1. You are checking vitals as part of evaluation for a patient with obesity who uses a CPAP machine at night, who wishes to start an exercise program.  What lung sounds are you most likely to hear during auscultation, and what is the most appropriate exercise recommendation? (single best answer)

Explanation

The most likely lung sounds to be heard during auscultation in a patient with obesity who uses a CPAP machine at night would be decreased sound transmission. This is because obesity can lead to excess fat accumulation around the chest and abdomen, which can make it harder for sound to travel through the lungs. The most appropriate exercise recommendation for this patient would be a walking program within the 55-60% VO2 max range for 30 minutes a day. Walking is a low-impact exercise that can help improve cardiovascular fitness, and exercising within the VO2 max range ensures that the patient is working at an intensity that is beneficial for their overall health.

2. For which of the following patient populations, is pulmonary function or capacity NOT a limiting factor in aerobic performance?   

Explanation

Pulmonary function or capacity refers to the ability of the lungs to take in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. In an elite athlete, their well-trained lungs are able to efficiently perform these functions, making it not a limiting factor in their aerobic performance. However, for a typical untrained client, their lung capacity may not be optimized, and therefore it can be a limiting factor in their aerobic performance. Therefore, the correct answer is "typical untrained client".

Submit
3. Who can potentially benefit from pursed lip breathing? 

Explanation

Pursed lip breathing is a breathing technique that involves inhaling through the nose and exhaling slowly through pursed lips. This technique can be beneficial for patients with asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and emphysema. Patients with these conditions often experience difficulty breathing and pursed lip breathing can help to improve lung function, increase oxygen intake, and reduce shortness of breath. Therefore, all of these patients can potentially benefit from pursed lip breathing.

Submit
4. A 30 y/o female with a diagnosis of right shoulder dislocation comes into the clinic and you are taking her vitals at rest. Which of the following is not an appropriate vital sign and could potentially be a reason to delay exercise? (Select the single best answer)

Explanation

not-available-via-ai

Submit
5. During lung auscultation, wheezes are heard in:

Explanation

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and causes the production of thick, sticky mucus. This mucus can block the airways and lead to wheezing sounds during lung auscultation. Wheezes are typically caused by narrowed airways due to inflammation or obstruction, which is a common symptom in individuals with cystic fibrosis. Therefore, wheezes are heard in cystic fibrosis during lung auscultation.

Submit
6. What is an appropriate submaximal exercise test for baseline aerobic capacity?

Explanation

The 6 minute walk test is an appropriate submaximal exercise test for baseline aerobic capacity. This test measures the distance an individual can walk in 6 minutes, which is a good indicator of their aerobic endurance. It is a simple and easy test to administer, making it suitable for a wide range of individuals. By performing this test, healthcare professionals can assess a person's aerobic capacity and determine their baseline fitness level.

Submit
7. Why would a 2 minute step test be better tolerated by a geriatric client than a 6 minute test? (select all that apply)

Explanation

A 2 minute step test would be better tolerated by a geriatric client than a 6 minute test because it is less metabolically taxing. This means that the client would not have to exert as much energy during the shorter test, making it easier for them to complete. Additionally, the 2 minute test would be safer for patients with balance and gait dysfunction as it requires less time on their feet and reduces the risk of falls or other accidents.

Submit
8. The formula for max HR is:

Explanation

The given formula for max HR is 220 minus the person's age. This formula is commonly used to estimate the maximum heart rate a person can achieve during exercise. It is based on the observation that as a person ages, their maximum heart rate tends to decrease. By subtracting the age from 220, we can estimate the maximum heart rate for an individual.

Submit
9. ATP can be made in muscles from stored glucose. In muscles, glucose is stored in the form of

Explanation

Glycogen is the correct answer because it is a complex carbohydrate that serves as the primary storage form of glucose in the body. When ATP is needed for energy, glycogen is broken down through a process called glycogenolysis to release glucose molecules. These glucose molecules are then used to produce ATP, providing energy for muscle contractions. Therefore, glycogen acts as a readily available source of glucose in muscles, allowing ATP to be made efficiently when needed.

Submit
10. Which of the following is the correct sequence for the production of ATP for muscle contraction:

Explanation

The correct sequence for the production of ATP for muscle contraction is CP (creatine phosphate), which provides immediate energy for short bursts of activity, followed by anaerobic respiration, which produces ATP in the absence of oxygen but is less efficient, and finally aerobic respiration, which is the most efficient way to produce ATP and requires oxygen.

Submit
11. ATP is required for muscles to contract. Which of the following statements is incorrect?

Explanation

ATP is not used to get the troponin-tropomyosin complex to move in such a manner to expose the binding site. Instead, ATP is used to get the cross bridges to disconnect from actin, allowing the troponin-tropomyosin complex to move and expose the binding site.

Submit
12. When is lactic acid NOT produced in the series of reactions?

