NBCOT OTR Practice Questions and
Answers.
Which organization should the OTR contact for obtaining the most up to date resources
for resolving uncertainty in practice? -
\American Occupational Therapy Association
What do the research findings of r=0.01 from the peer reviewed article indicate for the
level of correlation? -
\r = 0.01 = no correlation (The closer the correlation is to 1.0, the stronger the
relationship between the two variables. A correlation of 0.0 indicates the absence of a
relationship.)
What type of research should you review to obtain the strongest level of evidence
regarding interventions? -
\Systematic reviews, meta-analyses
What is the NBCOT responsible for? -
\issues related to certification and certification renewal
What is the ACOTE responsible for? -
\for accreditation of OT education standards in support of the practice standards set
forth by the AOTA
Interpretation levels of correlation = r -
\0 - .2 suggests a negligible correlation
.2-.4 low correlation
.4-.6 moderate correlation
.6-.8 high correlation
.8-1.0 very high correlation
Systematic reviews -
\the strongest level of evidence because they provide an overall conclusion based on
review of all the evidence available on the topic
A 5 yr. old with mild developmental delays is learning how to self-dress. The child has
mastered putting on and taking off a coat as well as buttoning and unbuttoning it. What
should the child learn next based on the typical developmental sequence for dressing? -
\Pulling up a jacket zipper (putting on a belt in waistband loops, tying shoelaces,
tightening and fastening belt buckles all require higher levels of skill)
