Which of the following are common signs and symptoms of the eating disorder bulimia? (Select all that apply.)

Name each of the labeled ligamentous structures in this image.  A – spring ligament (calcaneonavicular) B- plantar fascia C – long plantar ligament D – short plantar ligament (calcaneocuboid)

Physical signs of aging usually begin in the late 30s. Physical signs of aging begin to slow after one reaches the age of approximately:

The nurse is caring for a client who is a single mother of two young children, has no financial or parental support from her ex-husband, is troubled by her financial circumstances and future, and works at a local fast-food restaurant. She is seeking help for depression. What is the nurse’s best action?

This image is of the plantar interossei muscles.  Concentric contraction of these muscles will result in what motion? toe adduction

The fibrous capsule of the knee joint is only located: posteriorly

Which knee ligament would prevent anterior translation of the femur about the tibia? posterior cruciate ligament *I got several emails about this one.  Anterior translation of the femur about the tibia would be the femur sliding forward on top of the tibial plateau…imagine a book sliding off the edge of the front of a table.  The PCL would get tighter the more forward the femur moved on top of the tibia.  

Identify the labeled muscles in this cross-section of a leg.  A – extensor digitorum longus B – tibialis posterior C – flexor digitorum longus D – peroneus/fibularis longus E – soleus F – gastrocnemius lateral head

Describe the joint motion/position of the right/left ankles, right/left knees, and right/left hips of the person shown in this image.  ***Yes, I do realize this person is wearing pants and you cannot perfectly see the knees and hips.  Please use good judgement, common sense, anatomically based predictions, and feel free to explain your answers as needed.*** R Hip: abducted / L Hip: externally rotated R Knee: extended (perhaps slightly flexed) ; L Knee: slightly flexed R Ankle: inverted / L Ankle: slightly dorsiflexed due to slight knee flexion *This was the minimum information necessary for full credit.  More elaborate/detailed answers (e.g., the right hip is also slightly flexed and possibly internally rotated) are A-OK as long as the info is correct.  The biggest error I found in grading this questions was that MANY folks described the right ankle as supinated.  (A) Supination is an action that occurs at the ankle and the foot; (B) Supination involves plantarflexion and that ankle is not even a little plantarflexed…in fact you can see the tendon for tibialis anterior popping out on this gentleman’s shin, and that muscle gives dorsiflexion and inversion.  This is a beautifully inverted ankle.  (Important side note: A number of you referenced the tibialis anterior tendon as evidence that the knee was extended.  Please make sure you understand that a muscle will only have an action at a joint if it crosses the joint…and the tibialis anterior does not cross the anterior knee.)   *It is important to evaluate individuals performing movements IN clothes because it is VERY rare that anyone you work with will be wearing a speedo (or the like).  Using visuals like the left toes turned out as a clue that the HIP is externally rotated is a useful tool for your toolkit.
