The functions of the vertebral column include:

  1. Protects the spinal cord: The vertebral column encases and safeguards the spinal cord, which is a crucial part of the central nervous system.

  2. Allows for movement of the skull and trunk: The vertebral column provides a flexible structure that permits a range of movements for the skull and trunk, including bending, twisting, and rotating.

  3. Supports the skull and trunk: The vertebral column acts as the main structural support for the body, bearing the weight of the skull and trunk and maintaining an upright posture.

The function "Allows for movement of the lower limbs" is not directly a function of the vertebral column. While the vertebral column provides the necessary support and structure for the body, the movement of the lower limbs is primarily facilitated by the hip joints, muscles, and lower limb bones.

In summary, the correct functions of the vertebral column are:

  • Protects the spinal cord
  • Allows for movement of the skull and trunk
  • Supports the skull and trunk

Question 11 of 20 The 40-year-old client is admitted for repair of a femoral fracture. The client discloses a history of an addiction to painkillers and asks that the nurse assist in adhering to the recovery from this addiction by not administering any opioids.
