Week 4 Discussion

DQ1 As an instructor, you are working with a nursing learner to develop a problem-focused exam involving the musculoskeletal system and extremities.  Formulate potential questions to support the learner in soliciting specific information about the patient related to past history, drugs that may adversely affect the musculoskeletal system, family history, psychosocial profile. Provide rationale.

DQ2 The goal of a complete musculoskeletal assessment is to detect risk factors, potential problems, or musculoskeletal dysfunction early and then to plan appropriate interventions, including teaching health promotion and disease prevention, and implement treatment measures. By doing so, you can play a signi?cant role in preventing pain and dysfunction in your patients. Describe a plan to provide patient teaching that incorporates health promotion and disease prevention. Provide rationale.
