Identify a passive tissue that could be exposed to continued plastic stress (deformation). Explain the deformation process in relation to the type of stress applied. This is often seen in persons with inactive dynamic spinal stabilizing mechanisms who spend large amounts of time in a static posture.

Category: Physiological Adaptation In a postoperative unit, a nurse is caring for a client who has recently undergone a laminectomy to relieve spinal cord compression. The client is alert but has been instructed to minimize movement to prevent post-surgical complications. In addition to monitoring for the usual postoperative signs such as infection or bleeding, which technique should the nurse use to reposition the client to promote comfort and prevent injury safely? A. Logroll the client carefully to maintain spinal alignment, ensuring that the head, back, and legs move as one unit. B. Assist the client to dangle on the side of the bed before standing to promote circulation and reduce the risk of orthostatic hypotension. C. Encourage the client to use an overhead trapeze when self-repositioning to enhance independence and strengthen upper body muscles. D. Instruct the client to perform gentle range-of-motion exercises to the lower extremities to prevent venous stasis and deep vein…
