OTA OT Fundamentals 4

Question 1

Which level of Bloom's Taxonomy is being demonstrated when a client can explain why a joint protection technique works, rather than just performing it?

Accepted Answer

Progress has ceased and further skilled intervention is unlikely to produce improvement

Question 3

According to AOTA's Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics, the principle of 'beneficence' requires that OT practitioners:

Beneficence obligates practitioners to actively promote the health and well-being of clients and to act in their best interests.

Question 4

In which practice setting would an OTA MOST likely use a 'sensory diet' as an intervention strategy?

Sensory diets, individualized programs of sensory activities to support regulation, are most commonly used in pediatric settings with children who have sensory processing differences.

Question 5

A client demonstrates difficulty with figure-ground discrimination. Which ADL task would MOST likely be affected?
