PEAT 1 Section 3: Questions With Easy-to-Understand
Solutions
If the test shown in the photograph(phalens test) has a positive result, which
of the following tests would MOST likely also have a positive result?
1.Allen Test
2.Froment Test
3.Piano Keys Test
4.Carpal Compression Test Right Ans - 4.Carpal Compression Test
Which of the following descriptions BEST depicts the Cheyne-Stokes
respiratory pattern?
1.Regular respiration pattern characterized by a rate of less than 10
breaths/minute
2.Regular respiration pattern characterized by a rate of more than 24
breaths/minute
3.Irregular respiration pattern characterized by highly variable respiratory
depth and intermittent periods of apnea
4.Irregular respiration pattern characterized by a period of apnea followed by
gradually increasing depth of respirations Right Ans - 4.Irregular
respiration pattern characterized by a period of apnea followed by gradually
increasing depth of respirations
This is a typical Cheyne-Strokes respiratory pattern, which is an irregular
respiration pattern characterized by a period of apnea followed by gradually
increasing depth and frequency of respirations (pp. 57-58). This breathing
pattern is often observed with depression of the cerebral hemisphere (e.g.,
coma), in basal ganglia disease, and occasionally with congestive heart failure.
Examination of a patient's right lower extremity reveals weakness in great toe
extension and decreased sensation along the lateral leg and dorsum of the
foot. Which of the following nerve roots is MOST likely contributing to these
findings?
1.L4
2.L5
3.S1
4.S2 Right Ans - 2.L5
,2. The myotome associated with L5 is toe extension/dorsiflexion. The
dermatome associated with L5 is the lateral leg and dorsum of the foot.
Which of the following factors BEST predicts improvements in upper
extremity functional outcomes for a patient following a cerebrovascular
accident?
1.Family involvement in the patient's care
2.Use of blocked practice during intervention
3.Patient's cognitive understanding of the impairments and intervention
program
4.Presence of active wrist and finger extension Right Ans - 4.Presence of
active wrist and finger extension
Which of the following modalities is MOST appropriate to administer to a
patient who has hip joint pain secondary to a labral tear that occurred 6
months ago?
1.Traction
2.3-MHz thermal ultrasound
3.Ice pack
4.Sensory-level electrical stimulation Right Ans - 4.Sensory-level electrical
stimulation
Sensory-level electrical stimulation can cover a large area and is effective for
treating chronic pain
A 43-year-old male patient reports the recent appearance of silver and scaly-
appearing plaques on the scalp, elbows, and knees. If left unaddressed, which
of the following complications is MOST likely to develop?
1.Bluish digits with cold exposure
2.Dermal reaction to sun exposure
3.Erosive arthritis in the DIP joints of the hands
4.Erosive arthritis in the hip joints Right Ans - 3.Erosive arthritis in the DIP
joints of the hands
The stem describes a patient who recently developed psoriasis, a systemic
disease hallmarked by silver scaled papules and plaques in the scalp, elbows,
knees, back, and buttocks. It is a systemic disease that can result in erosive
arthritis, particularly in the DIP joints of the hands.
, Sensation in the area highlighted in the photograph(middle finger palm side)
is absent due to a nerve root lesion. Which of the following muscles is MOST
likely to be affected?
1.Deltoid
2.Brachialis
3.Triceps
4.Supinator Right Ans - 3.Triceps
The area highlighted in the photograph is the C7 nerve root distribution.
Absent sensation due to a nerve root lesion would cause muscles innervated
by the C7 nerve root to be affected as well (p. 24). The triceps, which is
innervated by the radial nerve (C7-C8), would most likely be affected as well
Which of the following substitution patterns should be prevented when
measuring active forearm supination?
1.Shoulder medial (internal) rotation and shoulder abduction
2.Shoulder medial (internal) rotation and shoulder adduction past 0°
3.Shoulder lateral (external) rotation and shoulder abduction
4.Shoulder lateral (external) rotation and shoulder adduction past 0° Right
Ans - 4.Shoulder lateral (external) rotation and shoulder adduction past 0°
When measuring forearm supination, lateral (external) rotation of the
shoulder or adduction past 0° should be avoided
Which of the following structures provide active compression of the urethra?
1.Pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus, and puborectalis
2.Pubococcygeus, obturator internus, and puborectalis
3.Iliococcygeus, puborectalis, and pubovesical ligament
4.Pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus, and anococcygeus ligament Right Ans -
1.Pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus, and puborectalis
The levator ani muscles consist of the pubococcygeus, iliococcygeus, and
puborectalis, which actively compress the urethra, vagina, and rectum, thus
maintaining continence.
A patient reports incontinence and a sensation of urgency to urinate with little
output. Which of the following interventions is BEST to include in the
therapeutic program?
1.Restriction of fluid intake
