PTFE Practice exam 2 Correct QUESTIONS &
Answers(RATED A)
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 - ANSWER 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 - ANSWER 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.
