should be determined by the:
A. Service coordinator for the case
B. Therapists from each discipline
C. Reimbursing agency
D. Parents - CORRECT ANSWER D. Although therapists suggest goals

covers their ears when riding in the car with the windows down. The parent
does not understand why the child persists in this behavior. The OT explains
that this behavior could be the result of:
A. Sensory defensiveness
B. Gravitational insecurity
C. Underresponsiveness
D. Aversion to movement - CORRECT ANSWER A. A child experiencing
sensory defensiveness has a tendency to respond negatively to sensation that
is considered by most people to be noninvasive or nonirritating. This
frequently includes hyperresponsiveness to light or unexpected touches, high-
frequency noises, certain visual stimulation, or certain smells and tastes.

A patient diagnosed with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is referred to
occupational therapy for splinting. A primary area that must be assessed
before prescribing a splint is:
A. Edema
B. Sensation
C. Pain
D. Fine motor manipulation - CORRECT ANSWER B. Persons with long-
standing diabetes frequently have increased incidences of other conditions,
such as peripheral neuropathies. Therefore, a sensory evaluation is necessary
to determine if sensation is diminished. A person with diminished sensation
secondary to peripheral neuropathy may not be able to perceive or gauge
pressure when wearing a splint. This can lead to skin breakdown.
