Week 2 done

I am now officially CPR certified, for adults, children & infants.

I spent 1/2 hr lab time practicing ROMs today (range of motion)
Me & a classmate started singing "neck, elbow, wrist & hands;wrists & hands" to the tune of "head, fingers knees & toes" to help us remember which joints need to be hyperextended.

I keep wanting to say "exsistential" instead of extension..... is that weird or what?

let's see if I can do the list by memory:

Neck:
flexion
extension
hyperextention
lateral flexion
side to side

Shoulder:
flexion
extension
internal rotation
external rotation
abduction
adduction
circumvention

Elbow:
flexion
extension
hyperextension
supination
pronation

Wrist
flexion
extension
hyperextension
adduction
abduction

fingers:
flexion
extensio
hyperextension
abduction
adduction

thumb:
flexion
extension
abduction
adduction
opposition

Hip;
flexion
extension
abduction
adduction
internal rotation
external rotation
circumvection

knee:
flexion
extension

ankle:
dorsal flex
plantar flex

foot/toes:
inversion
eversion
flexion
extention
adbuction
adduction

I have to name each movement as I do it and name the joint it's for.

I need to know that I need to do ROM w/ clients 3-4 times a day, both sides of body, 5 reps on each joint.

I need to know that I have to support the joints while I am doing the ROMs

That, PLUS a test on 8 chapters in pharmacology on monday.....

Not mentioning what is due on Tuesday...hi-ya.....

Nubs!
