injury is ASIA C. What do the results of this scale suggest?
a. Complete motor and sensory impairment below the level of the lesion
b. Sensory incomplete impairment below the level of the lesion

\c Motor incomplete impairment below the level of the lesion
An OTR has administered a sensory test to an inpatient admitted to an acute care
setting 3 days ago. The patient reports no recent accidents or injury but has patchy
sensory impairment in both upper extremities that do not follow dermatomal patterns.
Further sensory test results are inconsistent with repeated testing, and there are
discrepancies between the sensory test results and the patient's performance during
ADL. Based on these results, which condition is TYPICALLY associated with these
findings?
a. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
b. Functional neurological symptom disorder (Conversion Disorder)
c. Central cord syndrome (CCS) -
\b. Functional neurological symptom disorder (Conversion Disorder)
An OTR is interviewing an adult client who has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The client
has compromised respiratory function making speech difficult to hear due to decreased
vocal force. What is the BEST option to describe this impairment?
a. Aphonia
b. Dysphonia
c. Hypophonia -
\b. Dysphonia
An OTR has evaluated an adult client, who has a peripheral nerve injury, and is
reviewing the results of a manual muscle testing, which indicates that the client has
Zero (0/5) muscle strength of the wrist extensors. Based on the test result, which
peripheral nerve is typically associated with this impairment?
a. Ulnar
, b. Radial
c. Median -
\b. Radial
What are some interventions for hypertonia and hypotonia for feeding? -
\fast tapping, light touch, vibration and a fast pace alerts the system and can increase
tone
slow tapping, deep pressure, vibration and a slowed pace tends to decrease tone.
When the facial muscles are shortened or inactive, such as in children who are
defensive about foods and utensils entering the mouth, stretching these muscles will
improve the muscle length to enable a more mature movement patterns.
Stimulation of the ___________ muscle improves flexion of the lips for mouth closure
and puckering. -

What is an effective way to stimulate a single bolus swallow? -
\To facilitate a single bolus swallow, the entire bowl of a dry spoon can be placed on the
tongue applying downward pressure to encourage the tongue to make a bowl then
move back to initiate a swallow.
Which condition listed below warrants a recommendation of elastic compression
stockings to reduce lower extremity edema?
a. Peripheral artery disease
b. C6 spinal cord injury
c. Septic phlebitis -
\c. Septic phlebitis
An OTR reviews the medical chart of a client and sees that the clients INR value is 6.2.
What does this indicate? -
\Do not treat. Generally therapy intervention is deferred and the patient may be on bed
rest if the INR is greater than 5.0
Which is the MOST BENEFICIAL intervention method to increase verbal
comprehension in a kindergarten student with autism spectrum disorder and
hyperlexia?
a. Use a visual choice board to support classroom learning.
b. Present social stories through written communication.
c. Provide a calming sensory diet before verbal instructions -