Explanation

Lactic acid is not produced in the series of reactions during glycolysis. Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration that breaks down glucose into pyruvate molecules. In the absence of oxygen, pyruvate is converted into lactic acid through a process called anaerobic respiration. However, in glycolysis, lactic acid is not produced as pyruvate is further metabolized in the presence of oxygen during aerobic respiration.

Submit
13. Functional Reserve is defined as:

Explanation

The correct answer is "volume remaining after a normal, passive, exhalation." This refers to the amount of air that is left in the lungs after a normal breath out, without any extra effort or force. It represents the amount of air that can still be exhaled after a regular breath.

Submit
14. Unsupported UE resistance training for patients with COPD is important in that it will do what of the following? Select all that apply 

Explanation

Unsupported UE resistance training for patients with COPD is important because it can strengthen accessory respiratory muscles. These muscles play a crucial role in assisting the primary respiratory muscles during breathing, especially in individuals with compromised lung function. Additionally, this type of training can increase upper extremity (UE) strength, which can lead to improved performance in activities of daily living (ADLs). It is important to note that engaging in unsupported UE resistance exercise may not necessarily increase the occurrence of dyspnea, as the question suggests, but rather provide beneficial outcomes for patients with COPD.

Submit
15. Your 65 year old, female patient states her posture has become more hunched and that she feels she is shorter over the past couple of years. From the following choices, what should your patient avoid? 

Explanation

Abdominal crunches in supine should be avoided because they involve flexing the spine forward, which can contribute to further hunching of the posture. Since the patient already feels shorter and has a hunched posture, performing abdominal crunches in supine position can exacerbate these issues. Instead, the patient should focus on exercises that promote good posture and strengthen the back muscles, such as mini squats at the counter or whole body vibration exercises. Biphosphonates, on the other hand, are a medication used to treat osteoporosis and can help prevent further height loss.

Submit
16. What of the following are potential consequences of a stroke? Select one

Explanation

A stroke can lead to various potential consequences, including behavioral changes, hemiparesis (weakness or paralysis on one side of the body), fluent aphasia (difficulty in speaking or understanding language), and coordination dysfunction. These consequences occur due to damage to the brain caused by the stroke.

Submit
17. Eileen is a 18 y.o. patient who experienced a ischemic stroke 1 year ago and has been transferred to be under your care while her previous physical therapist is on vacation. While getting to know you, she probes your expertise by asking how does practicing with her affected arm help her improve that same arm if it's injured. Which of the following is an applied concept that can help guide her understanding of the brain's response to stroke treatment? Choose the single best answer.

Explanation

All of the above options can help guide Eileen's understanding of the brain's response to stroke treatment. The specificity principle suggests that practicing with the affected arm can lead to specific improvements in that arm. Motor retraining involves practicing specific movements and tasks to improve motor function. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to reorganize and form new connections, which can help with recovery after a stroke. The statement that the unaffected arm inhibits the affected arm from performing is also true, as the unaffected arm can sometimes compensate for the loss of function in the affected arm.

Submit
18. Which of the following statements best represents the mechanism of nitroglycerine in reducing the onset of angina? Select the single best answer... 

Explanation

Nitroglycerine is converted to NO to work as a vasodilator. This means that nitroglycerine undergoes a conversion process in the body to produce nitric oxide (NO), which acts as a vasodilator. Vasodilators help relax and widen the blood vessels, allowing for increased blood flow to the heart and reducing the onset of angina symptoms.

Submit
19. Jim, a 75-year-old man has been resistance training 4x/week since retiring 15 years ago. Three months ago, Jim's wife had a stroke and he became her sole caretaker while trying to hire a nurse for at-home care. Taking care of his wife has left him exhausted and he has not been to the gym during the three-month span. They recently hired a nurse and Jim is now able to return to exercise. What principle explains why Jim may feel weak picking up the same weights he was using before his wife's stroke? Select the SINGLE best answer

Explanation

The Reversibility principle explains why Jim may feel weak picking up the same weights he was using before his wife's stroke. This principle states that the gains in strength and fitness achieved through exercise will be lost if the exercise is stopped or reduced. Since Jim had to stop going to the gym for three months to take care of his wife, his muscles may have weakened and lost some of the strength he had gained through resistance training. As a result, he may feel weaker when attempting to lift the same weights as before.

Submit
20. Two athletes competing to win a one mile race separate. One stays at sea level, and one goes to the top of Mt. Everest. After 6 months of training at their respective locations, the Mt. Everest athlete comes back to sea level to compete. What are some possible scenarios? (select all that apply)

Explanation

The Mt. Everest athlete loses because his blood is too viscous from increased hemoglobin and hematocrit after having lived in elevation for that long and the blood cannot circulate fast enough to provide energy to his muscles. Additionally, the Mt. Everest athlete loses because the air was so thin, lacking density and resistance, at Mt. Everest that his respiratory muscles are now weak. Training at high altitudes can lead to physiological adaptations such as increased red blood cell production, but it can also have negative effects on the body's ability to perform at lower altitudes due to changes in blood viscosity and respiratory muscle weakness.

