Muscular rigidity.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B,D,E

A. Bradykinesia (slowness of movement) is a hallmark symptom of Parkinson's disease and will directly affect the client's mobility, requiring intervention to assist with movement and prevent falls.

B. Stooped posture is common in Parkinson's disease and can contribute to impaired balance and increase the risk of falls, making interventions for posture and mobility necessary.

C. Orthostatic hypotension is not specifically a mobility issue, but it can affect the client's overall safety and risk for falls. It may require monitoring and interventions to address blood pressure changes, but it is not as directly related to mobility as the other symptoms.

D. Shuffling, propulsive gait is a typical motor symptom of Parkinson's disease and increases the risk of falls, necessitating planning for interventions to improve gait and balance.

E. Muscular rigidity is another classic symptom that can limit the client's mobility, causing difficulty with movement, and requires interventions to improve range of motion and reduce stiffness.

Correct Answer is {"dropdown-group-1":"B","dropdown-group-2":"A","dropdown-group-3":"B"}

Explanation

The client has a history of trauma with abdominal injury (lacerations to the liver and spleen) and blood in the peritoneum, indicating significant internal bleeding.

Hypovolemia (low blood volume) occurs due to blood loss from the injured organs, leading to low blood pressure (90/79 mmHg) and tachycardia (HR 128 bpm). The low hemoglobin (9.3 g/dL) and low hematocrit (30%) are consistent with either acute blood loss or hemodilution due to intravenous fluid resuscitation, which can temporarily dilute blood components. The normal clotting times (PT 11.5 sec, PTT 64 sec) do not indicate disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and there is no evidence of acidosis in the provided data.
