RCTX 3240 FINAL EXAM 2026/2027 | COMPLETE STUDY GUIDE, PRACTICE
QUESTIONS & COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
the CTRS has assessed her patient at admission for depression. she has developed RT
interventions to address coping and mood enhancement. the CTRS wishes to measure her
patients depression level at discharge & determine the effectiveness of her interventions, the
patient miraculously wins the state lottery while he is admitted to the facility. the CTRS's
attempt to measure the effectiveness of her interventions now must control for what type of
threat to the reliability and validity of her assessment? - ANS ✔✔history
which of the following psychometric descriptors would be LEAST likely to be associated with
standardized assessments?
a. agency specific instruments
b. objective
c. commercially available
d. less dependent on the skills of the person administering - ANS ✔✔agency-specific
instruments
which of the following ICF components COULD NOT have 3 qualifiers to describe a component?
- ANS ✔✔body function
to determine if an instrument is accurate at diagnosing or predicting a clients standing, the CTRS
would be MOST concerned with what type of validity? - ANS ✔✔criterion validity
which statement is FALSE in describing assessment in RT?
A. assessment and measurement are separate functions without a direct relationship
B. assessment is a systematic procedure
C. most assessment instruments are STILL agency-specific w/o psychometric evidence
,D. assessment can be used for research purposes - ANS ✔✔assessment and measurement are
separate functions without a direct relationship
according to your textbook, what attribute level is best describes as " a body of cognitive info
applied directly to the performance of function?" - ANS ✔✔Knowledge

Which of the following statements generally tends to be TRUE related to individuals with autism
spectrum disorder?
A. All of these statements are true.
B. They process information more quickly than individuals without the diagnosis
C. The vast majority of individuals have cognitive impairments that significant affect their
intelligence level.
D. They think visually rather than linguistically - ANS ✔✔NOT C- MAYB D?
Which of the following statements is TRUE about age-related changes in the skeletal system?
A. Increase in bone mass
B. All of these are correct descriptions of age-related changes.
C. Surfaces of cartilage become smoother
D. Water content in cartilage, tendons, and ligaments decreases. - ANS ✔✔D. Water content in
cartilage, tendons, and ligaments decreases.
, The age-related change that occurs in muscles and results in decreased muscle mass is referred
to as:
A. Sarcopenia
B. Contractility
C. Osteopenia
D. Osteoporosis - ANS ✔✔A. Sarcopenia
This characteristic of muscle provides people with the ability to lengthen or stretch
A. Excitability
B. Contractility
C. Elasticity
D. Extensibility - ANS ✔✔D. Extensibility
There tends to be an accelerated aging process (i.e. aging begins early) among individuals with
this diagnosis:
A. All of the above
B. Spina Bifida Occulta
C. Autism Spectrum Disorder
D. Down Syndrome - ANS ✔✔D. Down Syndrome
This is the rarest form of spina bifida, and occurs when the spinal cord remains intact, but the
fluid surrounding the spinal cord is pushed out the vertebrae in a sac.
