Answer 1

The knee is a type of Hinge joint.

The knee is a modified hinge joint, a type of synovial joint, which is composed of three functional compartments: the patellofemoral articulation, consisting of the patella, or "kneecap", and the patellar groove on the front of the femur through which it slides; and the medial and lateral tibiofemoral articulations

you are the nurse who tests the patient's muscle strength, so after application of resistance tell the patient to extend the arm.

What are the 5 deep tendon reflexes and how are they scored?  1+ = a slight but definitely present response; may or may not be normal. 2+ = a brisk response; normal. 3+ = a very brisk response; may or may not be normal. 4+ = a tap elicits a repeating reflex (clonus); always abnormal.  The triceps reflex is mediated by the C6 and C7 nerve roots, predominantly by C7. With the lower leg hanging freely off the edge of the bench, the knee jerk is testedby striking the quadriceps tendon directly with the reflex hammer. Repeat and compare to the other leg.

Risk factors for breast cancer include which of the following?  E. All of the above
