The PTA must be aware of the key members of the rehabilitation team. Occupational
therapists, PTs, nurses, respiratory therapists, psychologists, and audiologists are only a few of
the important members of the rehabilitation team. The PTA does not work in isolation.
REF: P. 4
5. Which of the following statements would be used in a discussion with a patient?
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.
REF: P. 4
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.
REF: P. 6

c. A pause
d. Neutral phrase

or elicit specific responses from the patient.
REF: P. 8
