OT 501 Module 1: Inpatient Acute Care (Adult Physical Rehab) Exam Questions
AND Correct Answers
AMPS - ✔✔-Assessment of Motor and Process Skills
-an "OT occupational performance assessment"
-rates functional performance and motor function skills
-motor and processing skills
-measures quality of performance and energy, efficiency, safety, independence
of goal-directed actions
-therapist presents 3-5 tasks, client picks 2-3
-manual includes flexible task guidelines
-4 point scale: competent, questionable, innefective, markedly deficient
-computerized scoring
AROM scan decision tree - ✔✔-if no limitations, perform MMT
-if limitations, assess PROM (in order to identify available range); if AROM =
PROM, perform MMT; if PROM > AROM, consider muscle weakness as a cause
for PROM > AROM, and perform MMT in gravity-eliminated
assessment of endurance in OT - ✔✔-primarily completed during observation of
occupational performance
-intensity (light, moderate, heavy); resistance, speed
-duration
-frequency
assisted living - ✔✔-housing and personalized support for those needing help
with ADLs
,-still have independence in some areas, may need help with ADLs or medicine
management
-don't provide skilled medical care
assumptions for biomechanical FOR - ✔✔-occupational performance requires
the ability to move the limbs and the endurance to sustain activity/movement
until goal is accomplished
-purposeful activities can be used to treat loss of ROM, strength, and endurance
attention - ✔✔-sustained
-selective
-divided
-alternating
BI - ✔✔-Barthell Index
-10 categories of activities
-gives broad profile
-point system; sum up score
biomechanical frame of reference (FOR) - ✔✔-addresses musculoskeletal
capacity and problems that underlie movement in daily occupational
performance
-ROM
-strength
-endurance
, -concerned with musculoskeletal capacity, peripheral nerve dysfunction, and
cardiopulmonary system dysfunction (related to endurance)
-best suited for clients with isolated/selective control
-contraindicated for clients with CNS damage
blood pressure - ✔✔-hypotension: systolic <90, diastolic <60
-normal: systolic 90-120, diastolic 60-80 (ideal: 120/80)
-pre-hypertension: systolic 120-139, diastolic 80-89
-hypertension: systolic >140, diastolic >90
-with activity, it's normal for systolic BP to increase (but it should go down
during recovery)
-with activity, it's normal for diastolic BP to stay the same, increase slightly, or
decrease slightly
-pay attention to an increase in diastolic BP (because that's the resting BP)
blood pressure sounds - ✔✔-first 2 sounds = systolic BP
-2 BP sounds to record: 2nd Kortokoff sound and the first faint/muted sound
-BP = systolic/diastolic
body positioning for wheelchair transfers - ✔✔-pelvic tilt
-trunk alignment
-weight shifting
-lower extremity positioning
-upper extremity positioning
