Effects of Immobility on Body Systems
Effects of Immobility on Body Systems ( 5 Questions)
Which respiratory complication is commonly associated with immobility?
Hyperventilation refers to an increased rate or depth of breathing and is not typically associated with immobility.
Immobility can lead to reduced lung expansion, shallow breathing, and inadequate ventilation, which can result in hypoxia or decreased oxygenation of tissues.
Hypotension refers to low blood pressure and is not directly related to respiratory complications caused by immobility.
Hypertension refers to high blood pressure and is not directly associated with respiratory complications caused by immobility.
Immobility can lead to reduced lung expansion, shallow breathing, and inadequate ventilation, which can result in hypoxia or decreased oxygenation of tissues.
Incorrect choices:
a. Hyperventilation refers to an increased rate or depth of breathing and is not typically associated with immobility.
c. Hypotension refers to low blood pressure and is not directly related to respiratory complications caused by immobility.
d. Hypertension refers to high blood pressure and is not directly associated with respiratory complications caused by immobility.
