Ch 34 Mobility
Mobility and Body Mechanics
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the rules of body mechanics? | assess situation, use leg muscles, appropriate height, use supportive devices |
Active ROM | Pt. does ROM themselves. |
Passive ROM | Nurse or physical therapist does ROM |
Contractures | Joint freezes in an abnormal position. |
Ataxic gait | Staggering and unsteadiness |
Spastic gait | Walking appears stiff and toes appear to catch and drag. |
Waddling gait | Walking with feet wide apart in a duck like fashion. |
Hemiplegic gait | Occurs when one leg is paralyzed or neurologically damaged, so the leg is dragged or swung around to propel forward |
Festinating gait | Walking on the toes as if being pushed. |
Orthostatic hypotension | Decreased ability to maintain systemic blood pressure when changing from a supine to an upright position. |
Thrombus | blood clot, composed of platelets, fibrin, and cellular elements that attach to the wall of an artery or vein. |
Gross motor activities | riding a bike, walking backwards, dancing.. |
Fine motor skills | catching a ball, brushing teeth, washing hands |
At what age does physical growth slow? | between 6 and 12 y/o |
Adequate intake of what vitamins is important to prevent ambormal skin changes? | Vitamins A,B6, C, K, niacin and riboflavin |
Name the three types of wound healing | Primary Intention, Seconday and Tertiary intention |
primary intention | Wounds with minimal tissue loss heal with primary intention. The edges of the wound are approximated (lightly pulled together) |
secondary intention | wounds with full-thickness tissue loss like burns, deep lacerations and pressure ulcers have edges that do not readily approximate. scarring is more prevalent. |
tertiary intention | occurs when a delay ensues between injury and wound closure. aka delayed primary closure. may happen when a deep wound is not sutured immediately. a deeper wider scar occurs. |
sequential compression device (912) | promotes venous return from legs to decrease the risk of dvt and pe in clients with reduced mobility |
types of dressings | transparent films, foams, hydrocolloids, hydrogels, alginate, collagens, composites, contact layers, silver dressings |
alginate dressing | used for absorption in a deep or moderately draining wound |
contact layer dressing | nonadherent dressing minimizes disruption of new cells |
silver dressings | antimicrobial dressings used for infected wounds |
methods of securing dressing | tape, montgomery straps (used when dressing requires frequent changes, eliminate the need to remove tape with every dressing change), ace wraps, stretch nets, binders. |
types of debridement | mechanical, surgical, enzymatic (placing chemical products in the wound), autolytic (using bodys own fluid and cells) |
jackson-pratt drain | permits drainage to collect in a bulblike device that can be compressed to create suction. |
nursing dx for skin integrity and wound healing | impaired sking integrity, risk for infection, altered nutrition, impaired tissue integrity, altered self-concept, risk for impaired skin integrity |
outcome identification for skin integrity and wound healing | wound will demonstrate evidence of healing in specific time period. client will verbalize understanding of preventive skin care |
how many mL are in an oz | 30 |
normal urinary output w/ a catheter | 30-50mL per hour |
oliguria | less than 30ml may indicate inadequate blood flow to the kidneys |
average amount of urine per void | 250-400mL |
newborn-2 urine output daily | 500-600mL |
2-5 daily urine output | 500-800mL |
5-8 daily urine output | 600-1200mL |
8-14 daily urine output | 1000-1500mL |
14 and over daily urine output | 1500mL |
ADH | secreted by thy hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary in the brain. causes the kidney to reabsorb water. |
diuresis | water excretion |
urinary incontinence | involuntary loss of urine |
urge incontinence | involuntary loss of urine after a strong feeling of the need to urinate |
reflex incontinence | involuntary loss of urine that occurs at somewhat predictable intervals when a specific bladder volume is reached |
enuresis | involuntary voiding whith no underlying pathophysiologic origin |
stress incontinence | a person experiences a loss of less than 50mL of urine with increased abdominal pressure. |
maceration | process of skin softening caused by continuous moisture or soaking |
intermittent catheterization | straight catheterization |
indications for catheterization | monitoring acutely ill patients, assessment of urinary output is necessary, surgical clients, comfort measure for terminally or severely ill patients. |
how much feces is produced daily | 150-300g |
what amount of fluid intake is necessary to meet cellular needs and have enough left over to promote soft stool | 2000mL |
