C RA: Maintaining AROM is a PRIMARY anti-deformity recommendation in order to prevent deformity. PROM and resistive exercise is contraindicated.

A 24 year old patient with RA is seen in the outpatient department for a resting hand splint. Before working with this patient, what precaution should the OT take? The patient should not perform AROM exercises The OT should not perform neuro-developmental treatment (NDT) on this patient The patient should not perform resistive exercises to increase strength The OT should not take a measurement of the patients hand

D ' The COTA can best obtain objective information by observing the patient in a natural setting displaying ADL skills T

A 35 year old school bus driver recently had a knee replacement. After the patient is medically cleared, how can the OT assess the patients abilities to perform lower body dressing? Reviewing the patient's medical record Get feedback about the patients dressing abilities from the patient's caregiver Gather information about the patients dressing abilities from the patient's spouse Observe the patient perform lower body dressing

D Items can be placed in the upright position in labeled containers where the patient can easily access and see them. Since this patient has a visual perceptual disability, he may confuse items even if only one set is available. While a home aide may be necessary in some circumstances, the goal of adaptive interventions is to allow the client to be as independent as possible. The sense of touch alone may not be adequate and may be influenced by visual perceptions. Additionally, some pantry items are similar in shape. The patient should continue with remedial exercises, such as sorting and identifying, to improve perceptual skills.

A 56 year old patient lives at home with his 28 year old daughter and has difficulty identifying items in his pantry such as soup, pasta, and bread when a different brand is bought or they are turned in an opposite direction. Which of the following adaptations would assist him the most? Encourage the patient to use his hands to touch items he is unfamiliar with Only have one item placed at a time to reduce visual distraction Have a home health aide to assist the patient Arrange the items in the pantry to be clearly visable and placed upright on the shelf

I keep a stool nearby so I can sit down when I get tired" "I just ordered pizza to be delivered to my house" "I wake up in the morning and rush to get my clothes on, wash my teeth, and make breakfast. Then I am exhausted" "I keep the window open in my house because I like the breeze"

D It is important to deal with the patient's pain first. Teaching her joint protection helps to eliminate the pain.

A patient has pain and decreased AROM of bilateral upper extremities and knees secondary to fibromyalia.

D The client's difficulty transferring, ambulating around equipment or other people, and dressing suggests a deficit in spatial relationships. The most appropriate functional test is to ask the client to place items in specific positions, using directional guidance and to record the number of errors. Standardized tests (Cross and Ayres' Space Visualization Test) may be indicated. Therapy includes practice following directions and using senses (kinesthetic, touch) to estimate distances. An adaptive approach includes limiting environmental obstructions and placing items consistently in one place.

A traumatic brain injury client has dressed himself, but has put his sweater on backwards. Along with being unsteady during transfer from a wheelchair, has also had difficulty ambulating when he encounters equipment or other people. What action should an OT do now?
