Q

PTA is tx a pt that suffered cervical injuries sustained in a MVA 3 months ago. pts reports throbbing pain in neck that’s difficult to tolerate & described as “achy” this is most likely caused by

d fiber pain
pain transmission by the a-delta fibers
pain caused by a beta fibers
pain transmission by the c fibers

A

pain transmission by the c fibers

Q

small, unmeyelinated fibers associated w chronic pain

A

17
Q

activated by chemical, thermal, or pressure painful stimuli

A

nociceptor receptor

18
Q

pt experiencing gall bladder pain reports pain in their shoulder. this is best described as an example of?

chronic pain
psychogenic pain
referred pain
acute pain

A

referred pain

19
Q

pta is doing sensation test w small pin & lightly touches the skin. the pt jerks her arm away & states 10/10 pain. what is true about this scenario?

pt is experiencing hyperalgesia
pt id experiencing allodynia
pts is experiencing hysteria
pt is experiencing chronic pain

A

pt is experiencing hyperalgesia

20
Q

stopping pain at the spinal cord level & interrupting the transmission of pain to the brain ?

specificity theory of pain
psychological pain
pain gating
pattern theory of pain

A

pain gating

21
Q

acute inflammation is considered?

an extreme response
a psychological reaction to pain
a normal response to injury
a persistence of the injurious agent

A

a normal response to injury

22
Q

The A-Beta fibers are stimulated to cause an increase in the inhibitory interneuron firing which dampens or gate the intensity of A delta or C fibers at the level of the spinal cord

A

Gate control theory

23
Q

A PTA is working with a patient that reports 7/10 pain in the low back (L4-5 area). An MRI reveals compression of the L4 nerve root secondary to a posterior-lateral disc protrusion. The patient also states that the pain “runs down the back of my left leg” with prolonged weight bearing. This patient is most likely experiencing

Referred pain
Chronic pain
Acute pain
Radicular pain

A

radicular pain

24
Q

which best describes the sequence of the inflammatory cycle?

Inflammation, Hemostasis, Proliferation, Maturation
Hemostasis, Inflammation, Proliferation, Maturation

A

CAN BE BOTH

WHEN IN DOUBT: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, maturation

25
Q

pain receptors in the body is called?

Pacinian corpuscles
Meissner’s corpuscles
s fibers
nociceptors

A

nociceptors

26
Q

the outermost skin surface forming a protective barrier over wound

A

epithelialization

27
Q

when the healing cells move through the arterial wall during the inflammatory process

A

diapedesis

28
Q

the attraction of healing agents to the injured tissue

A

chemotaxis

29
Q

typically performed by macrophages, the process of absorbing & breakdown necrotic/infectious tissue

A

phagocytosis
