The nurse is providing a client with information regarding the functions of muscles and determines that learning has occurred when the client states:
 
  1. Smooth muscles are controlled voluntarily.
  2. Smooth muscles help me walk.
  3. Skeletal muscles are controlled by internal mechanisms.
  4. Skeletal muscles respond to my voluntary wishes.

Question 2

The nurse is assessing an older client who is having an annual assessment. In order to assess age-related changes of the musculoskeletal system, the nurse should assess:
 
  1. the client's weight.
  2. vital signs
  3. the client's height.
  4. the client's normal urine output.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4

1. Smooth muscles are controlled by internal mechanisms.
2. Smooth muscles function involuntarily, such as the beating of the heart and functioning of the bladder.
3. Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles.
4. Skeletal muscles respond to the client's needs and wishes.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

1. The client's weight is likely to increase due to a decrease in activity, but that does not have a direct impact on the client's skeletal system.
2. Vital signs do not reflect changes in the musculoskeletal system.
3. Females in particular lose bone mass as a part of the normal aging process, lose height over time, and can have a stooped appearance.
4. Urine output is not a reflection of the musculoskeletal system.
