Question | Answer |
---|---|
The normal functions of the musculoskeletal system are? | 1. Proper body alignment 2. Posture 3. Balance 4. Coordinated movement |
Proper body mechanics use alignment, balance, and coordinated movement to perform activities such as? | Lifting, bending, and moving safely and efficiently |
ROM | is the ability to move a joint through the full extent of its normal movement. |
Active ROM | is when a patient can independently move3 the joint |
Passive ROM | is when another person must do this for the patient |
Normal walking gait consists of | the stance phase and the swing phase. |
Walking requires | coordinated effort, balance, and equilibrium |
Normal mobility requires | an intact musculoskeletal system/ nervous system control/ adequate circulation and oxygenation/ adequate energy/ appropriate lifestyle values/ suitable emotional state |
Symptoms of altered mobility are? | decreased muscle strength or tone/ lack of coordination/ altered gait/ decreased joint flexibility/ pain on movement/ decreased activity tolerance |
Immobility affects______ areas of function and contributes to _______ serious complications? | all, many |
NANDA-I Nursing Diagnoses in the area of mobility are: | Impaired Physical Mobility/ Impaired Walking/ Impaired Wheelchair Mobility/ Impaired Wheel chair Transfer Ability/ Impaired Bed Mobility/ Activity Intolerance/ Risk for Falls/ Risk for Disuse Syndrome |
Nursing Interventions to assist a patient with mobility problems include: | Turning and repositioning/ Providing ROM exercises/ Transferring/ Assisting with ambulation/ Teaching how to use ambulation aids |
Patient goals concerning mobility should focus on promoting: | Optimal mobility/ Increasing endurance and tolerance to exercise/ Preventing complications from immobility/ Adapting to mobility restrictions |
