What are 3 possible unmet needs that are related to the functioning of the MSK system? |
comfort (due to pain related to...) activity (due to decreased mobility related to...) Safety (due to risk of injury related to altered MSK related to...) |
|

1-d 2-b 3-c 4-e 5-a |
|
|
What are the most common manifestations of MSK disorders? |
pain limited mobility stiffness swelling heat weakness trauma |
|
|
What are the 4 things you should assess when assessing the MSK system? |
1. posture 2. gait 3. Inspect/palpate bones for any obvious deformities 4. assess muscle mass (increase->hypertrophy or decrease->atrophy) 5. Muscle strength 6. Assess joints for: -swelling -pain -redness -warmth -crepitus (grating sound when moving, due to a loss of cartilage) -ROM |
|
|
What is the easiest way to determine if a part of the body has a MSK disorder? |
Compare it to the other side |
|
|
What are some age related changes in the MSK system? |
Decreased muscle mass Loss of joint cartilage Decreased Ca absorption (bones become weaker) Decreased bone density (kyphosis) |
|
|
Can you give me some examples of possible nursing Dx regarding the MSK system? |
UMN for comfort due to pain related to joint stiffness… postural changes… UMN for activity due to decreased mobility related to altered balance… unstable gait… weakness… decreased ROM UMN for safety due to risk of injury related to an altered musculoskeletal function (risk for falls) (risk for fracture) |
