Occupational Therapist Test Intervention Planning 3

Question 1

A child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) becomes dysregulated during transitions between classroom activities. The MOST appropriate OT intervention is:

Accepted Answer

Implementing a visual schedule and transition warning system

Answer

Visual schedules and transition warnings are evidence-based sensory-regulatory strategies that help children with ASD anticipate and manage transitions.

Question 2

When grading an activity for a client recovering from a hand injury, which change represents UPGRADING the activity?

Accepted Answer

Introducing fine motor manipulation with smaller objects

Answer

Upgrading an activity increases its challenge; using smaller objects requires greater fine motor precision and increased hand function demand.

Question 3

A newly injured client with a C6 spinal cord injury wants to feed himself independently. The MOST appropriate adaptive equipment recommendation is:

Accepted Answer

Universal cuff with a utensil slot

Answer

A universal cuff allows a client with C6 SCI to hold utensils using tenodesis grip, enabling independent self-feeding.

Question 4

An OT working in a school setting identifies a student who struggles with written output despite adequate fine motor skills. The MOST likely area to target in intervention is:

Accepted Answer

Visual-motor integration and handwriting fluency

Answer

When fine motor skills are intact but written output is poor, visual-motor integration and handwriting fluency are the likely underlying factors to address.

Question 5

Which intervention strategy BEST reflects a top-down approach to occupational therapy practice?

Accepted Answer

Starting with the client's identified occupational performance problems

Answer

A top-down approach begins with the client's occupational performance concerns and works backward to identify underlying factors, rather than starting with component skills.
