A female basketball player reports to your university's athletic training clinic complaining of
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
right superior shoulder pain she has been experiencing for approximately 5 days. She
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
reports no history of shoulder trauma or changes in training or conditioning load or
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
intensity. Which of the following questions can best assist you in determining the potential
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
cause of this patient's pain? || || || || ||
A. "You look tired; have you been spending a lot of time on your laptop?"
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
B. "That's a nice-looking and large new messenger style book bag; do you carry it on your
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
right or left shoulder?" || || || ||
C. "I know you commute to campus; do you have a lumbar support roll in your car seat?"
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
D. "When sitting in class, do you have difficulty seeing the projection screen or blackboard?"
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
- ✔✔B : A patient' s pain may be caused by activities of daily living that subject the body to
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
repetitive stresses. Backpacks that are heavy and worn on one shoulder can overload the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
patient' s shoulders. Students should be instructed to use both shoulder straps while
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
wearing backpacks, avoiding carrying weight over one shoulder. || || || || || || ||
A n athlete with repeated herpes simplex eruptions should be counseled to avoid which of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the following potential outbreak triggers?
|| || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
C. Sexual activity, contact with others, and dehydration
|| || || || || || || ||
|| D. Contact with others, fatigue, and a high carbohydrate diet
|| || || || || || || || || ||
E. Poor nutrition, overexposure to the sun, and sexual activity - ✔✔A: Herpes simplex
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
eruptions can be triggered by illness, external stresses, internal stresses, fatigue,
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
overexposure to sunlight, menstruation, and physical trauma. || || || || || ||

A baseball pitcher presents with unilateral shoulder pain he describes as deep within the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
joint as well as intermittent bicipital groove and biceps tendon tenderness. The athlete also
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
reports a history of his involved shoulder popping, clicking, and catching with certain
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
motions. As he is a baseball pitcher, you are concerned he may have sustained a superior
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
labral anterior-posterior (SLAP) lesion. To apply evidence based practice to the examination
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
of this patient, what information from the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA)
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
position statement on evaluation, management, and outcomes of and return-to-play criteria
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
for overhead athletes with SLAP injuries should you consider?
|| || || || || || || || ||
|| A. Bicipital groove or biceps tendon tenderness is diagnostic of a SLAP lesion.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
B. A history of popping, clicking, or catching is diagnostic of a SLAP lesion.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
C. Mechanisms of injury for a SLAP lesion can include repetitive overhe - ✔✔C: In
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
overhead athletes, the mechanisms of a superior labral anterior posterior (SLAP) lesion are
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
associated with repetitive overhead activities. During overhead motions the tensile forces on
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
the labrum from the biceps during the deceleration phase may result in a tear of the labrum
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || || || ||
semimembranosus ||
D. Sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus
|| || || || ||
E. Sartorius, gracilis, and semimembranosus - ✔✔E: Sartorius, gracilis, and
|| || || || || || || || || ||
semimembranosus muscles make up the pes anserine muscle group and insert on the || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
medial aspect of the tibia through a common tendon
|| || || || || || || ||
Which four palpable bony prominences define the carpal tunnel?
|| || || || || || || || ||
A. Radial styloid, navicular, ulnar styloid, and hook of the hamate
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
B. Radial styloid, base of the first metacarpal, base of the fifth metacarpal, and ulnar styloid
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
C. Pisiform, tubercle of the navicular, hook of the hamate, and tubercle of the trapezium

,2
E. Lister' s tubercle, tubercle of the trapezium, capitate, and base of the fifth metacarpal -
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
✔✔C: The carpal tunnel is oriented within the carpal bones. The trapezium is the most
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
medial bone in the carpal distal row, and its prominence can be palpated through the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
hypothenar eminence. The pisiform is also found and palpated on the medial portion of the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
wrist. The carpal tunnel is defi ned laterally by the tubercle of the navicular and the hook of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the hamate ||

placed on the elbow as well as maintaining congruence between the articulating surfaces of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the humerus and radius
|| || ||

A. Trapezoid
|| ||
B. Pisiform
|| ||
C. Trapezium
|| ||
D. Navicular
|| ||
E. Lunate - ✔✔C: The trapezium lies directly proximal to the fi rst metacarpal. The fi rst
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
carpometacarpal (CMC) joint has a synovial cavity that is separate from the other four CMC || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
joints and allows accessory rotational movement, which permits opposition

|| || || || || || || ||
B. Intra-alveolar pressure is lower than intrapleural pressure.
|| || || || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || ||
D. Intra-alveolar pressure is higher than atmospheric pressure.
|| || || || || || || ||

|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
diaphragm contracts creating a vacuum that pulls air into the lungs across a pressure
