OPP Exam Practice Questions || All Answers are Valid.
Which of the following is an example of the Tissue Texture Abnormalities (T1) component of
TART findings? correct answers blanching with pressure
Which of the following is a possible finding related to assessment pertinent landmarks of the
lateral mid-gravitational line? correct answers anterior external auditory meatus
When assessing anatomical landmarks from a posterior to anterior view, what is the final step?
correct answers determine if one side is more superior
Which structures are utilized to localize findings to the typical cervical spine? correct answers
C7/T1
In a normally functioning spine, which of the following would be expected to have asymmetric
findings in gross regional range of motion? correct answers flexion and extension
Which anatomic landmarks can be used to localize the C1 transverse processes? correct answers
mastoid process and angle of the mandible
When assessing for temperature, where should the examining hand be located? correct answers
slightly above the patient's body
What findings are being assessed with skin drag (superficial tissue texture assessment)? correct
answers dryness
A 24 year old female presents to clinic with a complaint of upper thoracic discomfort of three
days duration. You perform an initial assessment and note the external auditory meatus is anterior
to the lateral mid-gravitational line. As what kind of test can this be classified? correct answers
screening
, When assessing the cervical spine for active gross regional range of motion which of the
following steps would be included? correct answers ask the patient to stop sidebending left when
C7 starts to move on T1
When examining the HEENT, where will you palpate for tissue texture changes related to the
sinuses? correct answers supraorbital and infraorbital foramina
This verbalization about examining a patient describes which of the following processes?
"I select the longest spinous process (SP) at the base of the neck and place my 2nd digit on that
SP and my 3rd digit on the next inferior SP. I ask the patient to flex their neck to move my
fingers apart. I can compare that amount of movement to the segments above and below. That
which separates the most is likely C7 on T1." correct answers localization of the typical cervical
spine
Describe how to palpate the angle of the mandible on yourself correct answers below the
external auditory meatus, move down the ramus of the mandible to the junction with the body of
the mandible, and place one finger against that prominence
Palpating along the spine of the scapula medially in a transverse plane leads to which spinous
process? correct answers T3
What qualities are conveyed with the activities of palpating/manipulating the cornstarch/water
(oobleck) non-Newtownian fluid? correct answers -necessity for matching tissues
-colloidal properties of tissues
What is the purpose of the Standing Flexion Test (StFT)? correct answers Lateralization of
iliosacral findings
What is the purpose of the Seated Flexion Test (SFT)? correct answers Lateralizaiton of
unilateral sacral diagnosis