Submit
21. Barb is an elite hockey player in training for the next Olympics. Her coach has told her she needs to work on her quick shots to beat the goalie. She has been training for 3 weeks, and without warm up, she steps on the ice and takes a snap shot into the upper left hand corner of the net, and then proceeds to do that 10 times in a row without missing. Her coach applauds all her hard work. (select one answer) This is an example of:

Explanation

The specificity principle states that training should be specific to the desired outcome or goal. In this scenario, Barb's coach has identified that she needs to work on her quick shots to beat the goalie. Barb has been specifically training for this skill for 3 weeks and is able to consistently execute the desired shot without missing. This demonstrates the application of the specificity principle in her training.

Submit
22. Which of the following techniques could you use  to help reduce the chance of EIA occurrence in a patient with a known diagnosis? Select all that apply

Explanation

Swimming is a recommended option for training in patients with exercise-induced asthma (EIA) as it helps to reduce the chance of EIA occurrence. It is a form of exercise that involves humidified air, which can be less irritating to the airways compared to other forms of exercise. Using a metered dose inhaler 20-30 minutes prior to exercise is also a recommended technique to help prevent EIA. This allows the medication to open up the airways and reduce the likelihood of an asthma attack during exercise. Skipping warm-up exercises is not recommended as it can increase the risk of EIA occurrence.

Submit
23. A 65-year-old female patient presents to you with a history of hypercholesterolemia, depression, high caffeine intake, postmenopausal, mid and low back pain, and a kyphotic posture. What diagnosis does she fit and what would be your chosen treatment/ exercise plan? Select the SINGLE most correct answer

Explanation

Based on the patient's history of hypercholesterolemia, depression, high caffeine intake, postmenopausal, mid and low back pain, and a kyphotic posture, the most appropriate diagnosis for this patient would be osteoporosis. The chosen treatment/ exercise plan would be walking and strength training 2-3 times a week. This plan would help improve bone density and strength, reduce the risk of fractures, and improve overall musculoskeletal health.

Submit
24. When exercising a patient, which of the following is NOT a sign that you should immediately cease the exercise session?

Explanation

A heart rate of 148 beats per minute in a 61-year-old patient is not a sign that you should immediately cease the exercise session. While it is important to monitor heart rate during exercise, a heart rate of 148 beats per minute is within a normal range for a 61-year-old individual. Therefore, it does not indicate any immediate danger or need to stop the exercise session.

Submit
25. What does EPOC stand for?

Explanation

EPOC stands for Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption. This term refers to the increased rate of oxygen intake that occurs after a strenuous workout or exercise session. During intense physical activity, the body consumes more oxygen to meet the increased energy demands. After the exercise is completed, the body continues to consume oxygen at an elevated rate to restore energy levels, repair tissues, and remove metabolic waste products. This increased oxygen consumption post-exercise helps to replenish energy stores and aids in recovery.

Submit
26. What provides the heart's energy at rest?

Explanation

FFA, also known as free fatty acids, provide the heart's energy at rest. Free fatty acids are a major source of fuel for the heart, especially during periods of rest or low-intensity exercise. They are released from stored triglycerides in adipose tissue and transported to the heart for energy production. Lactate and triglycerides are not the primary sources of energy for the heart at rest, making options A and C incorrect. Option D is also incorrect as it only includes lactate and FFA, while option E is the correct answer as it includes all of the above sources of energy for the heart at rest.

Submit
27. Which of the following are exercise goals for a patient with PAD- select all that apply 

Explanation

The exercise goals for a patient with PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease) include increased vasodilation, increased collateralization, and increased walking tolerance. Increased vasodilation helps to improve blood flow to the affected limbs, while increased collateralization refers to the development of new blood vessels to bypass blocked arteries. Both of these goals aim to improve circulation and reduce symptoms. Increased walking tolerance is also important as it helps to improve cardiovascular fitness and overall endurance, allowing the patient to engage in more physical activity without experiencing pain or discomfort. Decreased vasodilation is not a goal for a patient with PAD, as it would further restrict blood flow and worsen symptoms.

Submit
28. Which of the following are contraindications for treatment for patients for PAD? Select all that apply

Explanation

Massage and heat are contraindications for treatment for patients with PAD because they can increase blood flow and potentially cause damage to the already compromised blood vessels. In PAD, there is a narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the legs, causing reduced blood flow. Massage and heat can dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow, which may worsen the symptoms and potentially lead to complications. Therefore, these modalities should be avoided in patients with PAD.

