An OT is working with an older adult with Parkinson's disease on gait and functional mobility. Which intervention is MOST evidence-based?
Answer: LSVT BIG therapy focusing on large-amplitude movements
LSVT BIG is an evidence-based protocol that trains people with Parkinson's to use large-amplitude movements to improve functional mobility.
When addressing feeding difficulties in a child with cerebral palsy, the OT would FIRST complete:
Answer: An oral-motor assessment including jaw, lip, and tongue function
A thorough oral-motor assessment establishes the child's baseline function and guides safe, individualized feeding intervention.
A client recovering from a total hip replacement needs to dress independently. Which adaptive equipment would the OT MOST likely recommend?
Answer: Long-handled reacher and sock aid
A long-handled reacher and sock aid allow lower extremity dressing while maintaining hip precautions (avoiding hip flexion beyond 90°).
Which type of group is MOST appropriate for clients in an acute psychiatric inpatient setting who have limited insight and low functional capacity?
Answer: Parallel group focusing on simple, parallel activities
Parallel groups allow members to work independently side-by-side on simple tasks, which is appropriate for low-functioning clients with limited social and cognitive capacity.
An OT uses graded exposure to occupational tasks for a client with chronic pain. This intervention is based primarily on which model?
Answer: Fear-avoidance model of chronic pain
The fear-avoidance model explains how pain-related fear leads to activity avoidance; graded exposure directly addresses this by systematically reintroducing feared activities.
A school-based OT is collaborating on IEP goals for a student with dysgraphia. Which intervention is MOST appropriate?
Answer: Multi-sensory handwriting program combined with keyboarding as an accommodation
A multi-sensory handwriting program addresses underlying deficits while keyboarding serves as a compensatory accommodation, supporting participation in academic tasks.
Which approach would an OT use when a client with a traumatic brain injury demonstrates impulsivity during a cooking task?
Answer: Use environmental modifications and step-by-step verbal cuing to structure the task
Environmental modifications and external cueing systems provide structure that compensates for impulsivity deficits in TBI, enabling safe task completion.
