While assessing the muscle tone of a client, the client demonstrates a full range of muscle motion against gravity with some resistance. what score on the lovett scale can be given to the client? a. fair (f)b. good (g)c. trace (t)d. normal (n)

b. Good (G). This Lovett score is given to the client when the client produces full range of motion (ROM) against gravity showing some resistance.

Explanation:

A Fair score is given to those clients who exhibits a full ROM against gravity offering no resistance. A Trace score is given to clients who does not exhibit full ROM but shows slight contractility with no movement. A Normal score on Lovett scale is produced by a client who shows full resistance against gravity with full ROM.

answer: b. complete secondary assessment (detailed physical exam).

after you finished the primary assessment, you must proceed with the assessment by performing a complete detailed physical examination.

this secondary assessment includes a focused on patient’s history, vital signs and a specific and rapid examination of the entire body especially on the injuries acquired from the motor vehicle accident and the patient’s medical complaint.
