A client with rheumatoid arthritis reports difficulty opening jars and turning doorknobs. Which client factor is MOST directly impaired?
Answer: Joint mobility and grip strength
Rheumatoid arthritis commonly impairs joint mobility and grip strength, directly affecting manipulation tasks like opening jars and doorknobs.
During an NBCOT scenario, an OT observes that a client with a traumatic brain injury initiates tasks but cannot sequence the steps of meal preparation. This difficulty BEST reflects a deficit in which performance skill?
Answer: Process skills — organizes
Sequencing steps in a multi-step task like meal prep is captured by the AMPS process skill 'organizes,' which involves logically ordering task steps.
A pediatric client avoids playground equipment and dislikes being touched unexpectedly. According to Dunn's Model of Sensory Processing, this child MOST likely has which sensory processing pattern?
Answer: Sensation avoiding
Sensation avoiding describes children with high neurological thresholds who actively restrict sensory input to prevent overload.
An OT is evaluating a client's ability to perform IADL tasks. The client can complete each step of laundry independently but forgets to move clothes from the washer to the dryer without a cue. Which performance skill is MOST impaired?
Answer: Process skill — attends
The AMPS process skill 'attends' refers to maintaining focus on a task without being distracted or losing track of task progress.
Which body function, as defined in the OTPF, includes awareness of body position and movement in space?
Answer: Proprioceptive functions
Proprioceptive functions provide sensory information about body position, movement, and force from muscles and joints.
A client recovering from a stroke has difficulty grading the force used when picking up fragile objects, often crushing paper cups. This BEST represents an impairment in which performance skill?
Answer: Motor skill — calibrates
The AMPS motor skill 'calibrates' refers to the ability to regulate force, speed, and extent of movement during task performance.
An OT uses the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) to guide intervention. A client states they 'used to love cooking but don't feel capable anymore' since their injury. This statement MOST reflects a change in which MOHO component?
Answer: Volition — personal causation
Personal causation within MOHO volition refers to a person's sense of their own effectiveness and belief in their capacity to perform.
