Activity & Exercise Flashcards
(21 cards)
What are some developmental factors affecting movement and alignment in ADULTS
-Physical health( muscular, skeletal, or nervous system)
-Lifestyle( poor diet, attitude/ values, stress, fatigue)
-Mental health
-Congenital defects
-Inflammation
-Trauma ( MVA, abuse)
-Deficiencies( Vitamin D)
What are some factors that affect the musculoskeletal and nervous system
-Bad posture
-Arthritis
-Body mass
-Bone deformities or diseases ex(osteoporosis…)
-Neurological conditions ex(epilepsy..)
-Degeneration
-Cancers
-Deficiencies( Vitamin D)
What are some developmental factors affecting movement and alignment in INFANTS & CHILDREN
-Developmental delays
-Growth spurts( puberty)
-Trauma/ neglect
-Congenital/ genetic(achondroplasia: dwarfism d/t premature bone growth)
-Disease(Paget’s)
-Neurological conditions ex(epilepsy..)
-Deficiencies( Vitamin D)
As a nurse how would you assess for movement changes in older adults
gait, posture, alignment, joint function, muscle tone, strength, and endurance.
As a nurse how would you assess for alignment changes in older adults
Balance/gait, muscle or nerve damage, pain/ fatigue, trauma, posture, psychological factors
What are ISOTONIC exercises( provide examples)
muscle shortening and active movement.
Ex: ADLs, independent ROM, swimming, jogging, biking
What are ISOMETRIC exercises( provide examples)
muscle contraction without shortening
Ex: Yoga
What are ISOKINETIC exercises( provide examples)
muscle contraction with resistance
Ex: Rehab exercises, weight lifting
What is a potential benefit from isotonic exercise?
Increased muscle mass, tone, strength, joint mobility, cardiac and respiratory function, bone-building activity
What is a potential benefit from isometric exercise?
Increased muscle mass, tone, strength, circulation, increase osteoblastic activity
What is a potential benefit from isokinetic exercise?
Takes muscles through a complete range of motion
What are the effects of exercise and immobility on the Cardiovascular system
Exercise: Increases heart efficiency, lowers resting heart rate and blood pressure, improves circulation.
Immobility: Increases cardiac workload, risk for orthostatic hypotension, and venous thrombosis.
What are the effects of exercise and immobility on the Respiratory system
Exercise: Enhances respiration depth and rate, improves gas exchange, increases CO₂ excretion.
Immobility: Reduces respiration depth and rate, causes secretion pooling, and impairs gas exchange
What are the effects of exercise and immobility on the GI system
Exercise: Boosts appetite, enhances intestinal tone, and supports digestion.
Immobility: Leads to appetite disturbance, altered protein metabolism, poor digestion, and decreased peristalsis.
What are the effects of exercise and immobility on the GU system
Exercise: Improves kidney blood flow, maintains fluid and acid-base balance, enhances waste excretion.
Immobility: Causes urinary stasis, increases the risk of kidney stones, and weakens bladder muscles.
What are the effects of exercise and immobility on the metabolic system
Exercise: Enhances metabolic efficiency and body temperature regulation.
Immobility: Increases the risk of electrolyte imbalances and nutrient exchange issues.
What are the effects of exercise and immobility on the Musculoskeletal system
Exercise: Strengthens muscles, enhances coordination, and supports nerve transmission.
Immobility: Leads to muscle atrophy, reduced joint mobility, bone loss, and risk of contractures.
What are the effects of exercise and immobility on the Integumentary system
Exercise: Improves skin tone, color, and circulation.
Immobility: Increases the risk of skin breakdown and pressure injuries.
What are the effects of exercise and immobility on your physical well-being
Exercise: Increases energy, improves sleep, self-concept, and social interaction.
Immobility: Leads to powerlessness, low self-esteem, social withdrawal, depression, and helplessness.
What acronym would you use to aid you as a nurse in creating a care plan for a patient with activity intolerance
ADPIE:
Based on the assessment findings, the nurse formulates a nursing diagnosis of activity intolerance, which serves as a framework for developing a care plan.
Create a care plan for a patient with activity intolerance using ADPIE
ADPIE
Assessment- Collecting data: History, vitals, Head to toe assessment, subjective/objective data.
Diagnosis- A nursing diagnosis of activity intolerance refers to a clinical judgment made by a nurse indicating the client’s decreased ability to endure or perform physical activities.
Plan- Set SMART goals as tolerated by the patient, you want to improve but also monitor their intolerance by limiting adverse effects.
Implement- Provide, monitor, administer, educate, or preform activities related to the end goals set in place, comfort/ safety.
Evaluate- Set future goals and preventions, ensure effective pt teach, response to the exercises.
