Cardiopulmonary & Oncology
Following MI, discharge may occur once the client demonstrates this specific self-management competency.
What is proper physical activity monitoring/self-monitoring?
A client reports numbness in their feet and keeps burning themselves while cooking. What diabetes-related complication is MOST likely affecting occupational performance?
What is sensory loss/neuropathy.
This stage of HIV infection is characterized by high viral load and flu-like symptoms, making transmission risk especially elevated.
What is acute infection?
These two cancer interventions are the most common causes of secondary lymphedema.
What are lymph node removal and radiation therapy?
This serious pulmonary complication may occur when food or liquid enters the airway during swallowing.
What is aspiration pneumonia?
This COPD intervention minimizes Valsalva-related oxygen demand during activity participation.
What is rhythmic breathing?
Type 2 diabetes pathophysiology primarily involves these two metabolic dysfunctions.
What are insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction?
A client is symptom free but still able to transmit HIV. Which stage are they MOST likely in?
What is clinical latency?
Besides swelling, name another common symptom of lymphedema that may impact occupational performance.
what is heaviness, tightness, pain, or reduced movement
During dysphagia intervention, OTs frequently modify this biomechanical factor to improve swallow safety during meals.
What is positioning/postural adjustment?
A resting systolic BP above this value is a contraindication for activity in MI and CHF.
What is 200 mmHg?
A client with an A1C of 6.1% and fasting plasma glucose of 118 mg/dL falls within this diagnostic classification.
What is pre-diabetes?
An OT leads community education and safer health behavior programs. Which level of prevention is this?
Wha is primary prevention?
This OT intervention teaches clients external pressure methods to reduce fluid accumulation and swelling.
What is compression education/compression strategies?
This compensatory feeding strategy reduces aspiration risk by controlling bolus amount and intake speed.
What are pacing strategies and smaller bites?
In acute oncology care, therapists must continually monitor these values due to treatment-related immunosuppression and bleeding risks.
What are blood counts and laboratory values?
This diabetes-management intervention targets occupational performance by organizing timing, routines, and administration schedules.
What is medication management?
What is the primary OT focus during tertiary prevention for HIV/AIDS?
What is maximizing occupational participation, independence, and quality of life?
Beyond swelling reduction, OT intervention for lymphedema also targets these three upper-extremity performance areas.
What are range of motion, strength, and fine motor skills?
OTs frequently collaborate with this rehabilitation professional to address swallowing safety and feeding independence.
Who is the speech-language pathologist (SLP)?
This occupation-focused assessment specifically evaluates neurodevelopmental ADL performance.
What is the A-One (Arnadottir OT-ADL Neurobehavioral Evaluation)?
An OT recommends lighting modifications, fall prevention, and temperature control in the home. What diabetes complications are they MOST likely addressing?
What is vision loss and sensory impairments/neuropathy
These three categories of barriers/challenges are examined in the Pizzi Assessment of Productive Living.
What are physical, psychosocial, and environmental barriers?
In lymphedema management, skin care education is critical for preventing this major medical complication.
What is infection?
This OT dysphagia intervention focuses on altering environmental and behavioral factors during meals to maximize safe participation and independence in feeding.
What are pacing strategies and environmental modifications?
