Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The most common back injury for nurses is strain on the lumbar muscle group, which includes the muscles around the lumbar vertebrae. While cervical, thoracic, and sacral can occur, lumbar is the most common.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Synovial joints, or true joints, such as the hinge type at the elbow, are freely movable and the most mobile, numerous, and anatomically complex body joints. Fibrous joints fit closely together and are fixed, permitting little, if any, movement such as the syndesmosis between the tibia and the fibula. Synergistic is a type of muscle, not joint. Cartilaginous joints have little movement but are elastic and use cartilage to unite separate bony surfaces such as the synchondrosis that attaches the ribs to the costal cartilage.
