MDC EXAM 2 REVIEW 1. The effects of Immobility a) Interventions that improve flexibility • P.R.E.P.(Perform passive ROM, Reposition Q2HR, Encourage independent activity as much as possible even i... n bedrest, Provide assistive devices) • Know examples of exercises for flexibility b) Assessment/ Findings of a patient with DVT • Assessment (1) Compare distal pulses for pulse quality, observe the color and temp. of extremities, evaluate sensation and motion, and determine speed of capillary refill. Compare calf circumferences. • Findings (1) Redness, warmth, tenderness, swelling (Thrombus formation), Peripheral and sacral edema. c) Identify patients at risk for skin breakdown • Older adults, immobile, cognitive impairments, incontinence, poor nutrition/ malnutrition. Medications may also cause vasoconstriction and result in poor tissue perfusion. 2. Benefits of Exercise a) Rationale for weight bearing exercise • Promotes bone reformation and growth (Makes bones stronger) • At least 3-5 times a week Identify benefits of exercise • Bone reformation and growth • Cardiovascular health promotion • Promotes balance and stability • Reduce stress and increase energy levels b) Identify benefits of exercise • Bone reformation and growth • Cardiovascular health promotion • Promotes balance and stability • Reduce stress and increase energy levels • Improves pulmonary circulation, skeletal development, skin tone • Reduces systemic inflammation c) Identify negative effects of immobility on musculoskeletal system • Osteoarthritis • Rheumatoid Arthritis • Loss of muscle strength • Impaired balance • Altered join mobility • Decreased stability • Osteoporosis • Depression, isolation, anxiety, and mood change • Can cause decreased peristalsis d) Explain ways to maintain proper posture for a client • Place the spine in a neutral position(Resting) • This allows the bones to be aligned, reduce stress and fatigue & muscle joints, and ligament can work efficiently • Avoid standing in 1 position for a long period of time • Do not lock your knees when standing • Keep core tight and don’t bend at the waist or neck • No slumping when sitting • Sit close to your work and use back support • Sit with feet flat on floor • Sleep on firm mattress • Do not wear high heels for a prolonged time, do not slump, and use a chair that supports your back.
