PROJECT MA pioneers Integumentary-Physical-Therapy-1 question and answers 2024.

1. ABI of 0.8-1.0 shows a. No of arterial occlusion b. Some arterial occlusion c. Severe d. None 2. Ischemic ulcers are a. Arterial ulcers b. Venous ulcers c. Diabetic ulcers d. None 3. A patient with a venous stasis ulcer near the left medial malleolus is referred for physical therapy. Skin changes consistent with stasis dermatitis are evident in the lower leg. Physical exam reveals patent femoral, popliteal, and pedal pulses. An enlarged and dilated greater saphenous vein is evident in the standing position. The MOST important physical therapy intervention to consider for this patient is: a) Daily walking for 30-60 minutes. b) Elastic wraps without exercises. c) Daily warm water baths and exercise. d) Compression therapy with exercise. 4. If patient reports increase in pain with leg elevation, it shows a) Venous ulcers b) Lymphatic insufficiency c) Venous insufficiency d) None of the above 5. A patient is transferred to a burn clinic with deep partial-thickness burns over 30% of the body. Healing of this type of burn is characterized by: a) Blisters and minimal edema with spontaneous healing. b) Depressed skin area that heals with grafting and scarring. c) Moderate edema with spontaneous healing and minimal grafting. d) Marked edema with slow healing and extensive hypertrophic scarring. 6. Angiography is suggested if ABI is a) 0.8-1.0 b) >1 c) <1 d) <0.8 7. A 10-year old child with full thickness burns to both arms is developing hypertrophic scars The BEST intervention to manage these scars is: a) primary excision followed by autografts. b) application of custom made pressure garments. c) application of compression wraps. d) application of occlusive dressings. 8. During the initial examination of a client with an ulcer superior to the medial malleolus the physical therapist notes hemosiderinosis and liposclerosis. There are no signs of infection, there is minimal drainage, granulation is present, and the wound bed is clean except for a small amount of yellow fibrin deposits. The next action to take is: a) perform an ankle-brachial index. b) apply a four-layer bandaging system. c) apply an Unna boot.
