PTFE Practice Exam 2 Questions with 100%
Correct Answers.
While working on the coronary care unit of a hospital, a physical therapist treats a patient
who has undergone a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The patient's oxygen
saturation level is observed to be 87% on 2 liters of oxygen (O2) via nasal cannula. The
patient has decreased chest expansion and fast, shallow breaths. Upon auscultation,
crackles are heard in the left lower lobe. The patient is also unable to perform a productive
cough. The therapist decides to incorporate the active cycle breathing technique (ACBT).
Which of the following is the FIRST step to facilitate the ACBT?
ACBT is as follows: Breathing control, 3-4 thoracic expansion exercises (inhalation with 3
second hold followed by a passive exhalation), return to breathing control. If secretions are
ready to clear, the huff or forced exhalation will be performed. If not, return to thoracic
expansions.
A patient presents with complaints of heaviness and numbness into the ulnar side of the
4th and 5th digits, and the ulnar side of the left hand. Which nerve root segments can be
concluded to be involved with these sensory test findings of decreased sensation?
If a patient presents with complaints of numbness on the ulnar half of the ring finger, the
little finger, and the ulnar side of the hand, the therapist would be altered to carefully
address ulnar nerve (C8 and T1) integrity during the sensory examination.
Passive range of motion is an assessment of non-contractile function. Limitations in
passive range of motion may be due to bone or joint abnormalities or shortening of soft
tissue structures. Which of the following is not dependent upon for passive range
osteokinematic motions?
1) Joint capsule extensibility
2) Ligament extensibility
3) Soft tissue extensibility
4) None of the above - Correct Answers 4
, Passive range of osteokinematic motions depends on the integrity of joint surfaces and the
extensibility of the joint capsule, ligaments, muscles, tendons, and soft tissue.
A 30-year-old male was diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the right distal femur. He is due to
start chemotherapy to prevent the spread of the current tumor. He has been instructed to
be non-weight bearing to reduce the risk of a pathological fracture. What would be the
BEST assistive device for this patient?
1) Axillary crutches
2) Front wheel walker
3) Lofstrand crutches
4) Wheelchair - Correct Answers 2
The correct answer for this would be to issue a front-wheel walker. The axillary crutches
would be an appropriate device once he has shown that he is able to maintain the weight-
bearing restriction using a walker.
In a one-on-one therapy session, an ambulatory patient appears agitated and restless.
The patient is not responding to any verbal cues and refuses to perform any tasks. The
patient keeps repeating "I just want to get up, get going, please." What is the BEST
response in this situation?
1) Allow the patient to get up, walk with him/her and adapt your task to something you can
do while walking
2) Discontinue the activity due to noncompliance
3) Explain the importance of the activity and insist they complete the task
4) Explain the task will only take 10 minutes and that if they'd only calm down and do the
task, the activity would be over in 10 minutes - Correct Answers 1
When you have a patient that is agitated it is important to adapt and change the situation to
defuse the agitation as much as possible. As this patient is agitated and ambulatory, it is
vital to adapt the session to ensure an appropriate treatment.
A patient presents with a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) following a recent Motor Vehicle
Accident (MVA). Upon initial evaluation, the patient displays contralateral loss of pain and
temperature perception. In what spinal tracts are these impairment signs being suggestive
of a lesion?
Examination of sensory function also provides data that reflects the integrity of the spinal
cord tracts that carry somatosensory information. For example, contralateral loss or
impairment of pain and temperature perception is suggestive of lesions in the anterolateral
