    When do injuries most likely occur? Select all that apply:

    • A.

      When you perform tasks that require you to exert yourself forcefully

    • B.

      When you perform repetitive movements

    • C.

      When you maintain an awkward or static posture

    • D.

      When you are moving from bed to chair

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. When you perform tasks that require you to exert yourself forcefully
    B. When you perform repetitive movements
    C. When you maintain an awkward or static posture
    Explanation
    Injuries are most likely to occur when performing tasks that require forceful exertion, repetitive movements, and maintaining an awkward or static posture. These activities put strain on the body and can lead to muscle strains, sprains, and other injuries. Moving from bed to chair, on the other hand, does not inherently involve forceful exertion, repetitive movements, or maintaining an awkward or static posture, so it is less likely to result in injury.

    • D.

      Kinesiology

    Correct Answer
    B. Body Mechanics
    Explanation
    Body Mechanics is the correct answer because it refers to the field of physiology that studies muscular actions and the functions of muscles in maintaining the posture of the body. Body Mechanics involves understanding how the body moves and functions in order to prevent injury and promote efficient movement. It focuses on proper body alignment, posture, and movement techniques to reduce strain on muscles and joints.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    When lifting a patient, why are we asked to use our arms and legs and not our back?

    • A.

      There really is no difference between the use of back or arms and legs.

    • B.

      Arms and legs are more flexible than our back.

    • C.

      Leg muscles are stronger, larger muscles capable of greater work without injury.

    • D.

      The arms and legs have a better leverage to pull a weight.

    Correct Answer
    C. Leg muscles are stronger, larger muscles capable of greater work without injury.
    Explanation
    Using our arms and legs instead of our back when lifting a patient is recommended because leg muscles are stronger and larger, capable of handling greater work without getting injured. The back muscles, on the other hand, are not as strong or stable, and excessive strain on them can lead to injuries such as sprains or strains. By utilizing the strength and stability of our leg muscles, we can distribute the weight more evenly and reduce the risk of back injuries.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What is the approximate measurement needed to keep a wide base of support?

    • A.

      1.5 times the length of the shoes

    • B.

      1.5 inches between our feet

    • C.

      1.5 times the width of our feet

    • D.

      1.5 feet from the object we are lifting

    Correct Answer
    A. 1.5 times the length of the shoes
    Explanation
    To maintain a wide base of support, it is necessary to have a measurement that is 1.5 times the length of the shoes. This means that the distance between the feet should be wider than the length of the shoes by a factor of 1.5. This wider base of support helps to provide stability and balance, especially when lifting or carrying objects. It ensures that the body remains steady and reduces the risk of falling or losing balance.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    _____________muscles and the ____________system maintain equilibrium, or balance, which facilitates appropriate body alignment when lifting, bending, moving, and doing other activities.

    • A.

      Skeletal, nervous

    • B.

      Cardiac, propiocetary

    • C.

      Tissue, vestibular

    • D.

      Striated, skeletal

    Correct Answer
    A. Skeletal, nervous
    Explanation
    The skeletal muscles and the nervous system work together to maintain equilibrium and facilitate appropriate body alignment during various activities. Skeletal muscles are responsible for movement and providing support to the body, while the nervous system controls muscle contractions and coordinates movement. This coordination between the skeletal muscles and the nervous system ensures that the body maintains balance and proper alignment while lifting, bending, moving, and engaging in other activities.

    • A.

      Chin is high and parallel to the floor.

    • B.

      Abdomen is tightened (internal girdle) in and up with gluteal muscles tucked in.

    • C.

      Feet are spread apart for a broad base of support

    • D.

      Center of gravity is at the lowest quadrant of extremities

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Chin is high and parallel to the floor.
    B. Abdomen is tightened (internal girdle) in and up with gluteal muscles tucked in.
    C. Feet are spread apart for a broad base of support
    Explanation
    A good position for body mechanics includes having the chin high and parallel to the floor, which helps maintain proper alignment of the spine and neck. The abdomen should be tightened, acting as an internal girdle, which helps stabilize the core and maintain proper posture. Tucking in the gluteal muscles further supports the stability of the lower back. Feet should be spread apart for a broad base of support, which increases stability and balance. The center of gravity should be at the lowest quadrant of extremities, as this provides a stable foundation for movement.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following is contraindicated against good body mechanics? 

    • A.

      Avoid bending from the waist because this will in time strain the lower back.

    • B.

      Work at a height or level that is comfortable and easy for you

    • C.

      Carry objects away from the midline of your body and try to reach as far as possible.

    • D.

