NPTE Review Questions 1 2023 A+ A note in a patient's medical record indicates a specific drug is taken through enteral administration. Which of the following is an example of enteral administration? inhalation injection topical oral - Answer-oral administration is considered the easiest form of taking medication when self medication is required and is relatively safe since drugs enter the system in a fairly controlled manner A patient is position in supine with the hips flexed to 90 degrees and knee extended. As the patient slowly lowers her extended legs toward the horizontal there is an increase in lordosis of the low back. This finding is indicative of weakness of the? hip flexors back extensors hip extensors abdominals - Answer-abdominals in a clinical trial, pt height is measured in centimeters and weight is measured in kg. What inference can the PT make about the scale of measurement for height and weight? ratio ordinal nominal interval - Answer-ratio scale has an absolute zero point A PT attempts to select an appropriate intervention to treat a pat with a 10 degree limitation in knee extension. Which of the following mobilization technique would be indicated? lateral glide of the patella caudal glide of the patella posterior glide of the tibia anterior glide of the tibia - Answer-anterior glide of the tibia A pt with a right radial head fx is examined in PT. The pt's involved elbow ROM begins at 15 degrees and ends at 90 degrees flexion. The PT should record the elbow ROM as? 0-15-90 15-0-90 15-90 0-90 - Answer-15-90 A PT attempts to improve a pt's LE strength. Which PNF technique would be the most appropriate to achieve PT's goals? contract relax repeated contractions rhythmic stabilization hold-relax - Answer-repeated contractions A PT instructs a pt dx with RC tendonitis in transverse plane resistive exercises. Which motions would be appropriate based on the given information? abduction and adduction flexion and extension medial and lateral rotation pronation and supination - Answer-medial and lateral rotation A pt is limited in passive ankle DF whe the knee is extended, but not limited when the knee is flexed. The most logical explanation is? tight gastroc tight soleus tight popliteus tight gastoc/ soleus - Answer-tight gastroc Which of the following electrodiagnostic test would be most helpful in dx CTS? electroencephalography evoked potentials nerve conduction velocity electromyography - Answer-nerve conduction electroencephalography - Answer-seizure activity, metabolic disorders and cerebellar lesions evoked potentials - Answer-electrical activity recorded from the presentation of a stimulus, used in dx MS electromyography - Answer-used to assess peripheral N injuries and to differentiate b/w various neuromuscular disorders Most appropriate iontophoresis for pain with patellar tendonitis? acetic acid lidocaine sodium chloride zinc oxide - Answer-lidocaine- (+) charged ion to treat pn and inflammation Talar tilt test examines which ligament after an inversion sprain? anterior talotibial calcaneofibular deltoid posterior talotibial - Answer-calcaneofibular Assuming normal development which reflex would not be integrated in a 7 month old? ATNR Moro reflex Landau reflex STNR - Answer-Landau reflex (superman)- begins 3 mo old not integrated until 2 yr old ATNR - Answer-0-6 mo Moro reflex (startle reflex) - Answer-28 wks- 5 mo STNR - Answer-6-8 mo As part of a cervical exam the pt attempts to screen for possible VBI but is unable to position the pt's head and neck in the recommended test position. Most appropriate action is to? complete test in approximately 50% of available ROM complete test in available ROM as tolerated avoid test until pt has full ROM avoid direct cervical treatment techniques until the VBI test can be completed - Answercomplete test in available ROM Which sensation is most affected with deficits in the anterolateral spinothalamic system? barognosis kinesthesia graphesthesia temperature - Answer-temperature barognosis - Answer-dorsal columns kinesthesia - Answer-dorsal columns perception of the body's movement through space graphesthesia - Answer-dorsal columns ability to "read" a number by having it traced on the skin Which factor has the greatest influence on a 13 year old's possible ACL ligament reconstruction? anthropometric measurements hamstring/ quadriceps strength ratio skeletal maturity somatotype - Answer-skeletal maturity- because this surgery can have an impact on potential bone growth PT identifies a bluish discoloration of the skin and nailbeds of a 55 year old male for pulmonary rehab. What does this objective finding indicate? hyperoxemia hyperoxia hypokalemia hypoxemia - Answer-hypoxemia- PaO2 less than 80 mm Hg Which of the following would be the most appropriate action to enhance the quality of patient care? offer CEU to senior therapists in relation to experience divide the CEU resources evenly establish a committee to review requests for CEU courses prioritize requests for CEU resources based on established pt care standards - Answerprioritize requests for CEU resources based on established pt care standards Normal BMI is considered as? 14-18.5 18.5-24.9 25-29 30-35 - Answer-18.5-24.9 Most likely ACL autograft site when scar is on the anterior surface of the R knee? semitendinosus and semimembranous semitendinosus and gracilis semimembranosus and gracilis semitendinosus and biceps femoris - Answer-semitendinosus and gracilis- often used together as a graft for ACL PT strokes the cheek of a one month old causing the infant to turn its mouth towards the stimulus. This action is utilized to assess the? moro reflex rooting reflex startle reflex righting reflex - Answer-rooting reflex- primitive reflex that is present form 28 wks- 3 mo What is the appropriate force to decrease lumbar spasms? 10% of BW 15% of BW 25% of BW 50% of BW - Answer-25% A pt is unable to provide specific information about a knee surgery she had 2 weeks ago. What is the PT's most appropriate action? initiate treatment based on results of the examination initiate treatment based on an established protocol following knee surgery initiate treatment, however, avoid resistive exercises delay treatment until orders are received from the referring physician - Answer-delay treatment until orders are received from the referring physician Which finding would be most likely based on the pt's status of dehydration? increased coagulation time decreased Hct increased BUN decreased Hgb - Answer-increased BUN-used to assess kidney function and an increase can indicate dehydration, renal failure or heart failure What is the most appropriate method of transfer w/c to mat of a 4 day status post transtibial amputation? 2 person lift hydraulic lift stand pivot sliding board - Answer-stand pivot b/c the pt can bear wt through at least one LE To minimize the action of the biceps during supination what is the best position to place the elbow in? 30 degrees of elbow flexion 60 degrees of elbow flexion 90 degrees of elbow flexion terminal elbow flexion - Answer-terminal elbow flexion because the biceps is maximally shortened A compensation for weak abductors is? hip hiking of the unaffected side lateral trunk flexion towards the affected side lateral trunk flexion towards the unaffected side hip extension of the affected side - Answer-lateral trunk flexion towards the unaffected side A patient is 25 late min to an IE 10 days s/p medial menisectomy. What is the most appropriate action? begin examination design a HEP consult physician ask the pt to reschedule - Answer-begin examination Which reflex could interfere with an infant's ability to roll?...