Submit
29. Which of the following are recognized as techniques for airway clearance for children with Cystic Fibrosis? Select all that apply

Explanation

The techniques recognized for airway clearance for children with Cystic Fibrosis are rope jumping, percussive vest, and flutter valve. Rope jumping helps to loosen mucus in the airways through physical activity. The percussive vest uses vibrations to loosen and mobilize mucus, making it easier to cough up. The flutter valve is a device that creates positive pressure during exhalation, helping to move mucus up and out of the airways. Water clearance is not recognized as a technique for airway clearance in this context.

Submit
30. Your patient is a 16 year old male, being seen in your outpatient clinic, 10 weeks post ACL repair. He is also diagnosed with exercise induced asthma (EIA). What should you monitor while exercising with this patient?  Select the BEST answer for this patient situation. 

Explanation

Shortness of breath should be monitored while exercising with this patient because he has exercise-induced asthma (EIA). This condition causes the airways to narrow during physical activity, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. Monitoring shortness of breath can help assess the severity of EIA and determine if the patient needs to adjust their medication or exercise regimen. The other options (FEV1/FVC ratio, redness of the face, and cramping) are not specifically related to EIA and may not be the most relevant indicators to monitor in this patient.

Submit
31. While exercise, your patient begins to show signs of the onset of an asthma attack. Which of the following signs would cue you to seek additional medical assistance? Select all that apply

Explanation

The given answer is correct because all three signs mentioned indicate a worsening condition and potential complications of an asthma attack. Shortness of breath (SOB) occurring after taking the inhaler may indicate that the medication is not providing sufficient relief. The patient being hunched over and unable to stand upright suggests severe respiratory distress. Blue nail beds, known as cyanosis, indicate a lack of oxygen in the blood. These signs together indicate the need for immediate medical assistance.

Submit
32. You're working with a patient on a treadmill when they start to complain about chest pain. Under which circumstance would it be appropriate to decrease intensity but continue with the exercise? Select the single best answer… 

Explanation

In the given scenario, it would be appropriate to decrease the intensity but continue with the exercise if the patient has diagnosed stable angina. Stable angina refers to chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't receive enough blood flow, typically during physical exertion or emotional stress. The patient's condition has been diagnosed and is considered stable, meaning that the pain is expected and not an immediate cause for concern. Lowering the intensity of the exercise can help alleviate the symptoms while still allowing the patient to continue with the activity.

Submit
33. After being reassured that your patient has stable angina, on your next session they try taking a dose of nitroglycerine prior to commencing exercise. Which of the following is a sign that the drug is working? Select the single best answer 

Explanation

The tingling sensation under the tongue is a sign that the nitroglycerine is working. Nitroglycerine is a vasodilator that helps to relax and widen the blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart. The tingling sensation is a common side effect of nitroglycerine and indicates that the medication is being absorbed and taking effect.

Submit
34. A 60 year old woman is referred to your clinic after recovering from a tibial fracture due to a fall.  She remained on bed rest for a few weeks while the fracture healed.  She has a notable amount of muscle weakness limiting her function in ADLs.  Which of the following would you recommend and include in your justification for patient education? (select all that apply) 

Explanation

The correct answer is power training, ADLs require 90% of peak power from older adults, and power training is correlated with improved function in older adults. Power training focuses on improving the ability to generate force quickly, which is important for activities of daily living (ADLs) that require bursts of power, such as getting up from a chair or climbing stairs. ADLs require 90% of peak power from older adults, highlighting the importance of power training for maintaining independence and functionality. Additionally, research has shown that power training is correlated with improved function in older adults, further supporting its inclusion in patient education.

Submit
35. A 5 year old boy comes into your clinic with his mother and was referred to you due to spasticity cerebral palsy affecting his upper and lower extremity. You notice that he has a plantar flexion contracture in his right foot and limitations in motor coordination, which is more pronounced on the right upper extremity. Your PT team is determining a treatment plan for this child. What are the best treatment options appropriate for the child? (select all that apply)

Explanation

The best treatment options for the child would be to recommend or refer for fitting of an AFO (ankle-foot orthosis) to address the plantar flexion contracture in the right foot, and to consider constraint-induced movement therapy to improve motor coordination and function in the right upper extremity. These treatment options can help address the spasticity and limitations in motor coordination that the child is experiencing due to spasticity cerebral palsy. Isokinetic strength training and LE (lower extremity) gait training assisted with Lokomat may also be beneficial, but they are not specifically mentioned in the question stem as the best treatment options for this child.

Submit
36. Your patient is a 4-year-old male presenting with early signs of DMD, which treatment goals are most appropriate for him? Select all that apply

Explanation

The most appropriate treatment goals for a 4-year-old male presenting with early signs of DMD would be to maximize quality of life by delaying/preventing loss of function, maintain respiratory muscle strength, and maintain ROM and posture. This is because DMD is a progressive muscle disorder that leads to loss of muscle function over time. By focusing on maximizing quality of life and delaying/preventing further loss of function, the patient can maintain their independence and overall well-being. Additionally, maintaining respiratory muscle strength is crucial as DMD can affect the muscles involved in breathing. Lastly, maintaining ROM and posture can help prevent contractures and maintain mobility.

