Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The synovial joint, or true joint, is a freely movable joint in which contiguous bony surfaces are covered by articular cartilage and are connected by ligaments lined with a synovial membrane. The synostotic joint refers to bones jointed by bones. No movement is associated with this type of joint. In the cartilaginous joint, or synchondrosis joint, cartilage unites bony components. When bone growth is complete, the joints ossify. The fibrous joint, or syndesmosis joint, is a joint in which a ligament or membrane unites two bony surfaces, permitting a limited amount of movement only.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The best way to promote normal defecation is to assist the patient into a posture that is as normal as possible while defecating. Using a mobility device promotes nurse and patient safety. Elevating the head of the bed would be appropriate if the patient were to void with a bed pan. However, the patient's condition does not require use of a bed pan. Giving the patient a pillow may reduce discomfort, but this is not the best way to promote defecation. A soaps suds enema is indicated for a patient who needs assistance to stimulate peristalsis. It promotes non-natural defecation.
