Question

a patient/resident who is unable to reposition him/herself is at risk for developing serious complications involving several body systems. match the likely complication with the body system

blood clots; decreased blood flow

lack of stimulation, anxiety, feelings of isolation

pressure ulcers/decubitus ulcers/bed sores

pneumonia, decreases respiratory efforts, decreased o2 of blood

incontinence, uti, reduced kidney function

contractures, weakness, brittle bones

constipation, decreased appetite, incontinence

Explanation:

• Blood clots; decreased blood flow: The cardiovascular system is responsible for blood circulation. Blood clots and decreased blood flow directly relate to the heart and blood vessels which are part of this system.
• Lack of stimulation, anxiety, feelings of isolation: The nervous system (including the brain) is involved in processing emotions, sensations, and responses to the environment. These psychological - related symptoms are associated with the nervous system.
• Pressure ulcers/decubitus ulcers/bed sores: The integumentary system consists of the skin. Pressure ulcers occur on the skin, so they are related to this system.
• Pneumonia, decreases respiratory efforts, decreased O2 of blood: The respiratory system (pulmonary system) is in charge of gas exchange (taking in oxygen and expelling carbon dioxide). Pneumonia affects the lungs (a major organ of the respiratory system), and decreased respiratory efforts and blood oxygen levels are respiratory - related.
• Incontinence, UTI, reduced kidney function: The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Incontinence (related to bladder control), UTI (urinary tract infection), and reduced kidney function are all urinary system - related.
• Contractures, weakness, brittle bones: The musculoskeletal system is made up of muscles and bones. Contractures (muscle shortening), weakness (muscle - related), and brittle bones (bone - related) are associated with this system.
• Constipation, decreased appetite, incontinence: The digestive system (GI or gastrointestinal system) is responsible for food digestion and waste elimination. Constipation (related to bowel movements), decreased appetite (related to digestive processes), and fecal incontinence (if we consider the lower part of the digestive tract) are digestive system - related.

Answer:

• blood clots; decreased blood flow - cardiovascular system
• lack of stimulation, anxiety, feelings of isolation - nervous system
• pressure ulcers/decubitus ulcers/bed sores - integumentary system
• pneumonia, decreases respiratory efforts, decreased O2 of blood - respiratory system (pulmonary system)
• incontinence, UTI, reduced kidney function - urinary system
• contractures, weakness, brittle bones - musculoskeletal system
• constipation, decreased appetite, incontinence - digestive system (GI or gastrointestinal system)