Submit
37. Summer training for the school soccer team has begun and their coach, who has an exercise science background is developing a workout routine for the day. Which exercises are going to allow her players to produce the most force? Select all that apply

Explanation

The exercises that are going to allow the players to produce the most force are eccentric hamstring curls, running down a steep hill, and barbell squats focusing on a slow and controlled down phase. Eccentric hamstring curls involve lengthening the hamstring muscles under tension, which can help to build strength and force production. Running down a steep hill requires the players to generate force to control their speed and maintain balance. Barbell squats with a slow and controlled down phase also require the players to generate force to lower the weight in a controlled manner, which can help to build strength and force production.

Submit
38. Which of the following statements regarding muscle aging is FALSE? Select a SINGLE answer

Explanation

As individuals age, there is a loss of fast-twitch muscle fibers and a transition to slower fiber types. This is due to a decrease in the number and size of muscle fibers. Additionally, muscle strength tends to decrease by about 15% per decade between the ages of 50 and 70. Sarcopenia, which refers to the loss of muscle mass and strength, is a common occurrence with age. However, the statement that there is a dramatic loss of motor neurons but an increase of motor units after the age of 60 is false. In reality, there is a decline in both motor neurons and motor units with aging.

Submit
39. Your friend Kyle recently fractured his left clavicle while skiing, and is now in a sling to immobilize the area and allow for healing. He would like to maintain some strength in his left shoulder and arm. How may he go about doing this? Select the SINGLE best answer

Explanation

To maintain some strength in his left shoulder and arm while his clavicle is healing, Kyle can use a combination of different methods. Visualizing using the left arm to do overhead presses can help activate the muscles and maintain neural connections. Resistance training the right shoulder and arm can help prevent muscle imbalances and maintain overall upper body strength. Utilizing Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) on Kyle's left arm can help stimulate muscle contractions and prevent muscle atrophy. Therefore, all of the above options (A, B, and C) are valid methods for Kyle to maintain strength in his left shoulder and arm, except option D.

Submit
40.
  1. An individual has been following a full body resistance training program for the past year. What adaptations has their body made that has caused their strength to increase? Select all that apply.

Explanation

The individual's strength has increased due to two adaptations: increased number of myofibrils and increased motor unit synchrony. Myofibrils are the contractile units within muscle fibers, and an increased number of myofibrils leads to greater force production and strength. Motor unit synchrony refers to the coordination and recruitment of motor units, which are groups of muscle fibers controlled by a single motor neuron. Increased motor unit synchrony allows for more efficient and effective muscle contractions, resulting in increased strength.

Submit
41. What signs may signify that an individual has exceeded their lactate threshold during exercise? Select all that apply ​

Explanation

When an individual exceeds their lactate threshold during exercise, their heart rate may increase disproportionately to the exercise load. This means that their heart rate may be higher than expected for the intensity of the exercise. Additionally, the individual may experience a rapidly increasing rate of perceived exertion (RPE), which refers to how hard they perceive the exercise to be. Lastly, they may also experience burning or aching in the muscles involved in the exercise. These signs can indicate that the individual is working at a higher intensity and has exceeded their lactate threshold.

Submit
42. In which of the following ways is race associated with a contribution to obesity? Choose the single best answer.

Explanation

Exposure to environmental and social stressors such as racism and prejudice can trigger physiological events that make one more predisposed to retaining adipose tissue. This means that individuals who experience racism and prejudice may have higher levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, which can lead to increased fat storage. Additionally, stress can also influence eating behaviors, leading to overeating and weight gain. Therefore, the association between race and obesity can be attributed to the impact of social and environmental factors on physiological responses and behaviors related to weight gain.

Submit
43. You have a 62 y.o. patient who had an ischemic stroke 2 years ago and is coming to you because she fell and broke her hip 8 weeks ago and thinks she is weak. She has 4 steps to enter her home and lives by herself. On assessment, you notice that she has an AFO on the R foot and evident flexion contracture in her R hand/UE. What are some treatment techniques worth considering? (select all that apply)

Explanation

The patient has a flexion contracture in her right hand/upper extremity, which can be addressed with Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to decrease spasticity. Additionally, activities involving upper extremity weight-bearing can help increase bone strength and improve overall function. Cardiovascular training with an emphasis on decreasing blood pressure is also important for the patient's overall health and well-being. Aquatic therapy may not be the best option in this case, as the hydrostatic pressure may increase her blood pressure and put her at risk.

