.sufficient .to .apply .gentle .pressure .on .the .anterior .and .inner-thigh .areas .without .causing .excessive .shear .or .pressure .on .the .newly .adhered .graft.

A: .Although .a .tailor-made .Jobst .garment .is .a .good .choice .for .compression .therapy .in .the .later .stage, .it .is .important .to .initiate .compression .therapy .with .lighter .pressure .for .desensitization .in .the .early .stage .when .the .wound .is .still .fresh.

C: .Coban™ .self-adherent .wrap .will .be .difficult .to .manage .in .a .large .area .such .as .the .thighs. .It .is .more .commonly .used .in .small .areas .such .as .the .fingers.

D: .Thigh-high .TED .stockings .would .be .contraindicated .because .the .top .end .of .the .TED .hose .will .likely .create .shear .on .the .anterior .and .inner .thighs, .where .new .skin .grafts .are .still .at .risk .of .breaking .open.

A: .High .brief-load .stretches .throughout .the .day .do .not .achieve .elongation .of .tissues .over .time .and .are .not .beneficial .in .this .situation.

B: .The .resident .should .not .be .uncomfortable .while .wearing .the .splint .because .the .splint .should .place .a .slight .stress .that .is .tolerable .for .the .resident .over .a .significant .amount .of .time.

D: .Low-load .stress .needs .to .be .applied .for .a .duration .of .6-8 .hours .frequently .so .applying .the .splint .just .before .sleep .will .not .be .the .optimal .wear .schedule. .Initially, .the .resident .will .likely .only .tolerate .3-4 .hours .of .splint .wear, .so .use .during .the .daytime .will .be .necessary .for .optimum .progress.

A .client .with .oculomotor .dysfunction .and .double .vision .is .referred .for .occupational .therapy .evaluation. .What .is .the .MOST .appropriate .way .for .the .OTR® .to .begin .this .evaluation? A. Determine .possible .limitations .in .daily .occupations .secondary .to .double .vision B. Determine .the .etiology .of .the .oculomotor .dysfunction .that .is .causing .double .vision C. Provide .occlusion .for .the .client .to .reduce .the .visual .stress .caused .by .double .vision D. Provide .eye .exercises .for .the .client .to .reduce .the .visual .stress .caused .by .double .vision

.✔✔A: .The .purpose .of .an .occupational .therapy .evaluation .is .to .determine .whether .the .client .is

.experiencing .limitations .in .daily .occupations .because .of .dysfunction, .in .this .case .in .the .client's .oculomotor .system.

B: .Determining .the .etiology .of .the .double .vision .is .the .role .of .the .optometrist .or .ophthalmologist.

C, .D: .Occlusion .and .eye .exercises .are .intervention .approaches .for .double .vision; .however, .neither .would .be .appropriate .for .an .OTR .to .prescribe .without .supervision .by .an .optometrist .or .ophthalmologist.

A .client .who .had .a .total .hip .replacement. 2 .days .ago .with .severe .kyphosis .as .a .result .of .osteoporosis .is .referred .to .occupational .therapy. .The .chart .notes .that .the .client .has .been .demonstrating .signs .of .malnutrition .for .the .past. 4 .months. .What .is .the .FIRST .evaluation .the .OTR® .should .complete? A. Evaluation .of .eating B. Evaluation .of .meal .preparation C. Evaluation .of .knowledge .of .nutrition

D. Evaluation .of .feeding .✔✔A: .Kyphosis .often .leads .to .deficits .in .eating .skills .(e.g., .the .ability

.to .keep .and .manipulate .food .or .fluid .in .the .mouth .and .swallow .it).

B: .The .hip .fracture .would .have .affected .the .client's .ability .to .complete .meal .preparations, .but .it .is .not .an .underlying .cause .of .the .malnutrition .because .the .hip .fracture .is .recent .and .the .malnutrition .is .longstanding.