      Know the maximum weight that is safe to carry

    Correct Answer
    C. Carry objects away from the midline of your body and try to reach as far as possible.
    Explanation
    Carrying objects away from the midline of the body and reaching as far as possible is contraindicated against good body mechanics because it puts unnecessary strain on the muscles and joints. This can lead to muscle imbalances, increased risk of injury, and poor posture. It is important to keep objects close to the body and use proper lifting techniques to maintain good body mechanics and minimize the risk of injury.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    In order to prevent thrombophlebitis, we teach our patient not to _____________. 

    • A.

      Cross their eyes when sleeping

    • B.

      Cross their arms when standing up

    • C.

      Cross their legs when sitting

    • D.

      Cross the road while the train is passing

    Correct Answer
    C. Cross their legs when sitting
    Explanation
    Crossing the legs when sitting can lead to compression of blood vessels and impede blood flow, increasing the risk of thrombophlebitis. Thrombophlebitis is the inflammation of a vein caused by a blood clot formation. By avoiding crossing their legs, patients can maintain proper blood circulation and reduce the likelihood of developing this condition.

    Injuries at work may take place because of the following reasons. Choose all that apply: 

    • A.

      Repetitive movements

    • B.

      Awkward static posture

    • C.

      Wrong body mechanics

    • D.

      Regular use of lifts and other devices

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Repetitive movements
    B. Awkward static posture
    C. Wrong body mechanics
    Explanation
    Injuries at work may occur due to repetitive movements, awkward static posture, and wrong body mechanics. Repetitive movements involve performing the same motion repeatedly, which can strain muscles and joints over time. Awkward static posture refers to maintaining an uncomfortable position for extended periods, leading to muscle fatigue and strain. Wrong body mechanics involve using incorrect techniques when lifting or carrying heavy objects, increasing the risk of injury. Regular use of lifts and other devices can actually help reduce the risk of injuries by promoting proper body mechanics and reducing strain on the body.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Ways to protect back injury. Select all that apply. 

    • A.

      Bending knees and hips before lifting

    • B.

      Avoid bending from the waist

    • C.

      Avoid twisting

    • D.

      Put left foot forward before lifting

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Bending knees and hips before lifting
    B. Avoid bending from the waist
    C. Avoid twisting
    Explanation
    To protect against back injury, it is important to bend the knees and hips before lifting. This helps to engage the leg muscles and take some of the strain off the back. Avoiding bending from the waist is also crucial as it puts excessive pressure on the lower back. Twisting while lifting should be avoided as it can strain the back muscles and potentially cause injury. However, putting the left foot forward before lifting is not a recommended way to protect against back injury.

    Rate this question:

  • 15.

      Position feet 6 to 8 inches apart

    • B.

      Align and balance weight on one foot

    • C.

      Flex knees slightly

    • D.

      Contract abdominal muscles in and up

    • E.

      Face your work area

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Position feet 6 to 8 inches apart
    C. Flex knees slightly
    D. Contract abdominal muscles in and up
    E. Face your work area
    Explanation
    This answer is correct because it includes all the actions that promote proper body mechanics. Positioning the feet 6 to 8 inches apart helps to maintain stability and balance. Flexing the knees slightly reduces strain on the back and allows for better weight distribution. Contracting the abdominal muscles helps to support the spine and maintain good posture. Finally, facing the work area ensures that the body is properly aligned and reduces the need for twisting or reaching.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    We know that a patient understands how to prevent thrombophlebitis when ......

    • A.

      He agrees to be repositioned in bed every 2 hours.

    • B.

      He needs to cough out phlegm to foster patient respiration.

    • C.

      He does not cross legs when sitting.

    • D.

      He agrees to do ROM exercises daily.

    Correct Answer
    C. He does not cross legs when sitting.
    Explanation
    When a patient understands how to prevent thrombophlebitis, it means that they are aware of the risk factors and are taking appropriate measures to avoid it. Crossing legs when sitting can restrict blood flow and increase the risk of developing blood clots, which can lead to thrombophlebitis. Therefore, if the patient agrees to not cross their legs when sitting, it indicates that they have a good understanding of how to prevent thrombophlebitis.

      Well balanced diet and adequate intake

    • B.

      Reposition at least every two hours and early ambulation

    • C.

      Use of antiembolism measures

    • D.

      Reduction of activities and encouragement of sleep

    • E.

      Maintain proper body alignment

    Correct Answer
    D. Reduction of activities and encouragement of sleep
    Explanation
    Reduction of activities and encouragement of sleep is not a proper intervention against the effects of immobility because immobility can lead to muscle weakness, decreased range of motion, and other physical complications.
