Question 1
Which federal act ensures that children with disabilities have access to appropriate education,
transition services, assistive technology, and rehabilitation counseling?
A) The Rehabilitation Act of 1973
B) The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
C) The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
D) The Civil Rights Act
E) The Social Security Amendments
Correct Answer: C) Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
Rationale: The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is specifically designed to
support children from birth through age 21. It mandates that schools provide a free and
appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment, including
necessary supports like assistive technology and transition services to prepare students for
adult life.
Question 2
How is a "real team" defined in a rehabilitation setting?
A) A large group of people working under one manager
B) A small number of people with complementary skills equally committed to a common
purpose and approach
C) A collection of individuals from the same discipline working on different tasks
D) An assembly of healthcare providers who meet once a year
E) A group of administrators who set the facility's budget
Correct Answer: B) real team
Rationale: A "real team" is distinguished by its size (usually small) and the synergy of its
members. Unlike a mere working group, members of a real team possess complementary
skills and hold themselves mutually accountable for a common set of goals and a shared
working approach.
Question 3
Which ethical principle describes the obligation of healthcare providers to act in a way that helps
people in need?
A) Autonomy
B) Justice
C) Nonmaleficence
D) Beneficence
E) Fidelity
, 2
Correct Answer: D) beneficence
Rationale: Beneficence is the ethical duty to "do good" and promote the well-being of
others. In rehabilitation, this involves providing treatments that actively improve the
patient's functional status and quality of life.
Question 4
A rehabilitation nurse ensures they do not cause unnecessary pain or injury during a range-of-
motion exercise. This follows which principle?
A) Veracity
B) Nonmaleficence
C) Justice
D) Beneficence
E) Paternalism
Correct Answer: B) the duty to do no harm
Rationale: Nonmaleficence is the fundamental bioethical principle of "do no harm." It
requires healthcare providers to avoid providing treatments that are ineffective or that
pose an undue risk of injury to the patient.
Question 5
What is the process of aligning and developing the capacity of a team to create the results its
members truly desire?
A) Team building
B) Groupthink
C) Team learning
D) Strategic planning
E) Collective bargaining
Correct Answer: C) team learning
Rationale: Team learning is a discipline where team members engage in dialogue and
shared thinking to develop a collective intelligence that exceeds the sum of individual
members' talents, ultimately allowing the team to achieve its specific desired outcomes.
Question 6
Which of the following represents a significant environmental barrier to independent living for a
patient with a C4 spinal cord injury?
A) Lack of interest in social activities
B) Availability of affordable, accessible housing
C) The patient's age
D) The patient's previous occupation
E) The presence of a family pet
, 3
Correct Answer: B) availability of affordable, accessible housing
Rationale: While many factors affect independence, individuals with high-level spinal cord
injuries (like C4) require significant physical modifications to their environment (ramps,
wide doorways, environmental control units). The scarcity of housing that is both
affordable and wheelchair-accessible is a major systemic barrier to community reentry.
Question 7
Which payment method involves paying a fixed amount based on the patient's admission
diagnosis, thereby shifting financial risk to the hospital?
A) Fee-for-service
B) Capitation
C) Prospective payment
D) Retrospective reimbursement
E) Sliding scale payment
Correct Answer: C) prospective payment
Rationale: Prospective payment systems (PPS) use predetermined fixed rates for specific
diagnoses (DRGs). If the hospital provides care for less than the fixed amount, it keeps the
difference; if the care costs more, the hospital absorbs the loss, encouraging efficiency and
cost containment.
Question 8
Which Christian sect is known for maintaining Saturday as their holy day of rest?
A) Catholicism
B) Lutheranism
C) Seventh-Day Adventist
D) Southern Baptist
E) Methodism
Correct Answer: C) seventh day adventist
Rationale: Seventh-Day Adventists observe the Sabbath from Friday sunset to Saturday
sunset. Rehabilitation nurses must be aware of this when scheduling therapy sessions or
discharge planning to respect the patient's religious practices.
Question 9
What is the best initial approach for a rehabilitation nurse who wants to become involved in
political activism?
A) Attempt to change all healthcare laws at once
B) Identify one specific issue of interest and take action on it
C) Quit their job to become a full-time lobbyist
D) Wait for the hospital to tell them what to do
E) Only vote in local elections
, 4
Correct Answer: B) identify one issue of interest and act on it
Rationale: Political activism can be overwhelming. The most effective way to start is by
focusing on a single issue (e.g., funding for disability services or nurse-to-patient ratios) and
engaging in specific actions like writing to a representative or joining a professional
organization's legislative committee.
Question 10
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 includes a mandate for which of the
following services to support the deaf?
A) Mandatory hearing aids for all citizens
B) Free television sets for every deaf person
C) 24-hour relay services provided by telephone companies
D) Mandatory sign language classes in all hospitals
E) Elimination of all landline telephones
Correct Answer: C) mandates 24 hour relay services by telephone companies...
Rationale: Title IV of the ADA requires telephone companies to provide telecommunications
relay services (TRS) 24 hours a day. This allows individuals with hearing or speech
disabilities to communicate with voice telephone users through a communications assistant.
Question 11
Which team model is considered UNCOMMON in modern rehabilitation practice due to its
hierarchical nature?
A) Multidisciplinary
B) Interdisciplinary
C) Transdisciplinary
D) Medical
E) Collaborative
Correct Answer: D) medical
Rationale: The traditional "medical model" is physician-centric and top-down. Modern
rehabilitation favors interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary models where goals are shared
and the patient/family are active participants rather than passive recipients of orders.
