Musculoskeletal Assessment health asses exam 3

lack of normal muscle tone or strength

connects muscle to bone

sudden violent involuntary contraction of a muscle

A client who engages in contact sports are at risk for injury, should assess the client’s use of protective equipment.

Teaching and performing isometric exercises maintain muscle strength

Loss of balance result from sensory or motor disorders, ear infections, adverse effects of some meds, and other factors

musculoskeletal assessment, the nurse should evaluate for findings that are significant for previous disease or injury

Subluxation occurs from the weight of the arm and lack of muscle tone to hold the joint together.

decreases the angle between body parts

To test the hamstring, the client will

Ball-and-socket joints do NOT permit a wide ROM.

Tremors are involuntary muscle contractions.

The meniscus is a cartilage disk located between bones that absorb shock and cushion joints

kyphosis

fluid- filled sacs in areas of friction to cushion bones or ligaments that might rub against each other

moves the body part towards the center of the body

Older adults have an increased rate of falls because of postural changes

involuntary contraction of muscles

The hip joint is a synovial and ball and socket joint

Clients who had a stroke with paralysis are at risk for developing subluxation, or partial dislocation of the shoulder

Which joints can perform supinate and pronate?

Which joints can perform circumduction?

Muscles and bones facilitate movement through the joints, or articulations.

involuntary twitching of muscle fibers

Clients who use external support, such as holding on to the wall, require further follow-up.

__is flat sheets that line and protect muscle fibers, attaching muscle to bone.

The musculoskeletal system is composed of skeletal muscle and five types of connective tissues:

The ____ elastic the connective tissue found around a joint, the greater the range of motion (ROM) in that joint will be

dimished tone of the skeletal muscles

Keeping the leg straight and telling the client to bend the knee tests the muscle strength of the client’s hamstring

Connective tissues are located all around the muscles, bones, and joints; and they serve protective functions.

When assessing the shoulders of a client the nurse should

Unequal shoulder height could indicate scoliosis or rotator cuff injury.

Which joints can perform dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion and eversion?

Which joints can perform internal/external rotation?

Which joints can perform flexion?

the nurse should assess for difficulty performing activities of daily living.

Which joints can perform flexion?

A hinge joint limited to flexion and extension.

___connect bone to bone to stabilize joints and limit movement.

Which joints can perform abduction?

Which joints can perform extension?

(amphiarthrotic) joints are slightly movable, such as the costal cartilage between the sternum & ribs & symphysis pubis

a circular motion of the body part.

moves a body part upward

scoliosis

how to measure the muscle strength

Which joints can perform hyperextension?

To test flexion, the nurse should tell the client to put their chin to their chest.

the nurse should understand how a joint moves to evaluate the function of the joint and to prevent injury.

Which joints can perform adduction?

hypertonic, so the muscles are stiff and movements awkard

Lordosis

To test the strength of the quadriceps , the nurse will instruct the client to

When assessing the range-of-motion of the cervical spine, the nurse will test

Keeping leg straight and raising tests the strength of the hip.

(diarthrotic) joints—the most common type—are freely movable and are named for their major type of movement:

(synarthrotic) joints are immovable, such as in the sutures in the cranium.

Which joints can perform rotation?

__ allows bones to slide over one another to reduce friction.

Which joints can perform hyperextension?

Normal gait

Which joints can perform extension?

postural changes decrease height
