An occupational therapist observes a 7-year-old child brushing their teeth at home. The child stands on a stool to reach the sink, uses a built-up toothbrush handle due to fine motor difficulties, follows a visual schedule for steps, and completes the task independently before school as part of their morning routine. This type of analysis is BEST described as ________. 

The supervising occupational therapists meet to plan the workload of recently hired occupational therapy assistants (OTAs). Which is an appropriate task for them to assign to the OTAs? 

Read the following statement and determine which section of the SOAP note it belongs in.  “Inability to incorporate breathing techniques and energy conservation techniques into basic ADL tasks without verbal prompts limits her ability to live alone independently after discharge.” 

During an initial evaluation, the OT asks Pat to give a little history of herself. Pat mentions that she has 3 children, multiple grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. She was married but her spouse passed away over 10 years ago. She also used to work as an administrative assistant at a local law firm before retiring. These are all examples of which part of the occupational profile? 

What constructs does the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) measure? 

A child arrives for an occupational therapy evaluation late and wearing soiled clothes. The occupational therapist assumes that the child is going to perform poorly on the standardized assessment that is going to be part of the child’s evaluation that day. This example is most representative of which type of bias? 

You performed a top-down evaluation in the acute care setting. You identified through the chart review that the patient is admitted following spinal surgery, their pain is being managed with pain medication,  and they have activity precautions. The physician requested an OT evaluation to assess ADL participation and safety for homegoing. You spent 30 minutes in the patient’s room for your initial bedside evaluation. Overall, the chart review process was extensive due to the patient’s social history, your assessment revealed 4 performance deficits, and your detailed assessment revealed that there are multiple treatment options available. Minimal to moderate task modifications will be necessary for the patient to safely perform ADLs after discharge. What evaluation CPT code would you bill for this patient? 

Kyle’s t-score was a 71 (98th percentile) for the tactile portion of the Sensory Processing Measure-2 Adult Self-Report assessment. Reminder: On the SPM-2, a standard T-score of 50 is average/typical, with a standard deviation of 10.  True or False: Kyle has the same or fewer tactile processing differences than 98% of people. 

In the development of the Developmental Assessment of Young Children (DAYC), a sample of 1800 children, ages 0-71 months, in 20 different states was used to determine scores of development, which therapists now use to compare the scores of children whom they administer this test. Given this information, you can conclude that scoring for the DAYC is _____. 

It is possible for a patient to have gingivitis that is not caused by bacterial plaque. Periodontitis can be malocclusion.
