describes the mode of action of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors? - Reduction of
peripheral vascular resistance and increase in venous capacitance
MMT of hip extension with the knee bent
what mm> - Gluteus maximus
L1 myelomeningocele has developed scoliosis over the past 2 years. The curve currently measures 25°.
Which of the following recommendations is MOST appropriate for scoliosis management? - Fit the child
with a thoracolumbosacral orthosis.
This child is too young for surgery for scoliosis. The ideal minimum age for spinal fusion is 10 to 11 years
old in girls and 12 to 13 years old in boys.
Orthotic intervention, usually with a thoracolumbosacral orthosis, is helpful in maintaining improved
trunk position for functional activities. For children with progressive spinal deformities, orthotic
intervention is continued until the child reaches a sufficient age (10+ years) to allow surgical fusion of
the spine. (Palisano, pp. 547-548)
2. Stretching programs have not been found to halt or improve scoliosis. If stretching exercises are
performed, they should focus on the iliopsoas and low back extensors and lateral trunk flexors on the
concave side of the curvature. (Goodman, pp. 1167-1168)
intact area of the skin that is black and leathery
Stage? - This presentation would indicate the presence of eschar. A pressure injury with eschar cannot
be staged
Stage 1 pressure injury - An intact area of the skin that is warm and purple
A shallow crater with a moist wound bed
Stage? - Stage 2 pressure injury
, assist a 20-year-old patient who has Duchenne muscular dystrophy in maintaining independence? -
Power wheelchair training over various surfaces
A 20-year-old patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy is likely to require a power wheelchair for
functional mobility due to the progressive nature of the disease (Tecklin, p. 362). Typically, by age 14
years, boys who have Duchenne muscular dystrophy are not ambulatory and require power-assisted
mobility. The transition to adulthood marks a time of continued progressive disability with a greater
reliance on assistive technologies such as a power wheelchair (Palisano, p. 254).

pronation rearfoot position, which of the following will MOST likely be observed? - Genu valgus with
tibial medial (internal) rotation
grade II injury to the right medial collateral ligament of the elbow 3 weeks ago
status of the healing tissue? - 4.Disorganized and unable to withstand high tensile forces
A grade II ligament injury requires significant repair, and, although the tissue is beginning to organize at
3 weeks, it is not fully organized and is deficient in tensile strength.
What conditions? - Central vestibular system lesion
A patient who has a central vestibular system lesion, in particular a cerebellar lesion, may have pure
vertical nystagmus that oscillates at equal speeds (pendular nystagmus). In addition, abnormal smooth
pursuits and abnormal saccadic eye movements are symptoms associated with a central vestibular
lesion.
