Chapter 01: Patient Supervision and Observation During Treatment
Test Bank
1. Who is responsible for carrying out prescribed selected interventions, patient supervision, data collection, and appropriate supervision of a patient during physical therapy?
A. Physical therapist (PT)
B. Physical therapist assistant (PTA)
C. Nursing assistant
D. Medical doctor
Answer: A
Rationale: The PTA is responsible for carrying out prescribed selected interventions, patient supervision, data collection skills, and appropriate problem-solving and clinical decision making.
2. Which of the following is NOT a purpose of the clinical patient supervision process?
A. To gather relevant information and data
B. To establish and enhance rapport, trust, and confidence
C. To prescribe interventions the patient requires
D. To assist in the management of the patient
Answer: C
Rationale: PTAs do not prescribe interventions for the patient. The PTA observes, documents, and discusses patient observations with the physical therapist.
3. Select the open-ended question.
A. What is your pain level today on a scale of 1 to 10?
B. When did the pain begin?
C. Tell me about the time that you injured knee.
D. When did you take your last pain medication?
Answer: C
Rationale: The open-ended question leads the patient to say more than yes or no. Open-ended questions provide much richer details about the incident or experience.
4. Which of the following statements is true regarding the working environment of PTAs?
A. PTAs work in isolation with their patient assignments.
B. PTAs work with a team of experts in all areas of a patient’s care.
C. PTAs work only with the PT in providing therapy.
D. PTAs are the most important people on the rehabilitation team when providing therapy.
Answer: B
Rationale: The PTA must be aware of the key members of the rehabilitation team. OT, PT, nurses, respiratory therapist, psychologists, and audiologists are only a few of the important members of the rehabilitation team. The PTA does not work in isolation.
5. Which of the following statements would be used in a discussion with a patient?
A. Your blood pressure is 150/90, which indicates hypertension and could lead to a cerebral vascular accident if you don’t take your medications.
B. Your blood pressure is higher than normal today, 150/90. Did you take your
blood pressure medication this morning?
C. The doctor prescribed a beta-blocker for you a month ago. Has that been helping
your blood pressure?
D. The combination of your calcium-channel blocker and beta blocker do not seem
to be controlling your blood pressure. Let’s call the doctor.
Answer: B
Rationale: The PTA should learn to communicate openly, freely, and in a professional manner. The PTA must employ appropriate and professional medical terminology with professional people—but use familiar (lay) terms to describe the same condition to a patient or a family member. Avoiding the use of medical jargon (hypertension, beta-blocker, calcium-channel blocker) with patients is required by PTAs.
