Manske: Fundamental Orthopedic Management for the Physical Therapist Assistant, 5th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Who is responsible for carrying out prescribed selected interventions, patient
supervision, data collection, and appropriate supervision of a patient during physical therapy?
a. Physical therapist (PT)
b. Physical therapist assistant (PTA)
c. Nursing assistant
d. Medical doctor
CORRECT ANSWER B
The PTA is responsible for carrying out prescribed selected interventions, patient supervision,
data collection, and appropriate problem-solving and clinical decision making.
2. Which of the following is NOT a purpose of the clinical patient supervision process?
a. To gather relevant information and data
b. To establish and enhance rapport, trust, and confidence
c. To prescribe interventions the patient requires
d. To assist in the management of the patient
CORRECT ANSWER C
PTAs do not prescribe interventions for the patient. The PTA observes, documents, and
discusses patient observations with the PT.
3. Select the open-ended question.
a. What is your pain level today on a scale of 1-10?
b. When did the pain begin?
c. Tell me about the time that you injured knee.
d. When did you take your last pain medication?
CORRECT ANSWER C
The open-ended question leads the patient to say more than yes or no. Open-ended questions
provide much richer details about the incident or experience.
4. Which of the following statements is true regarding the working environment of PTAs?
~3~
, a. PTAs work in isolation with their patient assignments.
b. PTAs work with a team of experts in all areas of a patient’s care.
c. PTAs work only with the PT in providing therapy.
d. PTAs are the most important people on the rehabilitation team when providing therapy.
CORRECT ANSWER B
The PTA must be aware of the key members of the rehabilitation team. Occupational therapists,
PTs, nurses, respiratory therapists, psychologists, and audiologists are only a few of the
important members of the rehabilitation team. The PTA does not work in isolation.
5. Which of the following statements would be used in a discussion with a patient?
a. “Your blood pressure is 150/90 which indicates hypertension and could lead to a
cerebral vascular accident if you don’t take your medications.”
b. “Your blood pressure is higher than normal today, 150/90. Did you take your blood
pressure medication this morning?”
c. “The doctor prescribed a beta-blocker for you a month ago. Has that been helping your
blood pressure?”
d. “The combination of your calcium-channel blocker and beta-blocker do not seem to be
controlling your blood pressure. Let’s call the doctor.”
CORRECT ANSWER B
The PTA should learn to communicate openly, freely, and in a professional manner. The PTA
must employ appropriate and professional medical terminology with professional people—but
use familiar (lay) terms to describe the same condition to a patient or a family member.
Avoiding the use of medical jargon (hypertension, beta-blocker, calcium-channel blocker) with
patients is required by PTAs.
6. How can a PTA demonstrate accountability in their practice?
a. Maintain timely documentation about patient interventions.
b. Maintain good rapport with patients.
c. Continue their education past their initial degree.
d. Report all findings to the supervising PT so that modifications can be made in response
to changes in patient status.
CORRECT ANSWER D
PTAs are responsible for reporting all findings to the supervising PT so that modifications can be
made in accordance with changes in patient status.
7. Which type of questioning would you use to find facts or obtain specific responses from
a patient about an injury to a limb or joint?
a. Open-ended questions
