NSG500 quiz 3, NSG 500 quiz 3
.abdominal reflex - ANSWER-patient supine stroke each quadrant of abdomen with end of reflex
hammer. expect slight movement of umbilicus toward are of stimulation to be bilaterally present
.abdominal reflex tests what spinal nerve? - ANSWER-upper: T8, T9, T10
Lower: T10, T11, T12
.abducens nerve testing - ANSWER-located in pons, injury will deviate eye medially
.Abduction - ANSWER-Movement away from the midline of the body
.accessory nerve testing - ANSWER-XI
-resisted head and shoulder shrug (trapezius strenght)
resisted turning of head (sternocleidomastoid)
.Achilles reflex (ankle jerk) - ANSWER-S1 and S2
Position the person with the knee flexed and the hip externally rotated. Hold the foot in dorsiflexion
and strike the achilles tendon directly. Feel the normal response as the foot plantar flexes against
your hand
.Adduction - ANSWER-Movement toward the midline of the body
.afferent vs efferent neuron - ANSWER-afferent (sensory) initiates a reflex. Efferent (motor) makes the
movement
.Age related muskuloskeletal changes - ANSWER-a. Decreased estrogen in womenàinc. bone
resorption and decreased calcium deposition. Loss of bone mass
b. Cartilage around joints deteriorates
, .anterior cruciate ligament injury - ANSWER-Positive anterior "drawer sign"
ACL tear
When you injure your anterior cruciate ligament, you might hear a popping noise and you may feel
your knee give out from under you. Other typical symptoms include:
Pain with swelling. Within 24 hours, your knee will swell. If ignored, the swelling and pain may go
away on its own. However, if you attempt to return to sports, your knee will probably be unstable,
and you risk causing further damage to the cushioning cartilage (meniscus) of your knee.
Loss of full range of motion
Tenderness along the joint line
Discomfort while walking
.assessing for scoliosis - ANSWER-- Screen for scoliosis
- Examiner sits behind client
- Ask client to bend forward slowly to touch the toes
- Normal findings: spine is aligned
- Abnormal findings: lateral curvature of the spine with increased convexity on the side that is curved
suggests scoliosis
.Balance testing: gait - ANSWER-observe walk without shoes normally.
heel toe walking: touch toe of one foot with heel of other forward and backward. Slight swaying is ok.
.Biceps DTR tests which cpinal nerve? - ANSWER-C5 &C6 --flex arms to 45 degrees, palpate biceps
tenden, strike thumb with reflex hammer on tendon, contraction should occur
.Brachioradialis reflex - ANSWER-C5 & C6
arm up to 45 degrees and rest of forearm on practitioners arm. hand pronated. strike brachioradialis
tendon directly with reflex hammer. pronation of forearm/flexion of elbow should occur
.abdominal reflex - ANSWER-patient supine stroke each quadrant of abdomen with end of reflex
hammer. expect slight movement of umbilicus toward are of stimulation to be bilaterally present