Submit
44. Exercise for people with CHF can be as beneficial if not more beneficial than the best drug therapies. What is the main goal of exercise programs designed for patients with CHF? (select one answer)

Explanation

The main goal of exercise programs designed for patients with CHF is to decrease anaerobic metabolism. This is because CHF is characterized by a reduced ability of the heart to pump blood effectively, leading to inadequate oxygen supply to the muscles. By decreasing anaerobic metabolism, the exercise programs aim to improve the efficiency of oxygen utilization in the muscles, thereby reducing the strain on the heart and improving overall cardiovascular function.

Submit
45. For which condition(s) would a power lifting prescription be contraindicated? (select one answer)

Explanation

A power lifting prescription would be contraindicated for individuals with Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). Power lifting involves heavy lifting and intense exertion, which can put a significant strain on the cardiovascular system. CHF is a condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, and the added stress from power lifting could worsen the condition and potentially lead to complications. Therefore, it is not recommended for individuals with CHF to engage in power lifting activities.

Submit
46. Your patient has COPD and has landed in the hospital due to hypoxia where he recently passed out and was brought to the ER. At your first visit, you could educate your patient on some techniques to allow for increased oxygen intake EXCEPT? (select one answer)

Explanation

It is not recommended to recommend increased supplemental oxygen at all times in order to keep O2 sats at 100% for a patient with COPD. This can lead to oxygen toxicity and can suppress the patient's respiratory drive. It is important to maintain O2 sats within a safe range, but not necessarily at 100%.

Submit
47. Al is a healthy 68-year-old man who has noticed himself becoming weaker as he has gotten older. What type of exercise would likely be the most beneficial for improving his functionality as he ages? (select one answer)

Explanation

Performing squats and coming up to standing as fast as he safely can would likely be the most beneficial for improving his functionality as he ages. This type of exercise helps to improve strength, power, and balance, which are important for maintaining functionality and preventing falls in older adults. Additionally, the fast movement helps to improve reaction time and agility, which can also be beneficial for overall functionality.

Submit
48. Which of the following statements are true about the typical changes seen in muscle as people age? (select all that apply)

Explanation

As people age, there is a natural decline in muscle strength and power. This is due to various factors such as a decrease in muscle mass and a decline in the efficiency of muscle contraction. On the other hand, endurance tends to increase with age. This is because the body adapts to the aging process by relying more on slow-twitch muscle fibers, which are better suited for endurance activities. Therefore, the statement "There is an overall decrease in strength and power" and "Endurance increases" are both true about the typical changes seen in muscle as people age.

Submit
49. You are treating an elderly patient who suffered from a fall, combined with a history of cervical stenosis resulting in a SCI at C6.  Your patient suddenly starts to present a flushed face and neck, and complains of headache and blurred vision.  What is happening to the nervous system and circulatory system and what might you check on the patient to address autonomic dysreflexia? (single best answer)

Explanation

The correct answer explains that the patient is experiencing autonomic dysreflexia, which is characterized by a sympathetic response below the level of injury causing vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure. This response is not regulated by descending control from the brain. To address autonomic dysreflexia, the healthcare provider should check for noxious stimuli below the level of injury, such as bladder or bowel fullness.

Submit
50. You have a patient who is 75 years old and a fall risk, who does not believe strength training will help their condition, telling you, "I'm just getting old."  Which of the following is the most scientifically accurate argument that strength training will help them (single best answer):

Explanation

As we age, we naturally lose motor neurons and motor units, but it is possible to reverse some of these effects through strength training. Resistance training, specifically using moderate loads and performing the exercises as fast as possible, can increase muscle fiber size and improve balance. By engaging in strength training, the patient can regain some of the powerful muscles they had in their twenties, contrary to the belief that they are simply getting old.

Submit
51. Comparing a successful professional 100m dash sprinter with a successful professional marathon runner, we would expect to see:

Explanation

Sprinting is an anaerobic activity that relies on stored glycogen for energy, so a successful professional sprinter would have higher glycogen stores. On the other hand, marathon running is an aerobic activity that requires endurance, so a successful professional marathon runner would have more capillaries to deliver oxygen to the muscles, as well as higher levels of oxidative enzymes and mitochondria to produce energy aerobically.

Submit
52. Skylar has experienced a spinal cord injury (SCI) at the level of T4. What treatment option(s) would be appropriate to give to your patient? Select all that apply.      

Explanation

Given that Skylar has experienced a spinal cord injury at the level of T4, there are several treatment options that would be appropriate for the patient. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) can be used to activate the muscles and improve function. Decreasing muscle tone can help manage spasticity and improve mobility. Practice motor retraining can help Skylar regain motor skills and improve overall function. Avoiding stretching may not be necessary or appropriate for this specific patient.

53. Patients with the following condition should be given exercise prescriptions that primarily involve only aerobic exercises of the lower extremities. 

