Question
### Educational Content on Decreased Circulation and Wheelchair Mobility **Question 34: Prolonged wheelchair sitting may result in decreased circulation. Which of the following is a sign of decreased circulation?** - **Option A**: An increase in the number of hair follicles - **Option B**: Color changes in the lower extremities - **Option C**: An increase in sensory responses to touch - **Option D**: Ankle atrophy **Correct Answer**: **Option B: Color changes in the lower extremities** **Explanation**: When a person sits in a wheelchair for an extended period, they may experience decreased blood circulation, particularly in the lower extremities. One of the signs of reduced circulation is a change in color, which may indicate issues such as poor blood flow or potential skin breakdown. --- **Question 35: A patient sustained a stroke and can only use the right side of his or her body to maneuver the wheelchair, as the other side is paralyzed. The therapist asks you to bring a wheelchair to the patient. What kind of wheelchair would you bring?** In this scenario, the patient would benefit from a specialized wheelchair that can be easily maneuvered using only one side of their body. This often involves a one-arm-drive wheelchair, which is designed to allow users to propel and steer the wheelchair using one arm. --- Understanding signs of decreased circulation and the appropriate selection of wheelchairs for patients with specific needs is crucial for proper patient care and mobility management.
