2.7 A 46-year-old patient is receiving chemotherapy for the treatment of cancer. The
patient should limit participation in strenuous aerobic exercise if which of the following
laboratory test values is obtained? - Answer-1. White blood cell count = 8000 cells/mL
2. Hemoglobin = 8 g/dL
3. Fasting plasma glucose = 100 mg/dL
4. High-density lipoprotein = 60 mg/dL
Your Answer: 2
Correct Answer: 2
You have answered the question correctly.
1. The normal range for white blood cell count for healthy adults is 4,800-10,500
cells/mL. Modifications may be necessary for those individuals recovering after
chemotherapy if white blood cell count is less than 3000 cells/mL. If the individual has a
white blood cell count of 10,000 cells/mL with fever, that individual should not exercise.
(pp. 773.e162; 773.e302)
2. Effects of chemotherapy often include fatigue and cardiotoxicity. It is important to
monitor hematology values. For a patient who has a hemoglobin level of 8 g/dL,
guidelines are to participate in only light exercise. With a value less than 8 g/dL, the
patient should not exercise. (pp. 161-163)
3. A fasting plasma glucose level of 100-250 mg/dL is a safe level for exercise (pp.
773.e297-773.e298).
4. A value of 60 mg/dL for high-density lipoprotein is within the desired range for this
value and would not affect participation in exercise (p. 773.e306).
2.8 A patient who has chronic bronchitis reports long-term use of oral corticosteroids.
Which of the following complications is MOST likely for the patient? - Answer-

,2.12 Which of the following treatment settings provides the BEST environment for
learning for a patient in the cognitive phase of recovery after a cerebrovascular
accident? - Answer-1. One-on-one in the therapy gym
2. One-on-one in a private treatment area
3. Grouped with other patients doing similar tasks
4. Grouped with other patients doing different tasks
Your Answer: 3
Correct Answer: 2
You have incorrectly answered the question
1. Individuals in the cognitive stage would benefit from a quiet environment to focus on
new learning (p. 681).
2. The cognitive phase involves relearning of tasks and can require consistent attention
to a task (p. 680). Providing one-on-one treatment in a quiet setting void of distractions
is optimal for the patient to concentrate on the task (p. 681).
3. Working in a group will be too distracting and would not allow the patient to
concentrate on the visual and verbal learning required (p. 397).
4. A patient in the cognitive phase of recovery would be too distracted by other patients
performing different tasks and would be unable to concentrate on the task required (p.
397).
2.13 Which arthrokinematic motion of the patella is associated with knee extension? -
Answer-1. Inferior

2.14 Which of the following disorders is MOST likely to result in a persistent
asymmetrical tonic neck reflex and increased tone in the lower extremities? - Answer-1.
Down syndrome
2. Cerebral palsy
3. Myelomeningocele
, 4. Muscular dystrophy
Your Answer: 4
Correct Answer: 2
You have incorrectly answered the question
1. Hypotonia, not elevated tone, is a classic impairment associated with Down
syndrome (p. 384).
2. Elevated tone in extremities, along with persistent asymmetrical tonic neck reflex, are
signs associated with cerebral palsy (pp. 43, 195-196).
3. Lower extremity paralysis and low tone are classic signs of myelomeningocele, not
elevated tone (pp. 270-271).
4. Muscular dystrophy is associated with progressive muscle weakness. Elevated tone
and persistent primitive reflexes are associated with cerebral palsy, an upper motor
neuron disorder. (pp. 195-196, 354)
2.17 Which of the following conditions is associated with osteoarthritis? - Answer-1.
Heberden nodes
2. Vertebral compression fracture
3. Swan-neck deformity

stretched (Kisner, pp. 935-936).
