What angle is Semi-Fowler's position? - Answer-HOB 30 degrees
What angle is High-Fowler's position? - Answer-HOB 90 degrees
This is when the head of the bed is elevated 90 degrees and an overbed table with a
pillow on top is positioned in front of the patient. Have the patient lean forward, resting
his arms and head on the pillow. This position is helpful for a patient with shortness of
breath. - Answer-Orthopneic position
This involves muscle contraction without motion. These exercises are usually performed
against an immovable surface or object; for example, pressing the hand against a wall.
Each position is held for 6-8 seconds and repeated 5-10 times. This is effective for
developing total strength of a muscle or group of muscles. It requires no special
equipment and there is little chance of injury. Patients who are bed bound can use
these exercises to maintain or regain muscle strength. - Answer-Isometric exercise
This involves movement of the joint during the muscle contraction. A classic example is
weight training with free weights. As the weight is moved throughout the range of
motion, the muscle shortens and lengthens. Calisthenics, such as pull-ups, push-ups,
and planks, all of which use body weight as resistance force. - Answer-Isotonic exercise
This occurs when the amount of oxygen taken into the body meets or exceeds the
amount of oxygen required to perform the activity. This uses large muscle groups, can
be maintained continuously, and is rhythmic in nature. It increases the heart and
respiratory rates, thereby providing exercise for the cardiovascular system while
simultaneously exercising the skeletal muscles. Jogging, brisk walking, and cycling are
common forms this. - Answer-Aerobic Exercise
This occurs when the amount of oxygen taken into the body does not meet the amount
of oxygen required to perform the activity. Therefore, the muscles must obtain energy
from metabolic pathways that do not use oxygen. Rapid, intense exercises such as
lifting heavy objects and sprinting are examples of this. - Answer-Anaerobic exercise
