PEAT Practice Form Exam Review Section 2
Questions with Detailed Verified Answers
A well studied mechanism for recovery from loss of vestibular function ? Ans:
Improve gaze stability
Vigorous exercise does what to the blood? Ans: Produces lactic acid that causes a
lower PH in blood (acidic)
How does the body compensate for lower blood ph during vigorous exercise ? Ans:
An increase in RR helps compensate by increasing the blood alkalinity
What system is more involved in long term acid-base balance maintenance ? Ans: The
renal system.
What system plays an acute role when needing to get PH levels back to normal ? Ans:
Respiratory system
What happens to lactase level with increase in aging ? Ans: It decreases with age
causing an intolerance of dairy products.. common in small intestine.
What does exercise do to gastrointestinal transit time ? Ans: decreases the time
improving overall efficiency of the gastrointestinal system
Aerobic exercise has been found to improve what gastrointestinal organ ? Ans: overall
neuromuscular function of the colon, thus improving bowel transit time and decrease
the risk of constipation
What happens to the upper esophageal sphincter with aging? Ans: strength of
esophageal contractions and tension in the upper esophageal sphincter decrease but
movement of food is not impaired
Orthostatic hypotension? Ans: -Decrease in blood pressure related to positional or
postural changes from lying to sitting or standing positions.
-drop in 20 of SBP and drop of 10 in DBP
, What is an ACE inhibitor? Ans: hypertensive medication
Ultrasound waves travel better through water or air? Ans: consists of acoustic waves
that travel poorly through air and pass readily through water.
What is an effective way to treat small anatomical areas with irregular surfaces such as
the hand and wrist when using ultrasound Ans: immersion in water
What activity should children with Down syndrome avoid? Ans: Forward somersaults
due to atlantoaxial instability
What is considered bradycardia ? Ans: Heart rate <60 bpm
What would an anxiety reaction cause ? Ans: increased heart rate
How would a myocardial ischemic episode show on an ECG? Ans: Depression of the
ST segment >2mm
How would a myocardial infarction present on a ECG? Ans: Elevation of the ST
segment >1mm
Is a ST elevation or depression an medical emergency ? Ans: Yes. Stop exercise and
call 911.
What is a cohort study? Ans: Observational study that compares a cohort who share
a common characteristic; with and without exposure.
What is a case-control study? Ans: Compares a group of individuals with a specific
condition with a group of people without the same condition (controls)
What is a case series study? Ans: Document clinical case of a single patient or a series
of patients
What is a randomized control trial study ? Ans: Determine efficacy of intervention,
participants are randomly allocated into different groups to help minimize bias
