GC Risk Management & Mitigation 4

Question 1

After a client reports post-session soreness that persists more than 72 hours, the instructor's priority is to:

Accepted Answer

Document the report and schedule a re-assessment to rule out injury

Answer

Soreness lasting beyond 72 hours may indicate tissue damage rather than normal DOMS, requiring documentation and re-assessment.

Question 2

Which client population requires the instructor to obtain physician clearance before every new movement phase, not just at enrollment?

Accepted Answer

Clients who are post-surgical within the past 12 months

Answer

Post-surgical clients have evolving healing timelines, so clearance must be updated as new movement demands are introduced.

Question 3

A Gyrotonic instructor suspects a client may be experiencing a cardiac event mid-session. The correct sequence of actions is:

Accepted Answer

Stop the session, call 911, initiate CPR if needed, and stay with the client

Answer

Stopping activity, calling emergency services, and initiating CPR if indicated are the evidence-based priorities for a suspected cardiac event.

Question 4

Risk stratification before beginning Gyrotonic training primarily serves to:

Accepted Answer

Identify medical conditions that require modified or contraindicated programming

Answer

Risk stratification categorizes clients by health status so instructors can tailor programming and identify when medical referral is needed.

Question 5

A client's PAR-Q reveals they are taking blood thinners (anticoagulants). This most directly affects risk management by:

Accepted Answer

Requiring physician clearance before any session

Answer

Anticoagulant use increases bleeding risk from falls or impacts, so physician clearance is required to understand exercise parameters.