An .OTR® .is .evaluating .a .child .with .Level. 1 .autism .spectrum .disorder .without .intellectual .impairment .(Asperger .syndrome). .At .1:05 .p.m., .the .child .pulls .out .a .smartphone .and .says, ."It's .1:05. .I .have .to .check .the .weather." .What .response .to .this .behavior .would .be .MOST .effective? A. Redirect .the .behavior .to .a .more .appropriate .one B. Insist .that .the .child .put .the .cell .phone .away .during .the .evaluation C. Find .out .more .about .the .child's .insistence .on .checking .the .weather

D. Introduce .the .child .to .a .new .weather .app .for .the .smart .phone .✔✔C: .An .evaluation

.includes .identification .of .factors .that .affect .participation .in .occupation, .and .this .ritual .is .one .such .factor. .It .is .good .client-centered .practice .to .obtain .the .client's .perspective .on .what .the .weather .at .1:05 .means .to .this .person .and .to .gather .enough .information .about .it .to .determine .whether .this .factor .is .a .strength .or .a .weakness.

A, .C: .Interrupting .a .ritualistic .behavior .may .provoke .anxiety .or .a .meltdown, .which .would .render .the .remaining .data .the .OTR® .gathers .unreliable. .Keeping .the .client .functioning .at .his .or .her .optimal .level .by .reducing .and .minimizing .anxiety .is .essential .to .the .evaluation .process.

D: .Introducing .the .client .to .a .new .weather .app .is .more .appropriate .in .evaluating .the .ability .to .adapt .to .new .learning.

A .COTA® .in .a .short-term .acute .care .psychiatric .hospital .is .leading .a .psychodynamic .group. .Which .of .the .following .activities .would .be .the .MOST .appropriate .for .this .group? A. Paint .by .number B. Crossword .puzzles C. Free-form .clay .building

D. Decorating .gingerbread .cookies .✔✔C: .Free-form .clay .building .allows .for .the .least .amount

.of .structure. .Clients .are .free .to .form .the .clay .however .they .want, .so .the .piece .takes .on .a .symbolic .meaning .important .to .the .client.

A: .Painting .by .number .is .highly .structured, .with .minimal .opportunity .for .a .participant .to .express .subconscious .thoughts .and .feelings.

B: .Crossword .puzzles .provide .minimal .opportunity .for .self-expression .or .for .conflicts .in .the .psyche .to .emerge.

D: .Decorating .gingerbread .cookies .involves .some .choice .in .expression .and .the .potential .to .evoke .body-related .thoughts .and .feelings, .but .free-form .clay .building .has .less .structure .and .is .a .more .effective .activity .for .this .group.

An .OTR® .is .working .with .a .client .in .an .inpatient .psychiatric .facility .and .decides .to .use .the .Allen .Cognitive .Level .Screen .to .assess .cognitive .functioning. .Which .goals .would .be .appropriate .on .the .basis .of .the .Cognitive .Disabilities .Model? A. The .client .will .demonstrate .appropriate .coping .skills .in .identified .stressful .situations .with .100% .success. B. The .client .will .independently .apply .relaxation .techniques .and .report .relief .from .stress .at .0/10 .after .using .the .technique. C. The .client .will .apply .grounding .techniques .with .100% .accuracy .as .a .preventative .measure .to .reduce .over-stimulation. D. The .client .will .be .discharged .home .from .the .inpatient .psychiatric .unit .with .daily .checks

.from .caregiver .to .address .novel .safety .needs .in .the .home .environment. .✔✔D: .The .Cognitive

.Disabilities .Model .assesses .the .client's .current .cognitive .functioning .to .maximize .supports .in .the .environment .that .will .facilitate .maximal .occupational .performance. .This .goal .suggests .that .after .discharge, .the .client .will .be .placed .in .an .environment .that .will .successfully .manage .the .client's .current .cognitive .ability .through .appropriate .environmental .supports.

A: .This .goal .is .based .on .a .cognitive-behavioral .approach, .not .the .Cognitive .Disabilities

.Model. .B: .This .goal .is .based .on .the .behavioral .approach, .not .the .Cognitive .Disabilities

.Model.

C: .This .goal .is .based .on .a .sensorimotor .approach, .not .the .Cognitive .Disabilities .Model.

A .76-year-old .client .will .be .using .a .wheelchair .after .discharge .from .an .acute .rehabilitation .facility. .The .client .has .achieved .independence .in. wheelchair .mobility .on .level .surfaces .but .still .requires