Explanation

Patients with coronary artery disease should be given exercise prescriptions that primarily involve only aerobic exercises of the lower extremities. This is because aerobic exercises help improve cardiovascular health, increase heart and lung function, and lower the risk of heart-related complications. By focusing on lower extremity exercises, such as walking, jogging, or cycling, the workload on the heart is increased, promoting better blood flow to the heart and reducing the risk of heart attacks. Additionally, lower extremity exercises help improve leg strength and endurance, which can further enhance overall cardiovascular fitness.

55. An athlete comes into the PT clinic 10 weeks post-op from his ACL reconstruction. He has been progressing as expected since his surgery at another clinic, and is transitioning to your clinic after his family moved. Which of the following would you instruct as his PT regarding resistance training? (Select the single best answer)

Explanation

Free weights require greater accessory muscle activity to stabilize the load, which makes them more functional. This is important for the athlete who is recovering from ACL reconstruction as it helps to improve overall strength and stability in the affected leg. Using machines may load other muscles and bones, but they do not provide the same level of functional training as free weights. Additionally, using free weights allows for increased load on cartilage, which can help to improve joint stability and strength.

Submit
56.  A 56 y/o patient comes into the clinic who you have never seen before. She is recovering from a left femur fracture after falling in her backyard (no other health conditions). You are attempting to prescribe the correct amount of load for her resistance training exercises. Which of the following should you use? (Select the single best answer)

Explanation

The correct answer is 7-10RM because of her age and diagnosis. This recommendation takes into consideration the patient's age and the fact that she is recovering from a femur fracture. Using a 7-10RM (repetition maximum) allows for a moderate intensity level that is appropriate for her condition. It balances the need for strength training without putting excessive strain on the healing fracture. This approach ensures a safe and effective resistance training program for the patient.

Submit
57. What are the most effective PT interventions for knee osteoarthritis? (Choose all that apply)

Explanation

The most effective PT interventions for knee osteoarthritis include aerobic exercise, strengthening, and aquatic exercise. Aerobic exercise helps improve cardiovascular fitness and reduces pain and stiffness in the knee joint. Strengthening exercises focus on building muscle strength around the knee, which helps support and stabilize the joint. Aquatic exercise, done in water, reduces the impact on the knee joint while providing resistance for muscle strengthening. These interventions have been found to be effective in managing symptoms and improving function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis.

Submit
58. You are working in the inpatient cardiac rehab unit and are about to see a patient who had an MI 3 days ago and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Which of the following considerations should you follow? (Choose all that apply)

Explanation

After a myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), the patient may experience incisional pain, which can lead to shallow breathing. Using analgesics before exercise can help reduce this pain, allowing the patient to breathe more deeply. Additionally, the patient should avoid using their arms to get in/out of bed, chair, or front wheel walker to prevent strain on the incision site. Relaxation during low-intensity exercise is important to prevent overexertion and allow the patient to gradually build up their exercise tolerance. Light aerobic exercise on the treadmill immediately after surgery is not recommended as it can increase the risk of clot formation.

Submit
59. During lung auscultation, crackles are heard in:

Explanation

Pulmonary fibrosis is a condition characterized by the formation of scar tissue in the lungs, which can lead to breathing difficulties. Crackles are abnormal lung sounds that can be heard during auscultation and are often associated with conditions involving the lungs, such as pulmonary fibrosis. The crackles in pulmonary fibrosis are caused by the presence of stiff and damaged lung tissue, which disrupts the flow of air and creates the characteristic crackling sound.

Submit
60. During lung auscultation, diminished or absent breath sounds are heard in:

Explanation

Musculoskeletal deformities can cause diminished or absent breath sounds during lung auscultation. This is because these deformities can restrict the movement of the chest wall and limit the expansion of the lungs. As a result, there may be a decrease in the intensity of breath sounds or they may not be audible at all. This can make it difficult for air to flow in and out of the lungs properly, leading to diminished or absent breath sounds.

Submit
61. Which pulse location provides the most accurate reading?

Explanation

The apical pulse provides the most accurate reading because it is taken directly over the apex of the heart, which allows for a more precise measurement of the heart's rhythm and rate. This location eliminates any potential for errors caused by peripheral pulses, such as the radial pulse, which may be affected by factors like peripheral vascular disease or irregularities in the arterial wall. Similarly, the brachial pulse may not accurately reflect the heart's activity. The carotid artery is also close to the heart, but it is not as reliable as the apical pulse due to the potential for variability in blood flow to the brain.

Submit
62. A 4mm depression that disappears in 10-15 seconds is  considered ___________________ pitting edema grade

Explanation

A 4mm depression that disappears in 10-15 seconds is considered 2+ pitting edema grade. Pitting edema is a condition where there is swelling in the body due to the accumulation of fluid. The grading system for pitting edema ranges from 1+ to 4+. In this case, a 4mm depression that disappears within 10-15 seconds indicates moderate pitting edema, which is classified as 2+.

Submit
63. The Bruce Protocol is an example of what kind of exercise test?

