peripheral arterial disease from participating in an ambulation exercise program?
1. Signs of resting claudication
2. Decreased peripheral pulses
,3. Cool skin upon palpation

following patients would MOST likely benefit from the use of this image?

measure the patient's Q angle. Which three bony landmarks should the assistant use to
measure the Q angle?
1. Anterior superior iliac spine, superior border of the patella, tibial tubercle
2. Anterior superior iliac spine, midpoint of the patella, tibial tubercle
3. Anterior superior iliac spine, inferior border of the patella, midpoint of the patella tendon
4. Greater trochanter, midpoint of the patella, tibial tubercle
2. Flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor carpi ulnaris
A PTA assesses a patient's pulse as depicted in the video. This pulse is bordered by which of the
following structures?
1. Flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollicis longus
2. Flexor digitorum superficialis and flexor carpi ulnaris
3. Extensor digitorum and extensor carpi ulnaris
4. Extensor carpi ulnaris and extensor pollicis longus
,3. Spondylolisthesis
A patient reports experiencing an increase in low back pain following ballistic activities. The
patient previously participated in competitive gymnastics, however, reports that her back was
unable to tolerate the intensity of training. Based on the x-ray, which of the following medical
conditions should the PTA MOST suspect?
1. Spondylitis
2. Spondylolysis
3. Spondylolisthesis
4. Spondyloptosis
3. Diastolic blood pressure= 86 mm Hg
A patient reports that their physician encouraged them to initiate healthy lifestyle
modifications rather than prescribing medicine to lower blood pressure. Which blood pressure
value would BEST support the physician's action?
1. Systolic blood pressure= 116 mm Hg
2. Systolic blood pressure= 142 mm Hg
3. Diastolic blood pressure= 86 mm Hg
4. Diastolic blood pressure= 92 mm Hg
1. Myelomeningocele
A PTA working with a pediatric population suspects a patient's allergic reaction to latex is
associated with their medical condition. Which of the following medical diagnoses would be the
MOST likely to have latex allergies?
1. Myelomeningocele
2. Cerebral palsy
3. Down syndrome
4. Muscular dystrophy
, 3. Suggest that the patient write down questions for the physician and bring them to the next
scheduled visit
A patient informs a PTA how frustrated they feel after being examined by their physician,
reporting that they become so nervous that they cannot ask any questions during scheduled
office visits. Which of the following responses is the MOST appropriate if the desired outcome
is for the patient to be a more active participant?
1. Offer to go with the patient to their next scheduled physician visit
2. Offer to call the physician and ask any relevant questions
3. Suggest that the patient write down questions for the physician and bring them to the next
scheduled visit
4. Tell the patient it is a very normal response to be nervous in the presence of a physician
3. Place a rolled towel under the ankle
A patient performs an exercise as depicted in the video. Which modifications to the exercise
would be the MOST appropriate to assist with regaining knee hyperextension?
1. Reposition the patient in long sitting
2. Increase the force of the muscle contraction
3. Place a rolled towel under the ankle
4. Add a cuff weight to the distal femur
2. Center of mass
Which of the following components of balance would be MOST impacted by a patient using the
suspensory strategy to control their balance?
1. Line of gravity
2. Center of mass
3. Base of support
4. Limits of stability
