Question 1 of 5

A school nurse is performing screening examinations for scoliosis. Which signs of scoliosis should the nurse assess for? Select all that apply.

Correct Answer: A,C,D

Rationale: The correct signs of scoliosis to assess for are lateral deviation and rotation of each vertebra, unequal rib heights, and chest asymmetry. Lateral deviation and rotation of each vertebra are characteristic of scoliosis as the spine curves sideways and may also rotate. Unequal rib heights can indicate spinal curvature, and chest asymmetry is often present due to the spinal deformity affecting the thoracic cage. The incorrect choices are equal rib prominences, equal shoulder heights, and equal waist angles. Equal rib prominences, shoulder heights, and waist angles are not typically seen in individuals with scoliosis as these signs suggest symmetry, which is not present in scoliosis.
