Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should suggest a continuous passive motion machine to the client who recently underwent hip surgery. A continuous passive motion machine is an electrical device used as a supplement or substitute for manual ROM exercises. Machine-assisted ROM sometimes is preferred during the rehabilitation of clients who have experienced burns or have had knee or hip replacement surgery, because the machine precisely controls the degree of joint movement and can increase it in specific increments throughout recovery. The other types of exercise do not include specific safety limits on the client's joint motion.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Isometric exercise consists of stationary exercises generally performed against a resistive force. Isometric exercises increase muscle mass, strength, and tone and define muscle groups. Although they improve blood circulation, they do not promote cardiorespiratory function. The nurse should suggest isotonic exercises in order to maintain cardiorespiratory conditioning and increase lean muscle mass. Passive exercises help to maintain flexible joints. Isometric exercise is not primarily intended to prevent ankylosis.
