Nurse Arthur is assessing a 47-year-old client who has come to the physician’s office for his annual physical.
One of the first physical signs of aging is:
a- having more frequent aches and pains.
b- failing eyesight, especially close vision.
c- increasing loss of muscle tone.
d- accepting limitations while developing assets.

Answer C.
A pleural friction rub, heard in the lateral portion of the lungs during both inspiration and expiration, produces a squeaking or grating sound.
Other abnormal sounds may clear with coughing, but pleural friction rubs don’t.

Signs of muscle loss:

1- Tension and difficulty performing exercise:
You may feel that your exercise is more difficult and you may not want to do it, as you may notice that your strength is less.

2- Slow down during daily activities:
Low muscle mass leads to impaired body function when performing normal daily activities due to lack of energy and over-training.

3- Do not lose fat in your body:
If you lose weight, but your body fat remains the same, it may be a sign of muscle loss instead of fat.

4- Rapid weight loss:
Losing weight requires a long period of time and patience, as a person should lose only one kilogram a week.
