  1. An OTR is evaluating a burn patient's hand function. Which tool specifically assesses the ability to perform fine motor tasks after hand injury or surgery?

    Answer: Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test

    The Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test evaluates functional hand tasks including writing, card turning, and object manipulation relevant to hand rehabilitation.

  2. During a school-based evaluation, an OTR uses the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (Beery VMI). This test assesses:

    Answer: The integration of visual perception with finger-hand movements to copy geometric forms

    The Beery VMI measures the degree to which visual perception and motor behavior are integrated through a copying task using geometric designs.

  3. An OTR evaluating a client with multiple sclerosis uses the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). What is the FSS designed to measure?

    Answer: The impact of fatigue on daily functioning

    The FSS is a nine-item self-report scale that measures how fatigue interferes with certain activities and rates its severity.

  4. A pediatric OTR uses criterion-referenced assessment rather than norm-referenced assessment. The PRIMARY advantage of criterion-referenced tools is that they:

    Answer: Determine if specific skills are mastered regardless of peer comparison

    Criterion-referenced assessments determine mastery of specific skills against predetermined criteria, not relative to peer performance.

  5. When evaluating a client's performance context, the OTR notes that the client lives alone in a two-story home with no elevator. According to the OTPF, this is classified as a(n):

    Answer: Physical environment context

    The physical environment includes the natural and built surroundings in which the client lives and performs occupations, such as home layout and architecture.

  6. An OTR is evaluating hand sensation using Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments. The finding 'diminished light touch' corresponds to which monofilament value range?

    Answer: 3.22–3.61

    Monofilament values of 3.22–3.61 correspond to diminished light touch, indicating early sensory loss in the hand.

  7. An OTR evaluates a client with a spinal cord injury using the SCIM III (Spinal Cord Independence Measure). What is the SCIM III designed to assess?

    Answer: Functional independence in self-care, respiration, and mobility

    The SCIM III measures functional independence across self-care, respiration/sphincter management, and mobility domains specific to SCI populations.
