collection, and appropriate supervision of a patient during physical therapy?
a. Physical therapist (PT)

a. What is your pain level today on a scale of 1-10?
b. When did the pain begin?
c. Tell me about the time that you injured knee.

a. “Your blood pressure is 150/90 which indicates hypertension and could lead to a
cerebral vascular accident if you don’t take your medications.”
b. “Your blood pressure is higher than normal today, 150/90. Did you take your blood
pressure medication this morning?”
c. “The doctor prescribed a beta-blocker for you a month ago. Has that been helping
your blood pressure?”
d. “The combination of your calcium-channel blocker and beta-blocker do not seem
to be controlling your blood pressure. Let’s call the doctor.”
ANS: B
The PTA should learn to communicate openly, freely, and in a professional manner. The PTA
must employ appropriate and professional medical terminology with professional people—but
use familiar (lay) terms to describe the same condition to a patient or a family member.
Avoiding the use of medical jargon (hypertension, beta-blocker, calcium-channel blocker)
with patients is required by PTAs.
6. How can a PTA demonstrate accountability in their practice?
a. Maintain timely documentation about patient interventions.
b. Maintain good rapport with patients.
c. Continue their education past their initial degree.
d. Report all findings to the supervising PT so that modifications can be made in
response to changes in patient status.
ANS: D
PTAs are responsible for reporting all findings to the supervising PT so that modifications can
be made in accordance with changes in patient status.
7. Which type of questioning would you use to find facts or obtain specific responses from a
patient about an injury to a limb or joint?
a. Open-ended questions
b. Closed-ended questions
c. A pause
d. Neutral phrase

specific responses from the patient.
8. Which of the following is an example of prompting during a physical therapy session?
a. “When you walk up the steps, which foot will you move first?”
b. “All right, now pick up your right foot and put it on the next step.”
c. Point to the step and touch the patient’s right leg.
d. Observe the behavior of the patient to see if they will lift up the correct foot while
walking up the steps.
ANS: A
Prompting a patient to perform a task can be viewed as the presentation of a question.
Prompting allows patients to decipher information, solve problems, and provide solutions to
activities they must overcome during recovery. Cues are directions.
9. Who holds the ultimate responsibility for the patient’s physical therapy?
