Sample CLT - Certified Lymphatic Therapist Practice Questions
Try these questions from our free CLT - Certified Lymphatic Therapist practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.
Which of the following is considered a breach of client confidentiality?
- A. Keeping notes in a locked drawer
- B. Sharing client progress with parents
- C. Talking about a client to a friend
- D. Using initials on client records
Answer: C. Talking about a client to a friend
Client confidentiality is a fundamental ethical principle, meaning all client information must be kept private. Discussing a client's details with anyone not directly involved in their care, such as a friend, is a serious breach of trust and professional ethics.
Which of the following is a contraindication to compression bandaging in a lymphedema patient?
- A. Mild pitting edema
- B. Acute cellulitis with systemic infection signs
- C. Post-surgical swelling after 6 weeks
- D. Moderate fibrotic tissue changes
Answer: B. Acute cellulitis with systemic infection signs
Active cellulitis with systemic signs (fever, spreading erythema) is a contraindication because compression over infected tissue can spread infection and cause pain.
Fibrosis in chronic lymphedema is primarily caused by:
- A. Bacterial infection of lymph nodes
- B. Chronic protein accumulation stimulating inflammatory fibroblast activity
- C. Venous insufficiency complicating lymphatic flow
- D. Repeated MLD treatments over time
Answer: B. Chronic protein accumulation stimulating inflammatory fibroblast activity
Chronic protein-rich fluid accumulation triggers chronic inflammation and stimulates fibroblasts to deposit collagen, leading to progressive tissue fibrosis.
Foam padding layers applied beneath short-stretch bandages serve what purpose?
- A. They replace the need for MLD
- B. They protect bony prominences and evening out the pressure distribution over irregular contours
- C. They increase total compression pressure
- D. They are used only for cosmetic reasons
Answer: B. They protect bony prominences and evening out the pressure distribution over irregular contours
Foam and chip-bag padding protect bony prominences, fill concavities, and redistribute pressure evenly to prevent localized pressure injuries under bandages.
