After a patient has spinal fusion surgery at C5-C6, how should CBP care be adjusted?
Answer: Get surgeon clearance and avoid loading or adjusting the fused segments
Fused segments cannot be corrected and post-surgical care requires surgeon clearance and protection of the fusion.
In CBP, what is the general order of goals when treating structural spinal displacements?
Answer: Relieve symptoms, then restore structure, then maintain the correction
CBP care typically progresses from initial relief to corrective rehab and then maintenance.
Which documentation shows a CBP x-ray was clinically justified?
Answer: Clinical indications in the history and exam that support the need for imaging
Imaging should be supported by documented clinical indications to justify radiation exposure.
How often must OSHA bloodborne pathogens training be provided to exposed employees?
Answer: At hire and at least annually
OSHA requires training at initial assignment and at least annually thereafter.
How many total sessions is a common initial CBP corrective block before re-examination?
Answer: About 30-36 sessions
A block of roughly 30-36 visits over 10-12 weeks is commonly followed by re-examination and radiographs.
What is the typical frequency recommended during an initial CBP corrective care phase?
Answer: About three visits per week
Corrective phases commonly use around three visits per week over roughly 10-12 weeks.
How should errors be handled in quality improvement?
Answer: Report errors through proper channels, take corrective action, and communicate with affected patients
A culture of safety requires honest error reporting, corrective action, and transparent communication with affected patients.
Mirror Image exercises in a CBP rehabilitation program are most accurately described as:
Answer: Isometric and isotonic exercises performed in the postural opposite of the patient's spinal deformity
CBP Mirror Image exercises are direction-specific — the patient contracts muscles while positioned in the mirror image of their deformity, reinforcing the corrective tissue changes initiated by adjustments and traction.
Which of the following is the best reason CBP describes posture as translations and rotations of the head, thorax, and pelvis?
Answer: It allows exact, repeatable labeling of displacement for analysis and mirror image correction
Describing posture with defined rotations and translations gives a standard, measurable language that guides mirror image treatment.
A patient presents with anterior head translation and cervical hypolordosis. Which CBP traction setup is most appropriate?
Answer: Cervical extension traction combined with posterior head translation
Extension traction with posterior translation simultaneously restores lordosis and reduces forward head posture.
The Hawthorne effect in a QI project refers to:
Answer: Improved performance because people know they are being observed
People often change their behavior when they know they are being studied, which can inflate measured improvement.
Which federal initiative sets 10-year national health promotion and disease prevention objectives in the U.S.?
Answer: Healthy People 2030
Healthy People, run by HHS, sets measurable 10-year national health objectives; the current version is Healthy People 2030.
What quality improvement method applies to interdisciplinary care?
Answer: Continuous quality improvement using data-driven Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles
Continuous quality improvement using PDSA cycles and data-driven analysis ensures ongoing enhancement of care delivery.
How should patient consent be obtained for interdisciplinary care procedures?
Answer: Informed consent including risks, benefits, alternatives, and right to refuse
Informed consent requires a thorough discussion of risks, benefits, alternatives, and the patient's right to refuse treatment.
CBP clinical studies on cervical extension traction usually describe a course of care of approximately:
Answer: 30-36 sessions over about 10-12 weeks
Most CBP trials report around 30-36 sessions given about 3 times weekly before follow-up radiographs.
Which radiographic measurement confirms successful progress in a CBP cervical mirror image traction program?
Answer: Increase in the cervical Cobb angle toward the Harrison normal of approximately 34°
In CBP, improvement in cervical lordosis is quantified by the Cobb angle increasing toward Harrison's established normal of approximately 34°, confirming successful structural correction.
Which geometric shape best describes the Harrison ideal lumbar lordosis?
Answer: A portion of an ellipse
Harrison modeled the lumbar lordosis as an elliptical curve, with more lordosis in the lower segments.
Which method best confirms that a patient understood home-care instructions?
Answer: Using the teach-back method
Teach-back asks the patient to explain the instructions in their own words, which confirms comprehension.
What privacy protection applies to documentation standards records?
Answer: HIPAA and applicable state laws protect all patient health information
HIPAA and applicable state privacy laws protect all patient health information regardless of format or procedure type.
A CBP patient with diabetes reports new foot numbness and a non-healing sore on the sole. Who should the chiropractor refer to?
Answer: The patient's physician or a podiatrist for diabetic foot evaluation
A non-healing foot ulcer with neuropathy in a diabetic patient needs prompt medical or podiatric care.
