A nurse at an extended care facility is instructions a class of assistive personnel (AP) about client use of assistive devices during ambulation. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the APs about clients' use of a cane? *"When the pt moves, he should move the cane forward first." *"The pt should not hold the cane on the weak side of his body." *"The grip should be level with the pt waist." *"The pt should first move the strong leg then the weak one."
*"When the pt moves, he should move the cane forward first." -Rationale: When the pt moves, he should first move the cane forward about 30.5 cm (12 in). Then he should move the weak leg even with the cane. Finally, he should bring the strong leg forward and ahead of the can and his weak leg.
A nurse is caring for pt who requires cold applications with an ice bad to reduce swelling and pain of an ankle injury. Which of the following actions should the nurse take? *Apply the bag for 30 min at a time *Reapply the bag 30 min after removing it *Allow room for some air in the bag *Place bag directly on the skin
*Apply the bag for 30 min at a time -Rationale: the nurse should leave the bad in place for 30 min, but should check the pt. skin after 15 min to make sure there are no adverse effects
Secondary prevention of VTE/DVT:
*BLOOD WORK: -CBC- wbc, rbc, hgb, hct, platelets -***Ddimer= not 100% accurate but drawn when suspect a DVT; will be elevated if present -***Duplex US/doppler= when go over and vein doesn't collapse -fibrin monomer complex ***DIAGNOSTIC TEST*** -venous compression ultrasound, norm veins collapse; DVTs don't due to thrombus *Other INVASIVE Tests: -Venography: MRI, need dye to look in area; but need good kidney function to do that. -CTV; may be contraindicated if poor kidney function with concern for dye excretion
A nurse is helping an older adult pt to ambulate in the hallway for the first time since admission. The pt has brought her standard walker from home. To ensure proper use of the walker and safety of the pt, which of the following actions should the nurse take? *Check that the pt lifts the walker and then places it down in front of her *Walk in front of the pt. to guide her in moving the walker *Have the pt. move one leg forward with the walker *Make sure that the upper bar of the walker is level with the pt waist
*Check that the pt lifts the walker and then places it down in front of her -Rationale: The pt should lift the walker and advance it about 15 cm (6 in) and then set it down. This allows her a wide base of support while she moves forward.

A nurse is assessing an older adult pt who has experienced some loss of bone density. The nurse observes a "hunchback" curvature of the pt. spine. The nurse should expect the provider to document which of the following? *scoliosis *kyphosis *lordosis *ankylosis
*kyphosis -Rationale: kyphosis, a forward, "hunchback" curvature of the spine, is an abnormal angulation of the posterior curve of the thoracic spine resulting from multiple compression fractures, usually a result of osteoporosis. It is most common in older adults and tends to increase with aging.
A nurse is completing discharge teaching with a pt. Of the following barriers to learning, which should the nurse interpret as a need to postpone teaching? *pain *hearing loss *pt culture *motor impairment
*pain -Rationale: If the pt. reports pain, the nurse should address pain first and then DC instructions second
A nurse is completing a physical assessment of a pt who has early osteoarthritis. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect? *symmetric joints affected *pain worsens with activity *weight loss *ulnar deviation
*pain worsens with activity -Rationale: typical cycle of pain and relief in a pt. who has early osteoarthritis consists of pain with activity and pain relief with rest. As the disorder progresses, pt can experience joint pain even while at rest. -symmetry pain, weight loss and ulnar deviation are all manifestations of RA
A nurse working in a community health center is preparing a flow sheet detailing essential screenings according to age group. At which developmental stage on the chart should the nurse add scoliosis? *infant *toddler/preschooler *pre-adolescent/adolescent *older adult
*pre-adolescent/adolescent -Rationale: scoliosis is a condition involving a lateral curvature to the spine. The nurse should include screening for scoliosis during the pre-adolescence/adolescence age group: for girls in grades 5-7 and boys grade 8-9.

Bc in high stress... need ENERGY which comes from ^ GLUCOSE. -good short term... but not long bc hyperglycemia
What are the clinical manifestations of Osteoarthritis and Osteoporosis (silent thief)?
-Osteoarthritis= slow, progressive, noninflammatory disorder of the synovial joints (not systematic... may inflame time to time, but not constant) *change to joints *Herberden's Node or Bouchard's Node= joints are swollen in the digits *start off healthy joint-->thinning of cartilage/bone spur/jagged edge in joint--> cartilage is destroyed, bone on bone, painful *cartilage is destroyed, new tissue is formed *begins at ago 20-30 y/o, don't see effects around age 50. -Osteoporosis= brittle, less dense bone. OsteoCLAST activity is > OsteoBLAST= bone loss/breakdown, don't know it's occurring until loss is significant. *1/2 women have fx r/t osteoporosis *1/4 men have fractures r/t osteoporosis --> fx most often in spine, hips, and wrists --> start to see gradual bone loss at 35 --> greatest loss seen when when go through menopause ---> disease of age

Tertiary prevention and tx osteoporosis and osteoarthritis:
OSTEOPOROSIS: -stop smoking (if already have smoking problem) -continue exercise adequate nutrition -decrease ETOH -BIPHOSPONATES: help slow resorption (breakdown) of calcium from the bone *these meds absorb best on empty stomach, take first thing in AM 30 min before breakfast & sit up after taking, drink water -------------------------------- OSTEOARTHRITIS: -pain management -assistive devices -meds: NSAIDs, Ibu= 2800-3200 mg/day (r/f kidney tox), naproxen q12h BID, **ACETAMINOPHEN USED MO. OFTEN= 325mg, 500mg, 650mg; 3800-4000 mg/day (r/f liver tox) -capsaicin (chili pepper) -corticosteroid... big needle -lidocaine topical tx -or possible joint replacement
Secondary preventions and diagnostic studies of osteoporosis/osteoarthritis:
OSTEOPOROSIS: -BEST: DEXA/DXA scan (dual energy Xray; look at T&Z score) *women= get before 65 y/o or when post menopausal *don't tx osteopenia; just make sure pt. KNOWS it is present *if normal scan?= 10 yrs later *men= get done around 70 y/o CHECK LABS: -serum calcium -phosphorus -alkaline phosphatase -Vit D ---------------------------------- OSTEOARTHRITIS: -fall risk assessment -mobility assessment -screening *XRAY IS BEST HERE!!= can see joint spacing.
