Question
What is a grade of 1.19 on the ankle-brachial index?
a. indicates rigid arteries and the need for an ultrasound test to check for
peripheral artery disease
b. normal; no blockage
c. mild blockage, beginnings of PAD
d. mod blockage; may be associated w/ intermittent claudication during
exercise
e. severe blockage suggesting severe peripheral artery disease; may have
claudication pain at rest Right Ans - b. normal; no blockage
>1.30: indicates rigid arteries and the need for an ultrasound test to check for
peripheral artery disease
1-1.30: normal; no blockage
0.8-0.99 mild blockage, beginnings of PAD
0.4-0.79: mod blockage; may be associated w/ intermittent claudication
during exercise
<0.4: severe blockage suggesting severe peripheral artery disease; may have
claudication pain at rest

A physical therapist working on a pulmonary rehabilitation unit works with a
patient on therapeutic positioning. The patient has experienced a lengthy
inpatient hospitalization and was only recently referred to physical therapy.
The patient has significant weakness of the diaphragm and is hypertensive.
The MOST appropriate patient position to initiate diaphragmatic breathing is:
1.prone
2.supine
3.Trendelenburg
4.reverse Trendelenburg Right Ans - 4.reverse Trendelenburg
A physical therapist examines the output from a single lead electrocardiogram
of a patient with first degree atrioventricular heart block. The defining
characteristic of this condition is a/an:
, 1.inverted T wave
2.prolonged PR interval
3.bizarre QRS complex
4.ST segment depression Right Ans - 2.prolonged PR interval
A physical therapist reviews the medical record of a patient diagnosed with
peripheral arterial disease prior to initiating treatment. Which objective
finding would MOST severely limit the patient's ability to participate in an
ambulation exercise program?
1.signs of resting claudication
2.decreased peripheral pulses
3.cool skin
4.blood pressure of 165/90 mm Hg Right Ans - 1.signs of resting
claudication
A patient classifies the intensity of exercise as a 16 using Borg's (20-point)
Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale. This classification BEST corresponds to:
1.40 percent of the maximum heart rate range
2.60 percent of the maximum heart rate range
3.70 percent of the maximum heart rate range
4.85 percent of the maximum heart rate range Right Ans - 4.85 percent of
the maximum heart rate range
A male patient rehabilitating from a lower extremity injury is referred to
physical therapy for gait analysis. The physical therapist begins the session by
observing the patient at free speed walking. The normal degree of toe-out at
this speed is:
1.3 degrees
2.7 degrees
3.14 degrees
4.21 degrees Right Ans - 2.7 degrees
A patient diagnosed with patellofemoral syndrome discusses his past medical
history with a physical therapist. The patient reports having anterior cruciate
ligament reconstruction surgery on his right knee two years ago, however, the
therapist is not able to identify a scar over the anterior surface of the right
knee. Assuming the surgeon utilized an autograft for the reconstruction,
which of the following would be the MOST likely graft site?
1.semitendinosus and semimembranosus
