Musculoskeletal Assessment
What is the function of the Cerebellum?
Provides balance and coordination
How is Muscle Strength graded?
5/5 - Normal or full strength
4/5 - Good strength
3/5 - Fair strength
2/5 - Poor strength
1/5 - Trace strength
0/5 - Zero strength
What does 5/5 (full) strength mean?
The pt moves joints through full range of motion and against gravity with full resistance
What does 4/5 (good) strength mean?
Pt completes ROM against gravity with minimal resistance.
What does 3/5 (fair) strength mean?
Pt completes ROM against gravity only
What does 2/5 (poor) strength mean?
Pt completes full ROM with gravity eliminated
What does 1/5 (trace) strength mean?
Pt’s attempt at muscle contraction is plapable but without joint movement.
What does 0/5 (zero) strength mean?
No evidence of muscle contraction.
WOUND INTEGUMENTARY ASSESSMENT
What are Bloodborne Pathogens?
Microorganisms carried in the blood and body fluids that are capable of infecting other persons with serious and difficult to treat viral infections.
Ex: HIV, Hepatitis
What is Antiseptic Hand Rub?
It reduces the number of microorganisms present
What is Alcohol Based Hand Rub?
It decreases viable organisms. Can be used up to 10-15 times then perform hand hygiene.
What is Antimicrobial Soap?
It decreases the number of microbial flora.
What are the Five Moments for Hand Hygiene?
1.- Before touching a patient
2.- Before clean/aseptic procedures
3.- After body fluid exposure risk
4.- After touching the patient
5.- After touching patient surroundings.
What are Standard Precautions?

- Airborne (Respitator)
- Droplet (mask 3ft of pt)
- Contact (gown, gloves, facial)
What are Nosocimial Infections?
Infections that are associated with the delivery of health care services . - Developed in the hospital setting.
What are Medical Asepsis?
Practices intended to confine a specific microorganism to a specific area, limiting the number, growth and transmition of microorganisms.
What are Surgical Asepsis?
- Sterile technique
- Practices that keep an area or object free of all microorganisms
*Used for all procedures involving sterile areas of the body.
What is a Sterile Field?
An area free of microorganisms.
What are Fomites?
Objects or materials that are likely to carry infection, such as clothes, utensils, and furniture.
EX: Sneezing and coughing
