1. Prior to starting an exercise training program, a patient
with cardiac problems who is receiving beta blocking
medication should receive an explanation of the:
A. greater benefits from cardiovascular exercise to be
achieved at lower rather than at higher metabolic level
B. need to use measures other than heart rate to
determine intensity of exercise
C. need for exercise training sessions to be more frequent
but of shorter duration
D. need for longer warm-up periods and cool-down
periods during an exercise session - ANSWER-B.
The patient taking beta-blocking medication will
experience a lower heart rate and blood pressure
response during exercise as compared to a patient who is
not taking this medication. Since the heart rate is lower
than anticipated, using heart rate to monitor exercise
intensity may not be as accurate. Another measure, such
as the Borg Scale (rating of perceived exertion) would be
more beneficial. However, even though heart rate and
blood pressure would be lower, the patient actually
achieves the same metabolic levels during exercise and

therefore altering the frequency or duration of exercise is
unnecessary. The time for warm-up and cool-down
exercises is not to be altered.
1. A clean, well granulating stage II pressure ulcer with
minimal serous drainage is MOST appropriately dressed
with:
A. a non-adherent dressing
B. a packed dressing
C. topical medication only
D. dry-to-dry gauze - ANSWER-A.
A non-adherent dressing is best choice because any
adherence of the dressing to the fragile granulating tissue
could cause additional trauma. This is superficial wound,
so there would be no need to pack the wound. Since there
is some drainage, a covering is preferential to topical
medication only.
1. A PT examines a patient who complains of foot pain
while jogging. The examination sows that the patient has
excessive foot pronation and forefoot varus. The therapist
decides to try a temporary orthotics insert in the patient's

running shoe. Which of the following would be the MOST
appropriate orthotics insert?
A. A lateral forefoot post under the fifth metatarsal head
B. A lateral rearfoot post under the calcaneus placing it in
everted position
C. A wedge placed under the instep of the medial foot just
beneath the head of the talus
D. A medial post just proximal to the first metatarsal head -
ANSWER-D.
Pronation of the foot can be caused by a variety of factors
including calcaneal eversion and forefoot varus.
Correction of the pronation by an orthosis could include a
medial post (wedge) placed just proximal to the metatarsal
heads or a medial post under the calcaneus. The
approach involves bringing the ground up to meet the foot.
A post under the fifth metatarsal head would accentuate
the problem, as would a rearfoot post placing the
calcaneus in an everted position. If the patient has
excessive forefoot varus, a wedge may be placed in the
instep in addition to the medial wedge proximal to the
metatarsal heads to distribute the load, however, a wedge
in the instep by itself would not be the best intervention.

1. A patient with chronic adhesive capsulitis of the
shoulder is to be treated with joint mobilization to increase
joint range of motion. Which of the following would be the
MOST appropriate to increase shoulder abduction?
A. Distraction with inferior glide
B. Anterior glide with internal rotation
C. Superior glide with approximation
D. Distraction with posterior glide - ANSWER-A.
Since most of the joint contracture/adhesion forms in the
anterior-inferior portion of the capsule, treatment to
mobilize that portion of the capsule is of primary concern.
Inferior glide would stretch the inferior portion of the
capsule.
