- A PT is increasing a patient’s functional mobility in a seated position. To manage the patient MOST
effectively and efficiently, the following should be performed in what order?

- A PT is part of a health team that will examine applicants for flight attendants of an airline company.
His task was to examine the posture of applicants. Which of these descriptions would NOT match a
good posture?
a. chest is slightly up and forward
b. front of pelvis and thighs are in a straight line

d. arms hang relaxed at the sides with palms of hand facing toward the body
c. shoulder blades pulled back and separated about 2 inches (*4 in / 10 cm) from each other
- PT is evaluating a 40-year-old male patient referred by a pulmonary specialist. Pt observes a pattern

b. Biot’s
c. ataxic
d. Cheyne-Stokes
d. Cheyne-Stokes
- The plumb line is a tool that consists of a weight suspended at the end of a string to determine
vertically. Ideal positioning of selected body parts in relation to the plumb line is described below
EXCEPT
a. midway through the tip of the shoulder
b. through the external auditory meatus
c. through the axis of the odontoid process
d. slightly anterior to the coronal suture
d. slightly anterior (*POSTERIOR) to the coronal suture
- A patient with a deep partial thickness burns over 30 degrees of the body is referred to PT from the
Burn Unit. The expected healing process in this type of burn includes

b. depressed skin area that heals with grafting and scarring
c. marked edema with slow healing and extensive hypertrophic scarring
d. blisters and minimal edema with spontaneous healing
c. marked edema with slow healing and extensive hypertrophic scarring

- Criteria that can be used to assess motor learning include all of the following EXCEPT
a. ability to remember response-produced augmented feedback
b. resistance to contextual change
c. performance acquisition of a motor task
d. retention-recall of a motor task after a period of no practice
a. ability to remember response-produced augmented feedback
- A PT teaches a patient in supine to posteriorly tilt pelvis. The patient has full active and passive range of
motion in the upper extremity but cannot do full shoulder flexion while in posterior pelvic tilt position. What
could be the BEST explanation for this?
a. Latissimus dorsi tightness
b. Capsular tightness
c. Quadratus lumborum tightness
d. Pectoralis minor tightness
a. Latissimus dorsi tightness
