a. problems in functional activities.
b. restrictions in activities.
c. problems in physiological functions of body systems.
d. limitations in functional skills.
e. limitations in participation.
2. Evidenced-based practice should include:
a. expert opinion, continuing education, and personal experience.
b. intuition, unsystematic clinical experience.
c. explanations based on pathophysiology.
d. awareness, consultation, judgment, and creativity.
3. When possible, an examination should:
a. start with tests and measures in the clinical setting.
b. start with observation done in the natural environment while gathering history.
c. never be done in the waiting room.
d. start with determining the child’s strengths and weaknesses.
4. When developing the plan of care for a child, it is important to:
a. Determine goals and objectives before talking with the child and family.
b. Prescribe interventions focused on the child’s impairments.
c. Ensure goals and interventions address activity and participation.
d. Focus on measurable goals for the next 2 years.
5. In pediatric practice, a top-down approach to assessment is preferred because:
a. weaknesses are identified first, and it is child-centered.
b. desired outcomes are identified first, and it is family-centered.
c. it is the most common model used in physical therapy practice.
d. it is a deficit-driven model.
6. Chaining techniques work best:
a. with those with a cognitive impairment.
b. as negative reinforcement.
, c. as continuous reinforcement.
d. with discrete tasks having a clear beginning and end.
7. Reinforcing behaviors/skills that are increasingly closer to the desired behavior/skill are called:
a. negative reinforcement.
b. behavioral programming.
c. positive reinforcement.
d. shaping.
8. Collaborative teams:

objectives.

c. when Berta Bobath introduced a treatment for children with cerebral palsy.
d. during the polio epidemic in the early part of the 20th century.
10. External factors that may affect a child’s function include:
a. cognitive ability, emotional stability, motivation, and language ability.
b. impairments of body structures and functions and limitations in activities.
c. family support, access to health care, financial resources, and accessible schools.
d. family and child’s goals and objectives.
11. If one embraces the ICF model, no matter what setting a pediatric therapist is providing interventions
in (clinic, school, home, etc.), the primary long-term goal of physical therapy should be to:
a. maximize the child’s strength, range of motion, and posture in order to prevent
secondary impairments.
b. minimize all physical impairments to improve the child’s motivation and self-
confidence when among peers.
c. maximize the child’s participation in the home, school, and community.
d. walk up and down the stairs independently in less than 3 minutes while carrying
two textbooks in order to change classrooms in the time allotted between classes.
