Advanced Nursing MCQs (C1–C2 Level)

Which principle of body mechanics primarily prevents injury to both nurse and patient during lifting?

• Use of upper arm strength

• Keep the object away from the body

• Bend at the waist

• Maintain a wide base of support

The line of gravity must fall within the base of support to:

• Enhance flexibility

• Maintain balance

• Increase joint mobility

• Strengthen muscle tone

A nurse instructs a patient to bend the elbow and then straighten it. This movement demonstrates:

• Abduction and adduction

• Rotation

• Flexion and extension

• Circumduction

Which of the following is an example of active range of motion (AROM)?

• Nurse moves the patient’s limb without assistance

• Patient independently performs joint movements

• Nurse assists the patient slightly with movement

• Joints are immobilized to reduce pain

Prolonged immobility leads to:

• Muscle hypertrophy

• Increased joint flexibility

• Pressure ulcers

• Increased metabolic rate

Which factor directly affects mobility in older adults?

• Increased bone density

• Improved muscle tone

• Decreased joint flexibility

• Accelerated healing rate

Which nursing intervention promotes safe patient transfer?

• Lifting with a curved spine

• Pulling the patient without support

• Keeping objects close to the body

• Twisting the trunk during movement

A client confined to bed for 2 weeks is most at risk for:

• Tachycardia

• Muscle atrophy

• Increased cardiac output

• Hypotrophy

The best position to promote lung expansion in an immobile patient is:

• Supine

• Semi-Fowler’s

[Activity & Exercise] Which nutrient is vital to prevent bone deformities and maintain mobility?

• Vitamin C

• Vitamin D

• Vitamin K

• Iron
