Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

By definition, pronation is moving the bones of the forearm so the palm faces downward when held in front of the body. The joint involved in pronation is the elbow.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4
The purpose of continuous passive motion mechanical devices is to prevent blood from accumulating in the joint, reducing edema and pain. They also are thought to prevent scar tissue formation, improve regeneration of joint cartilage, maintain joint ROM, and accelerate the recovery period. However, use of the continuous passive motion mechanical device requires bed rest, so the client does not get out of bed as quickly after surgery.
