Scenario:
Question 1
From the five photos provided, select the immobilization device that is most appropriate in this situation.
Scenario:
Question 2
Select all that apply.
Prompt
Response
Apply an ice bag to the anterior and posterior aspects of the knee
Sufficient tissue cooling occurs
Use ice massage on the medial aspect of the knee
Localized pain decreases during treatment, but insufficient tissue cooling is achieved
Apply three to four sweeps of Fluori-Methane spray in a distal to proximal direction
Pain is managed for 20 seconds. No other effect is noted
Utilize a cold whirlpool
Sufficient tissue cooling occurs; however, the athlete is wet and unhappy, and his knee is more swollen after treatment in a gravity-dependent position
Apply a cold compression device to the knee
Sufficient tissue cooling occurs
Apply a cold hydrocollator pack to the knee
Sufficient tissue cooling occurs
Apply elastic wrap, with even compression throughout
Some support is provided, but the athlete notes increased distal swelling after 3 hours
Apply elastic wrap in a distal to proximal direction, with greatest compression pressure distally
A sufficient compression gradient is created
Place the athlete supine with the leg elevated on several pillows
The athlete is comfortable and falls asleep, but elevation is insufficient to minimize distal fluid accumulation
The athlete is placed supine on a split-leg table with his hip flexed to 75°
Elevation is sufficient to minimize distal fluid accumulation
Scenario:
Question 3
Select all that apply.
Use four electrodes in a crossing pattern
Use two electrodes of the same size
Use two electrodes with one being at least three times the size of the other
Frequency: 0–10 pps
Frequency: 80–150 pps
Frequency: 40 pps
Intensity: subsensory
Intensity: motor
Intensity: sensory
On/off time: 1:1 ratio
On/off time: 1:2 ratio
Scenario:
Question 4

The athlete has sustained a bucket handle tear to the medial meniscus of his right knee. The athlete should perform range of motion and open kinetic chain exercises four times each day. Modalities should be used as needed. The athlete can be progressed to touch-down weight-bearing crutch gait. The physician wants to see the athlete in 2 weeks.
The athlete has sustained a midsubstance bucket handle tear of the anterior cruciate ligament. Range of motion and open kinetic chain exercises should be performed four times daily. Modalities should be used as needed. The athlete should progress to total down weight-bearing for 2 weeks.
The athlete has sustained a medial bucket handle tear to the lateral meniscus. Range of motion and open kinetic chain exercises were within normal limits. Modalities are allowed only with prescription. Progress to tibial dependent weight-bearing exercises for the next 2 weeks.
The athlete has sustained a bucket handle tear to the medial meniscus of his right knee. The athlete should perform range of motion and open kinetic chain exercises four times each day. Modalities should be used as needed. The athlete can be progressed to touch-down weight-bearing crutch gait at the end of 2 weeks.
Scenario:
Question 5
The athlete should not take any medication at this time. Ice should be sufficient for managing the pain
The athlete may take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory according to the directions on the label
The athlete may take an over-the-counter analgesic that does not have anti-inflammatory properties
The athlete should schedule to meet with the physician to request a prescription for a narcotic
The athlete may take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication at a prescription-strength dosage to create a true anti-inflammatory effect
