   • Are you experiencing symptoms such as weakness, pain, swelling, redness, warmth, or stiffness?
2. Question 2
   • Provocation and palliation
   • Region and radiation
   • Quality
   • Understanding
3. Question 3
   • When did the pain first start?
   • Is the pain aching, throbbing, sharp, or dull?
   • Does the pain radiate to another area?
   • Is the pain constant or intermittent?
4. Question 4
   • Have you changed your preferred sleeping position?
   • Do you prefer walking or sitting during leisure time?
   • Have you ever had a broken bone, strain, or injury to a muscle, joint, tendon, or ligament?

5. Question 5
   • A preference for warm or cool rooms
   • A recent change in meal timing
   • A history of osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis
   • A history of seasonal allergies
6. Question 6
   • Both findings should automatically be considered expected for age.
   • Age should not be considered when interpreting musculoskeletal findings.
   • The older adult should have greater joint mobility than the child.
   • The child’s finding may relate to a recent injury, whereas the older adult’s finding may reflect a chronic baseline condition.
7. Question 7
   • Spinal curvature and stance
   • Pupil response and visual acuity
   • Speech clarity and hearing level
   • Bowel sounds and abdominal contour
8. Question 8
   • Ask the patient to lie down and raise both arms.
   • Ask the patient to remain seated while the examiner moves both legs.
   • Ask the patient to run, stop, and squat.
   • Ask the patient to walk away, turn, and walk back while observing gait and balance.
9. Question 9
   • A hot, tender joint
   • Marked asymmetry between corresponding body parts
   • Symmetrical size and contour without swelling or deformity
   • A visible contracture in one extremity
10. Question 10
    • Only while the patient is lying prone
    • Only after completing all strength testing
    • After asking the patient to sit
    • Before observing the patient’s posture
11. Question 11
    • Erect posture and a normal gait
    • No tenderness and equal muscle strength
    • Unsteady walking and poor balance during turning
    • Symmetrical joints and full active movement
12. Question 12
    • Assume the finding is normal in every older adult.
    • Ignore the finding if the patient can walk.
    • Test maximal resistance before documenting the finding.
    • Compare the corresponding joint and extremity for symmetry.
13. Question 13
    • Crepitus
    • Foot drop
    • Muscle twitch
    • Kyphosis
14. Question 14
    • No redness
    • Symmetrical contour
    • Erythema over a joint
    • No swelling
15. Question 15
    • To assess skin temperature at rest
    • To assess gait and balance during ambulation
    • To measure joint circumference precisely
    • To determine the patient’s dietary intake
16. Question 16
    • The patient cannot voluntarily move a joint through its usual movement.
    • The joint makes a painless popping sound.
    • The corresponding joints appear symmetrical.
    • The examiner cannot move a joint after the patient relaxes.
17. Question 17
    • Contracture
    • Symmetrical extremities
    • Full active movement without difficulty
    • Normal gait
18. Question 18
    • Movement a patient voluntarily achieves without assistance
    • Movement measured only after resistance is applied
    • Movement that occurs only when gravity is eliminated
    • Movement produced entirely by the examiner
19. Question 19
    • Passive ROM with joint stabilization
    • Gait observation while standing
    • Active ROM with increased resistance
    • Bilateral hand-grip testing
20. Question 20
    • To provide a stable base while the other hand gently moves the joint
    • To increase resistance until the muscle fatigues
    • To prevent the patient from reporting discomfort
    • To replace inspection of the joint contour
21. Question 21
    • It confirms that passive ROM is restricted.
    • It is always evidence of a fracture.
    • It is a crackling or popping sound that may be normal when painless.
    • It indicates normal muscle strength.
22. Question 22
    • Pain with movement is an expected finding.
    • The joint must have normal passive ROM.
    • Pain with movement is an unexpected finding requiring documentation.
    • The finding demonstrates full resistance strength.
23. Question 23
    • Active ROM is examiner-assisted; passive ROM is voluntary.
    • Both terms describe only movement against resistance.
    • Active ROM measures voluntary movement; passive ROM measures movement provided by the examiner.
    • Both terms describe gait and balance rather than joint movement.
24. Question 24
    • Continue movement until the patient reports severe pain.
    • Apply maximal resistance while the patient holds the joint still.
    • Stabilize the joint and gently move it to its limit.
    • Move the joint rapidly beyond the patient’s limit.
25. Question 25
    • The patient has symmetrical muscle contours.
    • The patient voluntarily stops moving because of weakness, but the examiner can move the joint farther.
    • The examiner cannot gently move the joint through the expected movement.
    • A painless popping sound occurs during movement.
26. Question 26
    • The sound is associated with pain.
    • The sound is crackling.
    • The sound occurs during joint movement.
    • The patient is being assessed while seated.
27. Question 27
    • Support helps avoid pain or muscle spasm.
    • Support allows the examiner to apply full resistance.
    • Support replaces comparison of bilateral sides.
    • Support guarantees a normal ROM result.
28. Question 28
    • Active movement only when gravity is eliminated
    • Active movement against gravity but not resistance
    • Active movement against gravity and full resistance
    • No muscle contraction
