body mechanics
descibes the coordinated efforts 0f the musculoskeletal and nervous system
negative nitrogen balance produces tissue catabolism from what
metabolic changes from immobility
mobility is the ability to move freely within environment and serves what 3 purposes
performance of ADLSs recreational activities and self defense
coordinated body movements involves integrated functioning of skeletal muscle and nervous system and consists of what 6 parts
bones-joints-ligaments(bone2bone)-tendons (muscle2bone)-cartilage(supporting connective tissue)-skeletal muscle
how many bones in the body?
206
what are the 4 diff types of bones?
long-short-flat-irregular
what provides attachments for muscles and ligaments and provides leverage for movements?
bones of the skeleton
the connection between bones
joint
what joint is btw tibia and fibula
fibrous
cartiliginious
bones joined by cartilage vertebrae
synovial
bones separate by a fluid filled joint cavity
what is composed of fibers and major functions are movement/posture/body heat
muscles
name 4 ways to assess client mobility
ROM(active and passive) Gait exercise and activity tolerance body alignment
Torticollis
inclining of head to affected side in which sternocleidomastoid muscle is contracted that is congentital or acquired
Kyphosis
increased convexity in curvature of thoracic spine from rickets or osteoporosis tuburculosis of spine
footdrop
inability to dorsiflex and invert foot because of peroneal nerve damage
six systems that are affected by immobility
metabolic/respiratory/cardiovascular/muscoskeletal/urinary and bowel/skin
immobility ------ metabolic rate
decreases
disuse osteoporosis leads to ?
calcium reabsorption and bone loss
kidney stones from immobility is from what?
increased urinary calcium excretion
how do you measure metabolic changes?
height weight and skin calipers intake/output electrolytes serum protein BUN(nitrogen in the end product protein) food I/O and assess wound healing
Atelectasis
collapse of alveoli and secretions block a bronchus and the distal lung tissue collapses as the existing air is absorbed producing hypoventilation and sometimes patient ability to cough declines
what does the nurse need to do to monitor respiratory in immobile patient?
assess lungs every 2 hours/identify decreased breath sounds crackles and wheezes
orthostatic hypotension
decreased circulating fluid volume/pooling of blood in lower extremeties/decrease autonomic response/decreased venous return/decrease cardio output/decline in BP/increase in heart rate drop in Bp when patient goes from supine to standing
Thrombus formation
accumulation of platlets / fibrin/clotting
4 things to monitor in immobile patient in cardio system?
BP-apical and periphal pulses-signs of venous stasis-DVTs
how do you assess pressure sore
turn every 2 hrs-braden scale( sensory moisture activity mobility nutrition friction and shear)
hazards of immobility in metabolic
anthropometric measures/wound healing rate
hazards of immobility in respiratory
every 2 hrs/ check chest wall movement/breath sounds to see if diminshed or any crackles or wheezes
hazards of immobility in cardio
Bp/pulse/peripheral circulation/DVTs
hazards of immobilty in muscles
ROM/strength/tone/mass
hazards of immobilty in skin
every 2 hrs check color integrity and turgor
reactions to immobilty can include
depressed bored angry isolated
what does an immobile client need for best metabolism?
protein calories and vitamin b( skin integrity and wound healing) C ( replace protein stores)
To prevent reppiratory problems in immobile patient what do u do?
T/C/DB take in 3 deep breaths and cough with the 3rd exhalation which helps avoid fatigue promotion of chest and lung expansion removal of excretions maitnenece of patent airway
dangling isometric exercises and increase activity will help what in the immobile patient
reduce orthostatic hypotension
oreintation x3 communication and client particpation helps with hazards of
psychsocial immobility
SCDs(sequential compression device)
alternately inflates and deflates and decreases venous stasis by increasing venous return through the deep veins of the legs tell client not to cross legs/put pillows under knees/or massage legs bc it could dislodge thrombus
how do you move client from bed to wheelchair
if it is more than 35 lbs get help or assistive device/ explain/ put chair next to bed with back in same plane as head of bed/see if they can bear weight
If client can only partially bear weight in transfer what do u do
only one nurse and they pivot client into chair with belt or powered standing assist lift
What is used for uncooperative patient with partial weight or cant bear weight or no upper body strength
2 people and body sling
patient cant bear weight is cooperative and has upper body strength
a seated transfer aid like friction reducing lateral assist with or wo belt
always transfer clients with partial weight bearing toward the weaker or stronger side
stronger
ADLs are
eating grooming tranferring and toileting
IADLs are
activities to be independent in society beyond ADLS like shopping cooking taking meds and banking
when moving client pivot on foot father away from chair because
maintains support for them and room for them to move
Ted hose
veins in the perophal vascular system
rr for older adult are
12-20 or 15 and decrease with age
loss of high frequency tones is common with aging
true
normal aging with eyes include
prebyopia(close detailed work) chaning light to dark glares smaller pupils yellow of lens altered color
use close ended questions when talking about sexuality with elderly
false
more calories are needed in hospital after surgery for elderly
true
nutritional needs for elderly are
less sodium fat sugar and more fiber calcium iron vitamin A and C
elderly use more of this when eating to compensate dimenished taste
salt and sugar which leads to anemia and trouble with bowels
diff ways old people do to cope are
therapeutic communication validation therapy reminiscence body image interventions
things to promote good health in elderly are
smoking cessation meaures to reduce falls exercise and good nutrition avoid adverse med effects
