Question 1 of 5
The nurse teaches a client that there are shock absorbers in the back to cushion the spine and to help it move. The client understands that which of the following is another name for shock absorbers:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Intervertebral disks. These disks act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae, cushioning the spine and helping it move. They are made of a tough outer layer called the annulus fibrosus and a gel-like inner core called the nucleus pulposus. The other choices are incorrect because: A. Vertebral column refers to the entire spine, not just the shock absorbers. C. Vertebral foramen is the opening through which the spinal cord passes, not related to shock absorption. D. Nucleus pulposus is part of the intervertebral disk, not another name for shock absorbers.
