NPTE practice exam #1 2023/ 85 Questions and
Answers/ 100% Correct.
end-feel that is an absolute contraindication for joint mobilization - -empty
-a common contracture following transfemoral amputation - -hip flexion contracture
-best initial intervention for shoulder impingement:
postural correction, AROM, stretching, or modalities - -correct postural alignment first
-typical posture of a patient with Parkinson's - -forward head and trunk
hip and knee flexion
-typical gait of a patient of Parkinson's - -festinating gait: small, shuffling steps and
generally slow movement
-T or F:
A rolling walker is indicated for the typical patient with Parkinson's posture and gait - -
False.
A rolling walker is contraindicated because it would exacerbate the postural and gait
impairments
-term for the inability to feel pain - -analgesia
-term for feeling pain from things that do not normally cause pain - -allodynia
-term for an abnormally heightened sensation of pain - -hyperalgesia
, -what is allodynia - -feeling pain from stimuli that shouldn't actually cause pain
-analgesia vs anesthesia - -analgesia is loss of pain sensation, anesthesia is global loss
of sensation
-typical end-feel of elbow and knee flexion - -soft
-which quadriceps muscle *may* reduce the tendency of the patella to track laterally - -
vastus medialis
-cranial nerve involved in Bell's palsy - -CN VII: facial nerve
-symptoms of Bell's palsy - -unilateral facial drooping/paralysis of muscles of facial
expression (opening/closing eyes, smiling/frowning, raising eyebrows, etc.)
-what is ptosis - -drooping of the eyelid
-A young female patient has larger than normal Q angle and complains of subpatellar
pain.
Would you strengthen vastus lateralis or medialis? - -vastus medialis (to reduce lateral
tracking of the patella)
-damage to this cranial nerve can result in weakness of paralysis of the muscles of
mastication - -CN V: trigeminal nerve
-cranial nerve responsible for motor function of the tongue - -CN XII: hypoglossal
nerve
-LDL level above what is considered a risk - -> 130
-total cholesterol above what is considered a risk - -> 200
