The homecare nurse is making a home visit to a 51-year-old female client with a long-standing diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
 
  The nurse knows that the muscle wasting and weakness associated with the disease process are ultimately manifested as a failure of what normal process in muscle tissue?
  A)
  The contraction of the epimysium
  B)
  The surrounding of fascicles by perimysium
  C)
  Thick myosin and thin actin filaments sliding over each other
  D)
  The contraction of fascicles within myofibrils

Question 2

An occupational therapist conducts a group therapy program called MindWorks with older adults who have diagnoses of dementia and Alzheimer disease.
 
  The goal of the group is to slow the cognitive decline of clients by engaging them in regular, organized mental activity such as reading maps and solving puzzles. How would the program most likely be characterized?
  A)
  Primary prevention
  B)
  Secondary prevention
  C)
  Tertiary prevention
  D)
  Prognosis enhancement

Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The contraction of skeletal muscle tissue can be characterized as the sliding action of myosin and actin. Epimysium surrounds and plays a supportive role in the skeletal muscle, and perimysium similarly provides support but does not actively produce locomotion. Myofibrils are found within fascicles, not the opposite.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Interventions aimed at slowing the course of an already-diagnosed disease characterize tertiary prevention.
