PEAT Exam 2 Newest 2025 Complete 200 Questions And Correct Detailed Answers (Verified Answers)|Already Graded A+
- The physical therapist is positioning a patient for postural
drainage. To BEST drain the posterior segment of both lower lobes, the patient should be placed in which of the following positions?
- Prone, head down at a 45° angle
- Supine, flat surface
- Sidelying, head elevated at a 30° angle
- Sitting, leaning forward - ANSWER-A.
The best position for the patient, to drain the posterior segment of both lower lobes would be prone lying with the head down and the lower extremities and hips elevated to about 45°.
- A patient who has a right piriformis syndrome is referred to
physical therapy for evaluation and intervention. The patient's history includes a total hip arthroplasty on the right side 2 years 1 / 4
- | P a g e
ago. Because of the total hip arthroplasty, which of the following interventions require added precautions for this patient?
- Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
- Continuous ultrasound
- Hot packs
- Massage to the right hip - ANSWER-B.
The only one of the above interventions that requires precaution because of the total hip replacement is continuous ultrasound.However, that does not mean that ultrasound is contraindicated for this patient. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation may be used over metal implants. Hot packs and massage would not affect the total hip prosthesis.
- A patient presents with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder
joint. The range of motion examination reveals restricted lateral (external) rotation and abduction of the shoulder. The FIRST
mobilization procedure that should be done for this patient is:
- posterior glide.
- distraction 2 / 4
- | P a g e
- anterior glide
- lateral (external) rotation - ANSWER-B.
For this patient, the first mobilization procedure would be distraction of the glenohumeral joint. The distraction separates the joint surfaces and is used as a test of joint play. The distraction can also help increase joint play. Distraction may also be used in conjunction with the other mobilization techniques listed. Later mobilization techniques would most likely include anterior glide.
- A patient sustained a severe, traumatic brain injury 3 months
ago. During the examination of passive range of motion, the physical therapist notices decreased passive knee extension and moderate hamstring spasticity. Palpation of the knee reveals a firm mass on the lateral aspect of the joint. The therapist should
refer the patient to a physician for an evaluation of probable:
- osteogenic sarcoma
- patellar fracture
- osteomyelitis
- heterotopic ossification - ANSWER-D.
- / 4
- | P a g e
Heterotopic ossification occurs in 10 percent to 20 percent of patients with traumatic brain injuries. The abnormal bone formation occurs in the soft tissue surrounding major joints.Patients with spasticity are at increased risk. Loss of range of motion is characteristic for this problem. Osteogenic sarcoma is less likely. A patellar fracture would not present as a lateral mass
- A patient reports anterolateral shoulder pain with an insidious
onset. Examination shows full passive range of motion pain on passive lateral (external) rotation and pain on resistive medial (internal) rotation. These signs are consistent with a diagnosis
of:
- bicipital tendonitis
- supraspinatus tendonitis
- subscapularis tendonitis
- infraspinatus tendonitis - ANSWER-C.
Pain with resisted medial (internal) rotation and pain with passive lateral (external) rotation is indicative of subscapularis tendonitis. Bicipital tendonitis is suspected if resisted supination is painful when the patient's arm is at the side and the elbow is flexed to 90°. Painful resisted abduction and resisted lateral (external) rotation is indicative of supraspinatus tendinitis. Pain
