Answer to Question 1
ANS: C
The immobilized patient often becomes depressed because of changes in role and self-concept. Every patient responds to immobility differently. Immobility or bed rest frequently affects coping and creates sleep-wake alterations because of changes in routine or in the environment. Because immobilization removes the patient from a daily routine, he or she has more time to worry about disability. Worrying quickly increases the patient's depression, causing withdrawal. Withdrawn patients often do not want to participate in their own care.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: D
The term gait describes a particular manner or style of walking. Activity tolerance is the type and amount of exercise or work that a person is able to perform. Body alignment refers to the position of the joints, tendons, ligaments, and muscles while standing, sitting, and lying. Range of motion is the maximum amount of movement available at a joint in one of the three planes of the body: sagittal, frontal, or transverse.
