In the previous question, you indicated which Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Code would be most appropriate for the Physical Therapist Assistant to bill Medicare when working on passive range of motion of bilateral knees. Below, explain your rationale for choosing that CPT code.

William (from the scenario above) completed his stay in the skilled nursing facility.  His son, Tim, has decided to move back home to help take care of his father, who has been discharged home.  William has begun physical therapy at Mercer Physical Therapy outpatient facility.  You are currently a PTA student at Mercer Physical Therapy and Mary Murphy, PTA, is your Clinical Instructor. One day William comes into the outpatient PT facility and is very excited to report that his next door neighbor will soon begin receiving home health physical therapy.  He is anxious to know if a PT or a PTA will be coming to his neighbor’s house to provide physical therapy.  Name the one regulatory body (or document) which would inform you if PTAs can provide home health physical therapy in your state?

Your patient, Betty, asks you why another patient (Suzie) is in therapy.  Which of the following is the most appropriate response?

William decided to spend Saturday fishing with his two sons.  William is 68 years old, retired and has Medicare Parts A and B.  William’s 38 year old son, Tim, is unemployed and currently does not have health insurance coverage.  His 28 year old son, Kenneth, works for a heating and air conditioning company and has Aetna PPO health coverage.  Kenneth pays $100 out of each paycheck to Aetna for healthcare coverage for himself and his wife.  While they are fishing, the family is involved in a boating collision (accident).  Kenneth had a broken arm.  He saw an orthopedic doctor in the emergency department, who after X-rays, made a cast for Kenneth.  The doctor sent a bill to Aetna for his services and Aetna sent a check for $600 to the doctor in return. Tim initially had a small bump on his head and some discomfort in his low back.  He decided not to go to the emergency department because he has no health insurance coverage, but one week later his back pain has become severe.  He is considering his options for financing his medical treatment. William underwent a bilateral below-knee amputation (BKA) and after 4 days in the hospital he was transferred to a skilled nursing facility.  He lives alone in a two story house and would have been unable to go straight home from the hospital. Which Medicare part (part A or part B) covered William’s stay in the skilled nursing facility?

William (from the scenario above) completed his stay in the skilled nursing facility.  His son, Tim, has decided to move back home to help take care of his father, who has been discharged home.  William has begun physical therapy at Mercer Physical Therapy outpatient facility.  You are currently a PTA student at Mercer Physical Therapy and Mary Murphy, PTA, is your Clinical Instructor. On William’s last day of outpatient physical therapy at Mercer PT, he says to you, “you know…I’ve seen PTs, PTAs, and PT Aides in the hospital, the skilled nursing facility and here at this facility.  I still don’t get the difference between you guys!”  Explain the difference in education (and entry level degrees) and responsibilities of PTs, PTAs, and PT aides.

First, we’ll test that you can open both R and R Commander in Honorlock. Open up R and then R Commander the usual way,In the top part of the R Commander window, type:mean(c(4,8,10))and hit submit.What output appears in the lower part of the R Commander window?

Barron’s reported that the average number of weeks an individual is unemployed is 17.5 weeks (Barron’s, February 18, 2008). Assume that for the population of all unemployed individuals the population mean length of unemployment is 17.5 weeks and that the population standard deviation is 4 weeks. Suppose you would like to select a random sample of 50 unemployed individuals for a follow-up study.What is the probability that a simple random sample of 50 unemployed individuals will provide a sample mean within 1 week of the population mean? (Round your final answer to four decimal places.)

A manager at a new IKEA store in Frisco, TX claims that customers wait, on average, 5 minutes or less at the checkout. She considers this the status quo and will only take action if there is strong evidence that the average wait time is greater than 5 minutes. To test this, she collects a random sample of 100 customers and finds: Sample mean = 5.4 minutes Sample standard deviation = 2.2 minutes Using a significance level of 0.01, what should the manager conclude? What is the correct conclusion?

The CEO of a large electric utility claims that 80% of his 1,000,000 customers are very satisfied with the service they receive. To test this claim, the local newspaper surveyed 100 customers, selected via simple random sampling. Among them, 73% reported being very satisfied. Based on this data, and using a significance level of 0.05, can we reject the CEO’s claim?
