PEAT 2 Practice Exam Questions and Answers
100% Correct
Normal WBC count range
Normal= 4,500-11,000
-leukocytosis= greater than 11,000-15,000
-immunosuppression (leukopenia)= less than 4,000
Ankle Brachial Index normal value and interpretations for < and >
-Ankle-brachial index is a ratio of the systolic blood pressure at the ankle and the brachial
systolic pressure
-Normal value of the ankle-brachial index is 1.0
-1.1 or greater= arterial calcification (higher pressure in ankle d/t inc arterial resistance)
-<1.0= severe arterial occlusion, arterial aneurysm, arterial thrombosis (less pressure in ankle)
A patient is practicing moving from seated to standing position. Which of the following
transfers to standing position would BEST facilitate motor learning of the task?
1.From a single chair at a self-selected speed, with minimal feedback of results
2.From a single chair at a variety of speeds, with maximum feedback of results
3.From a variety of chairs at a single speed, with maximum feedback of results
4.From a variety of chairs at a variety of speeds, with minimal feedback of results
4.From a variety of chairs at a variety of speeds, with minimal feedback of results
Motor learning principles suggest that psychomotor skills are best learned when practice
conditions allow errors to occur, when performers are encouraged to engage in active sensory
encoding and retrieval processes and when knowledge of results is used minimally. Such
,practice typically involves varying the task, varying the environment in which the task occurs,
and providing minimal feedback of results
Changes in the level of which hormone are MOST likely to contribute to development of
chondromalacia patella in a pregnant woman?
1.Calcitonin
2.Progesterone
3.Relaxin
4.Insulin
3.Relaxin
Chondromalacia is a roughening of the cartilage behind the kneecap, and relaxin causes an
increase in tendon and ligament laxity, exacerbating any friction between the patella and the
femur
Which of the following positions of the humerus is BEST for application of an ultrasound
treatment to the supraspinatus tendon insertion?
1.Flexion and lateral (external) rotation
2.Extension and medial (internal) rotation
3.Abduction and lateral (external) rotation
4.Flexion and medial (internal) rotation
2.Extension and medial (internal) rotation
Extension and medial (internal) rotation of the shoulder puts the supraspinatus tendon in the
most accessible position.
bc its shortest in this position?
, Multilayered compression bandaging is CONTRAINDICATED in the presence of which of the
following clinical signs?
1.A positive Stemmer sign
2.A deep, dry, regularly shaped wound
3.A superficial, irregularly shaped, exudative wound
4.Presence of papillomas and hyperkeratosis
2. Multilayered compression bandaging or "lymphedema bandaging" is a technique used to
provide compression therapy during the first phase of complete decongestive therapy. A
wound that is deep, regularly shaped, and dry is most likely an arterial wound. Compression
therapy is contraindicated for management of edema in the presence of peripheral arterial
disease
-compression is an important intervention for venous ulcers (#3)
-#1 and #4 indicate lymphedema, which is appropriate for this intervention
Which of the following dressings is MOST appropriate to use with an infected wound that
also requires hemostasis?
1.Foam
2.Alginate
3.Transparent film
4.Hydrocolloid
2. An alginate dressing is best to use in this case because this type of dressing provides both
hemostasis and is appropriate for use over an infected wound
-foam is absorptive but also creates an occlusive environment not appropriate for infections
-transparent films do not provide hemostasis or infection control, best used for friction
reduction
-hydrocolloids also create occlusive environment not good for infections
