What is the dominant arm?

When taking blood pressure on a new client, best practice includes taking blood pressure in both arms. When taking blood pressure on an existing client, this is the arm you use:
What is the arm that routinely has the higher value?
When completing grip and pinch strength testing, the practitioners responsibilities include:
What is providing instructions for the assessment, ensuring correct test position of the client, providing support for the measuring instrument, and documenting results.
When completing the Box and Blocks, this is the amount of time a client has to practice the assessment:

Who are the wheelchair vendor, PT, and OT?
This type of isolation prevents the spread of pathogens through close respiratory contact with respiratory secretions:
What is droplet isolation?
When reporting respiratory rate, your report should include this:
What is the number of inspiration/exhalation cycles in 1 minute and the quality of respiration?
This is the patient positioning for grip strength testing
What is seated with the shoulder adducted and in neutral rotation, elbow flexed to 90 degrees, forearm in neutral and wrist in 0-30 degrees of extension and 0-15 degrees of ulnar deviation.
True/False: When completing sensation testing, you should testing in a pattern for your convenience.
What is false.
This is the description of what test: The test is performed with a leveled yardstick while seated, the clients hips, knees, and ankles are positioned to 90 degrees of flexion and the feet are flat on the floor.

B. Systolic pressure decreases >10mmHG
C. Systolic pressure is >240mmHg
D. Diastolic pressure increases >20mmHg
Using the volumeter is the gold standard for measuring edema, this is the process to use the volumeter:
1. Fill the volumeter until water leaves the device.
2. Allow water to leave until there are no more drips.
3. Assist the client in lowering their upper extremity into the volumeter and rest it on the bar.
4. Collect the displaced water.
5. Pour the displaced water in a graduated cylinder and measure it on a level surface.
You are meeting a new client who has self-referred to OT due to difficulty opening and closing clothing fasteners and difficulty managing items items in the kitchen during cooking. You suspect there is a sensory and fine motor component. During your evaluation you would begin with this assessment:
What is observation during a functional task before a formal assessment?
