Practice answers and explanations
Check the answer and the reason. For lists, count each required member; for short answers, credit accurate course-supported wording rather than requiring an exact sentence.
1. A PTA and nurse agree how mobility practice can support safe toileting. This is an example of:
B. Interprofessional collaboration
Different professions coordinate toward a shared patient goal. PT/PTA alone would be intraprofessional.
Purtilo Ch 8-9 2026.pptx slide(s) 3–5
2. A teammate offers an unfamiliar approach. Which response best shows flexibility?
C. Ask the teammate to explain their reasoning
Asking for the reasoning shows openness; rejection, hierarchy, or silence prevents useful exchange.
Purtilo Ch 8-9 2026.pptx slide(s) 5
3. The team has no common questions or format for discussing patient progress. Which barrier fits best?
A. Lack of shared structures
The missing common communication framework is a lack of shared structures, rather than physical separation or time alone.
Purtilo Ch 8-9 2026.pptx slide(s) 6
4. Which opening best fits the dialogue model?
D. “Tell me more about what has been difficult at home.”
An invitation to elaborate lets the patient describe concerns. The other choices primarily request closed factual answers.
Purtilo Ch 8-9 2026.pptx slide(s) 11
5. A patient nods after HEP teaching. What best confirms understanding?
B. Ask the patient to explain or demonstrate the instructions
Explanation or demonstration reveals what the patient understood. Agreement alone is insufficient.
Purtilo Ch 8-9 2026.pptx slide(s) 9,13,21
6. A listener organizes symptoms into categories. Which level is this?
C. Analytical
Analytical listening sorts specific information. Directed seeks a particular answer; attentive seeks the overall picture; courteous reflects obligation.
Purtilo Ch 8-9 2026.pptx slide(s) 18
7. Which demonstration best follows the slide guidance?
A. In full view, beside/to the side of the patient

20. Carlson said to learn both the types of play and their ages.
True
T03 1:02:51–1:03:04 explicitly confirms both ages and meanings.
Purtilo Ch 10-11 2026.pptx slide(s) 10
21. The course requires proof before reporting suspected child abuse.
False
The course teaches reporting on suspicion; proof is not the threshold taught.
Purtilo Ch 10-11 2026.pptx slide(s) 12
22. According to the respiratory slide, CT uses x-rays and MRI uses a magnetic field.
True
The slide contrasts these imaging methods directly.
Respiratory System 2026.pptx slide(s) 13
23. Give the term for breathing difficulty while lying supine.
Orthopnea
Dyspnea is the broader term for difficult breathing; orthopnea specifies the position.
Respiratory System 2026.pptx slide(s) 12
24. Give the term for abnormally fast breathing.
Tachypnea
Bradypnea is slow breathing; apnea is absence of breathing; eupnea is normal breathing.
Respiratory System 2026.pptx slide(s) 6,12
25. Give the term for very low oxygen in arterial blood.
Hypoxemia
The slide distinguishes hypoxemia’s arterial-blood focus from its anoxia wording covering blood and tissues.
Respiratory System 2026.pptx slide(s) 11
26. Give the term for air in the pleural space causing lung collapse.
Pneumothorax
Hemothorax involves blood; pleural effusion involves fluid; atelectasis is the broader collapse term.
Respiratory System 2026.pptx slide(s) 8,11
27. Expand DOE.
Dyspnea on exertion
DOE specifies breathlessness with exertion; SOB expands to shortness of breath.
Respiratory System 2026.pptx slide(s) 17
28. Expand RA in this respiratory deck.
Room air
The slide specifies no supplemental oxygen. Use the respiratory context, not another meaning of RA.
Respiratory System 2026.pptx slide(s) 18
29. Expand CPAP.
Continuous positive airway pressure
This expansion is directly listed in the abbreviation table.
Respiratory System 2026.pptx slide(s) 17
30. Expand NICU in the new pediatric material.
Neonatal intensive care unit
The current pediatric slide explicitly supplies neonatal, resolving the old Exam 2 ambiguity for this material.
Purtilo Ch 10-11 2026.pptx slide(s) 6
31. Compare interview and dialogue models and give a useful dialogue prompt.
Interview: fact-focused, often closed questions. Dialogue: open exchange that elicits patient concerns and reduces the power difference. Example: “Tell me more about that.”
Credit the distinction and a prompt allowing elaboration; do not describe dialogue as merely asking more yes/no questions.
Purtilo Ch 8-9 2026.pptx slide(s) 11
32. Explain why a sudden plateau in an infant’s new skills does not by itself contradict orderly development.
Orderliness concerns sequence; discontinuity means the pace can include spurts and pauses. The two principles can occur together.
Credit the difference between sequence and rate; do not claim every plateau is harmless or diagnose the child.
Purtilo Ch 10-11 2026.pptx slide(s) 5
33. A parent wants a video of a demonstrated activity. State the two recording safeguards Carlson taught.
Use the parent’s phone rather than the therapist’s own, and avoid recording other people in the clinic without the required permission.
These safeguards come from T03 30:37–31:19. Do not add a new storage, signature, or consent form rule not provided in the lecture.
Purtilo Ch 10-11 2026.pptx slide(s) 4
34. An adolescent fears a parent will hear everything and begins withholding information. Explain the care concern and your communication approach.
Confidentiality concerns can reduce honest disclosure or deter care. Build trust, give an appropriate voice in decisions, stay calm, and include family appropriately.
Credit the link between trust and disclosure. Do not promise unlimited confidentiality or automatically exclude the family.
Purtilo Ch 10-11 2026.pptx slide(s) 20,21
35. Contrast pulmonary edema and pleural effusion.
Pulmonary edema is fluid in the alveoli; pleural effusion is excess fluid in the pleural space.
The location distinguishes the slide definitions. A generic “fluid in the lungs” answer loses the distinction.
Respiratory System 2026.pptx slide(s) 9,11
36. A patient becomes tearful during instruction. Explain a respectful response.
Offer privacy when possible, listen, acknowledge the difficulty, and adjust the teaching pace. If needed, discuss appropriate support or rescheduling.
Credit listening and empathy; avoid assuming you must solve the underlying problem or keep delivering instructions over the distress.
Purtilo Ch 8-9 2026.pptx slide(s) 15,21
