CRC Medical Aspects 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which type of spinal cord injury results in complete loss of motor and sensory function below the level of injury?
- Incomplete injury
- Complete injury (Correct answer)
- Partial injury
- Transient injury
Correct answer: Complete injury
A complete spinal cord injury (ASIA A) results in total loss of motor and sensory function below the neurological level of injury.
Question 2: A client with Type 2 diabetes is referred for vocational rehabilitation. Which work accommodation is MOST important to discuss?
- Reduced workload
- Scheduled breaks for blood glucose monitoring and meals (Correct answer)
- Remote work only
- No accommodation needed
Correct answer: Scheduled breaks for blood glucose monitoring and meals
Scheduled breaks for blood glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and meals are critical accommodations for workers with Type 2 diabetes.
Question 3: Which condition is characterized by inflammation of the joints caused by the immune system attacking the body's own tissues?
- Osteoarthritis
- Gout
- Rheumatoid arthritis (Correct answer)
- Bursitis
Correct answer: Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the synovial lining of joints, causing inflammation and joint damage.
Question 4: The term 'prosthesis' refers to which of the following?
- A device that replaces a missing body part (Correct answer)
- A device that supports a weakened body part
- Surgical reconstruction of a body part
- Physical therapy for limb function
Correct answer: A device that replaces a missing body part
A prosthesis is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, such as an artificial limb or eye.
Question 5: Which neuromuscular disease causes progressive muscle weakness due to acetylcholine receptor antibodies at the neuromuscular junction?
- Multiple sclerosis
- Myasthenia gravis (Correct answer)
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
- Guillain-Barré syndrome
Correct answer: Myasthenia gravis
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies block acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction, causing fatigable muscle weakness.
Question 6: A client has a below-knee amputation. Which residual limb characteristic is MOST important for successful prosthetic fitting?
- Short residual limb length
- Well-healed, cylindrical residual limb (Correct answer)
- Presence of phantom limb pain
- Recent amputation within 6 months
Correct answer: Well-healed, cylindrical residual limb
A well-healed, cylindrical residual limb with adequate length provides the best socket fit and functional outcome for prosthetic use.
Question 7: Which cardiac condition is characterized by chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, typically triggered by exertion?
- Myocardial infarction
- Angina pectoris (Correct answer)
- Pericarditis
- Endocarditis
Correct answer: Angina pectoris
Angina pectoris is chest pain or discomfort caused by myocardial ischemia during exertion when oxygen demand exceeds supply.