Explanation

The Bruce Protocol is an example of an incremental exercise test that is also objectivity-limited. Incremental exercise tests involve gradually increasing the intensity of the exercise over time, typically by increasing the speed and incline on a treadmill. Objectivity-limited means that the test is designed to reach a predetermined endpoint, such as a certain heart rate or level of exertion, rather than being limited by the participant's symptoms or fatigue.

Submit
64. Lactic acid is a buffer, energy source.  Select the statement about lactic acid that is TRUE.    

Explanation

Lactic acid is used for various cells and tissues in the bloodstream. This means that lactic acid serves as a source of energy for different cells and tissues in the bloodstream.

Submit
65. Which modification(s) to a therapeutic exercise is most appropriate for a client with osteoarthritis? (select all that apply)

Explanation

The most appropriate modifications for a client with osteoarthritis would be resistance exercises for the quads, hams, and transverse abdominis to help strengthen the muscles and provide stability to the affected joints. Additionally, performing range of motion exercises for the knees bilaterally can help improve flexibility and reduce stiffness in the joint. These modifications can help manage symptoms and improve overall function for individuals with osteoarthritis.

Submit
66. When considering exercise for patients with obesity, exercise intensity to reach the 'fat burning zone' should be:

Explanation

The correct answer is generally between 60-80% max HR and 55-60% VO2 max. This is because exercising at this intensity range allows the body to burn a higher percentage of calories from fat. While exercising at a lower intensity may primarily burn fat, it does not burn as many overall calories. On the other hand, exercising at a higher intensity burns more calories overall, but a smaller percentage of those calories come from fat. Therefore, the recommended intensity range strikes a balance between burning a higher percentage of fat calories and burning a sufficient number of total calories.

Submit
67. When muscle contracts upon stimulation, calcium ions bind to _______, which exposes the binding sites for the myosin cross bridges to attach to

Explanation

When a muscle contracts upon stimulation, calcium ions bind to troponin. Troponin is a protein complex that is located on the actin filament of the muscle. When calcium ions bind to troponin, it causes a conformational change in the troponin-tropomyosin complex, exposing the binding sites on the actin filament. This allows the myosin cross bridges to attach to the actin filament, initiating the sliding of the filaments and muscle contraction.

Submit
68. Angina, chest pain from mild coronary ischemia, produces referral pain along which afferent innervation patterns

Explanation

Angina, chest pain from mild coronary ischemia, produces referral pain along the afferent innervation patterns of C1-T5. This means that the pain is referred to areas that are innervated by the spinal nerves originating from the cervical (C1-C8) and thoracic (T1-T5) regions of the spinal cord. Therefore, the correct answer is C1-T5.

Submit
69. For which condition is resistance training contraindicated? (Select all that apply)

Explanation

Resistance training is contraindicated for individuals with DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) because it is a progressive muscle-wasting disease, and resistance training can further damage the weakened muscles. It is also contraindicated for individuals with unstable angina, as resistance training can put additional strain on the heart, potentially triggering a heart attack. Similarly, individuals with early post MI (myocardial infarction) should avoid resistance training as it can strain the healing heart tissue and increase the risk of further damage. However, resistance training can be beneficial for individuals with CAD (coronary artery disease) and PAD (peripheral artery disease) as it helps improve cardiovascular health and muscle strength.

Submit
70. Which VO2 Max test is better for sedentary, untrained individuals?

Explanation

The YMCA Bike Test is better for sedentary, untrained individuals because it is designed to be less intense and more suitable for individuals who may not be accustomed to high levels of exercise. This test involves cycling on a stationary bike at a moderate intensity for a set period of time, making it more accessible for those who are not physically active. The other options, Submax VO2 II and Submax VO2 III, are likely more suitable for individuals who are already moderately active or have some level of fitness. The Timed it to Stand Test is not a VO2 Max test and is not directly related to measuring aerobic capacity.

Submit
71. For which client(s) is pulmonary function not limiting (select all that apply)

Explanation

The pulmonary function is not limiting for typical clients because they do not have any underlying respiratory conditions that would affect their lung capacity. Additionally, clients with treated asthma have their condition managed through medication and treatment, which allows them to have normal pulmonary function. However, clients with untreated asthma may have limited pulmonary function due to the uncontrolled inflammation and constriction of their airways. Chronic bronchitis, on the other hand, can cause long-term damage to the airways, leading to limited pulmonary function.

Submit
72. Which vital(s) would you monitor for a COPD Client and Client with CHF during Exercise?  

Explanation

During exercise, it is important to monitor the oxygen saturation levels (sPO2) in both COPD and CHF clients as it indicates the amount of oxygen being delivered to the body. Additionally, monitoring the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) dyspnea is crucial as it helps assess the client's subjective experience of breathlessness during exercise. These vital signs provide valuable information about the respiratory and cardiovascular status of the clients, allowing for appropriate interventions and adjustments in the exercise program if necessary.
