2. A nurse asks a patient to describe his new onset of leg pain. He slept well through the night, but this morning he suddenly developed pain in his left lower leg that is red and too painful to touch. Nothing relieves the pain. Based on these data, the nurse suspects which disorder is causing this pain?
a. Rheumatoid arthritis
b. Osteoarthritis
c. Gout
d. Tendonitis
ANS: C

Feedback
A Patients with rheumatoid arthritis often have morning stiffness lasting 1 to 2 hours.
B Patients with osteoarthritis experience pain when bearing weight that is relieved by rest.
C Sudden onset of pain and erythema in the great toe, ankle, and lower leg suggests gout (also called gouty arthritis).
D Tendonitis may awaken the patient, especially when the patient is lying on the affected limb.

3. During a history, the patient reports having gout. Based on this information, what findings does the nurse anticipate during a focused assessment?
a. Warm, tender, and deformed wrists and peripheral interphalangeal (PIP) joints bilaterally
b. Edema, warmth, and redness of one great toe and pea-like nodules in the ear lobes
c. Enlarged and tender PIP or distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints on one or several fingers
d. Tenderness with pronation and supination of the elbow and point tenderness on the lateral epicondyle
ANS: B

Feedback
A This is a description of findings of a patient who has rheumatoid arthritis. Bilateral joint involvement is common.
B This is a description of gout. The pealike nodules are tophi, collections of uric acid in subcutaneous tissue.

c. Erythema in one great toe, ankle, and lower leg that is painful to the touch
d. Hot, painful, deformed, and edematous wrists and peripheral interphalangeal joints bilaterally
ANS: D

Feedback
A This examination finding is more consistent with bursitis.
B This examination finding is more consistent with osteoarthritis.
C This examination finding is more consistent with gout.
D The history and these examination findings are consistent with rheumatoid arthritis. Joints are involved bilaterally in rheumatoid arthritis because it is a systemic autoimmune disorder.

5. In assessing a patient with a history of poliomyelitis, the nurse suspects the right leg muscles are smaller than the left leg. What is the best approach for the nurse to confirm or reject this suspicion?
a. Palpating both legs using the pads of the thumb and index fingers and comparing one side with another
b. Using a tape to measure each leg’s circumference at the same location, above or below the nearest joint
c. Using a goniometer to measure the upper and lower legs with the patient in supine and standing positions
d. Palpating the legs using the tips of the thumb and index fingers, and comparing the findings with the Lovett scale
ANS: B

Feedback
A This describes an appropriate procedure to determine tenderness of muscles, but not muscle size.
B This technique is correct, provides a baseline for future comparisons, and provides measurements for side-to-side comparisons.
C The goniometer is used to measure the degree of joint flexion and extension rather than muscle size.
D The Lovett scale is used to grade and record muscle strength, rather than muscle size.

6. In assessing the joint range of motion of a patient’s knees, the nurse notices the flexion is less than expected in both knees. What is the next appropriate action for the nurse?
a. Documenting this finding as expected for this patient because it occurs in both knees
b. Palpating the suprapatellar pouch on each side of the quadriceps for contour, tenderness, and edema
c. Using a goniometer to measure the flexion in both knees and comparing the results with expected flexion
d. Applying opposing force to the lower leg while the patient tries to maintain flexion and extension
ANS: C

Feedback
A This is not an expected finding. Even when the finding is bilateral, when it is abnormal, additional examination is needed.
B This is the procedure for palpating the knees, in which data are collected, but it may not have a direct bearing on the lack of flexion of the knees.
C When a joint seems to have increased or decreased range of motion, use a goniometer to measure the angle.
D This is the procedure for testing leg muscles for strength, in which data are collected, but it may not have a direct bearing on the lack of flexion of the knees.

ANS: D

Feedback
A The nurse would test the triceps muscle strength by having the patient extend the arm and resist while the nurse tries to push the arm to a flexed position.
B The nurse would test the muscle strength of the biceps by having the patient flex the forearm while the nurse applies resistance.

8. To assess the triceps and biceps muscle strength, the nurse applies resistance to the patient’s arm. What should be done to ensure the appropriate muscle is being assessed?
a. The patient pushes up against the nurse’s hand to abduct the triceps muscle and pushes down against the nurse’s hand to adduct the biceps muscle.
b. The patient pushes forward against the nurse’s hand to extend the triceps muscle and pulls backward against the nurse’s hand to flex the biceps muscle.
c. The patient pulls backward against the nurse’s hand to flex the triceps muscle and pushes forward against the nurse’s hand to extend the biceps muscle.
d. The patient pushes up against the nurse’s hand to abduct the biceps muscle and pushes down against the nurse’s hand to adduct the triceps muscle.
ANS: B

Feedback
A Abducting and adducting test range of motion rather than muscle strength.
B This is the correct technique for assessing these muscles.
C This is a reversal of the correct technique.

9. The nurse notes that there is an audible clicking sound when the patient opens and closes the mouth. What is the appropriate response of the nurse at this time?
a. Recording this as an abnormal finding, requiring additional assessment
b. Measuring the distance between each side of the mandible and the eyes
c. Applying resistance to the maxilla and asking the patient to repeat the motion
d. Documenting this finding as expected if no other signs or symptoms are found
ANS: D

Feedback
A This would be an incorrect action because clicking of the mandible with no other associated signs or symptoms is a normal finding.
B This is not a correct assessment technique to use.
C This is not a correct assessment technique to use.
D The mandible should move smoothly and painlessly. An audible or palpable snapping or clicking in the absence of other symptoms is not unusual.

20. With the patient lying supine, a nurse raises the patient’s leg to flex the hip. The patient complains of pain when the leg is raised to 40 degrees. The nurse correlates this finding with which disorder?
a. Lumbar nerve compression
b. Cervical disk herniation
c. Osteoarthritis
d. Bursitis
ANS: A

Feedback
A To evaluate for nerve root irritation or lumbar disk herniation, perform straight leg raises. Pain in the back of the leg with 30 to 60 degrees of elevation indicates pressure on a lumbar peripheral nerve by an intervertebral disk.
B Straight leg raises evaluate for herniated disks, but not in the cervical disks in the neck.
C Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of articular cartilage that affects weight-bearing joints such as vertebrae, hips, knees, and ankles. Straight leg raises is not a technique to assess for osteoarthritis.

1. Which findings are expected from a musculoskeletal assessment of a left-handed healthy adult? Select all that apply.
a. Cervical concave, thoracic convex, and lumbar concave contours of the spine
b. Muscle strength of 3/5 bilaterally
c. Circumference of left upper arm larger than right upper arm
d. Lumbar and thoracic spine flexion of 75 degrees
e. External rotation and abduction of left arm of 90 degrees
f. Flexion of right and left knees of 90 degrees
ANS: A, C, D, E
Correct: Cervical concave, thoracic convex, and lumbar concave contours of the spine are expected findings of the spine. The circumference of the left upper arm larger than the right upper arm is considered an expected finding because this patient is left-handed, which may account for the increase in circumference. Lumbar and thoracic spine flexion of 75 degrees is an expected finding of the spine. Ninety-degree external rotation and abduction of the left arm is an expected finding of the spine.
Incorrect: The expected muscle strength is 5/5. The expected flexion is 120 degrees.
