, B, D, E. DVT, osteoarthritis, obesity, and fractures are risk factors affecting
mobility. Regular exercise improves mobility.
RATIONALE
Mobility risk factors include conditions that impair movement: DVT (pain/swelling), osteoarthritis
(joint degeneration), osteoporosis (fracture risk), obesity (excess weight), stroke (neurologic
deficit), sedentary lifestyle, neuromuscular disorders, advanced age, and fractures.
, Question 2
Adult Failure to Thrive is characterized by which of the following? (Select all that apply)
A. Unintentional weight loss
B. Poor nutrition
C. Depression
D. Functional decline
CORRECT ANSWER
A, B, C, D. Unintentional weight loss, poor nutrition, depression, and functional
decline are key features of Adult Failure to Thrive.
RATIONALE
Adult Failure to Thrive describes a syndrome of progressive functional decline, unintentional
weight loss (>5% in 1 month or 10% in 6 months), poor nutrition, dehydration, depression, and
decreased physical activity.
Question 3
Place the four stages of bone healing in the correct order.
A. Soft callus → Hematoma formation → Hard callus → Remodeling
B. Hematoma formation → Soft callus → Hard callus → Remodeling
C. Remodeling → Hard callus → Soft callus → Hematoma formation
D. Hard callus → Soft callus → Hematoma formation → Remodeling
CORRECT ANSWER
B. Hematoma formation → Soft callus → Hard callus → Remodeling
RATIONALE
Bone healing stages: (1) Hematoma formation (clot forms at fracture site, inflammation occurs),
(2) Soft callus (fibrocartilage fills gap), (3) Hard callus (mineralization, bony union), (4) Remodeling
(bone reshapes to original contour).
