PEAT Exam 2 Questions With Correct
Answers
1. A physical therapist examining wrist-joint play finds restriction in the
| | | | | | | | | | |
direction indicated by the arrow (downward). (The forearm in
| | | | | | | | |
midposition with the ulnar side resting on the table and the hand at the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
edge of the table, palm facing you.) The therapist should suspect a
| | | | | | | | | | | |
decrease in which joint motion? | | | |
A. Radial deviation
| |
B. Ulnar deviation
| |
C. Flexion
|
Extension - ANSWER✔✔✔-A. | | |
The therapist is shown performing an ulnar glide which is the same joint
| | | | | | | | | | | |
|motion used for radial deviation. Limited motion in this direction
| | | | | | | | | |
indicates limited ability to perform radial deviation.
| | | | | |
1. The intervention for a patient with limitation of shoulder flexion and
| | | | | | | | | | | |
medial (internal) rotation includes mobilization. What glide is MOST
| | | | | | | | |
appropriate for mobilizing this shoulder to specifically increase the
| | | | | | | | |
restricted motions? |
,A. Posterior
|
B. Anterior
|
C. Medial
|
Lateral - ANSWER✔✔✔-A.
| | |
The most appropriate mobilization technique for increasing both
| | | | | | | |
shoulder flexion and medial (internal) rotation would be posterior
| | | | | | | | |
(dorsal) glide. Lateral glide may be used as a general joint distraction
| | | | | | | | | | | |
technique. Medial glide would not be appropriate to increase flexion
| | | | | | | | | |
and medial (internal) rotation. Anterior glide is used to increase
| | | | | | | | | |
extension and lateral (external) rotation.
| | | |
1. Which of the following techniques is MOST appropriate for a patient
| | | | | | | | | | | |
with low postural tone?
| | |
A. Slow regular rocking while sitting on a treatment bolster
| | | | | | | | |
B. Continuous pressure to the skin overlying the back muscles
| | | | | | | | |
C. Low-frequency vibration to the back muscles
| | | | | |
D. Joint approximation applied through the shoulders to the trunk -
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔✔-D. |
,Options A, B and C are techniques used to decrease postural tone,
| | | | | | | | | | | |
which is not indicated for this patient. Option D is the most appropriate
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
technique for improving low postural tone.
| | | | |
1. What skin change associated with aging has the GREATEST effect on
| | | | | | | | | | | |
wound healing?
|
A. Reduction in sensation
| | |
B. Decreased elasticity of the skin
| | | | |
C. Decreased epidermal proliferation
| | |
D. Change in pigmentation - ANSWER✔✔✔-C.
| | | | | |
Wounds heal via a complex process involving re-epithelialization. With
| | | | | | | | |
advanced aging, the rate of epidermal proliferation decreases.
| | | | | | |
1. Which of the following techniques is MOST effective in teaching a
| | | | | | | | | | | |
patient with insulin-dependent diabetes about foot care?
| | | | | |
A. Reassure the patient that no infections will occur if the directions are
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
followed, then demonstrate procedures.
| | |
B. Tell the patient how foot care is performed, then watch the patient's
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
performance.
, C. Watch the patient perform a foot inspection and caution him that
| | | | | | | | | | | |
amputations result from untended skin problems. | | | | |
D. Have the patient demonstrate a foot inspection, then give feedback
| | | | | | | | | | |
on the patient's performance. - ANSWER✔✔✔-D.
| | | | | |
Learning the process of foot care is a psychomotor skill and effective
| | | | | | | | | | | |
strategies to teach psychomotor skills include repeat demonstration by
| | | | | | | | |
the patient of the skill followed by feedback from the therapist to
| | | | | | | | | | | |
highlight what was performed correctly and what areas need
| | | | | | | | |
improvement, if any. Reassurance about prevention of infection with
| | | | | | | | |
proper foot care would primarily be a cognitive skill and does not ensure
| | | | | | | | | | | |
|that the patient can effectively perform proper foot care. Options B and
| | | | | | | | | | | |
C do not include feedback that informs the patient about their
| | | | | | | | | | |
performance.
1. Utilization review and peer review are activities that are a part of a
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
comprehensive:
A. policy and procedure manual.
| | | |
B. quality improvement program.
| | |
C. audit cycle.
| |
D. performance evaluation - ANSWER✔✔✔-B.
