Effects of Immobility on Body Systems
Effects of Immobility on Body Systems ( 5 Questions)
Which physiological effect of immobility can lead to impaired circulation and increased risk of deep vein thrombosis?
Decreased respiratory function is a different effect of immobility and can lead to respiratory complications such as atelectasis or pneumonia.
Decreased muscle strength is another effect of immobility but is not directly associated with an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis.
Immobility can lead to decreased cardiac output due to reduced activity and muscle contraction. This can result in impaired circulation, increased venous stasis, and an elevated risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Decreased bone density is a consequence of immobility, but it is not specifically related to impaired circulation and DVT.
