Question 1

The World Health Organization published the ICF classification system to do all of the following EXCEPT:
A) Provide a method for universal coding and comparison across systems
B) Establish a medical diagnosis code for billing and classification
C) Integrate social and medical models
D) Attempt to move toward the concept of a continuum of function and away from the stigma of disability

Accepted Answer

The ICF classification system was not created to establish a medical diagnosis code for billing and classification. Instead, it aims to integrate social and medical models, provide a method for universal coding and comparison across systems, and attempt to move toward the concept of a continuum of function and away from the stigma of disability.

Question 2

A frame of reference is defined as:
A) The theoretical perspective that organizes approach to client management
B) A treatment method
C) A theory
D) The background knowledge to undertake an intervention

Accepted Answer

A frame of reference is a theoretical perspective that guides a therapist's approach to client management. It provides a foundation for understanding the client's needs, challenges, strengths, and abilities, and it informs the selection of interventions and strategies to promote positive outcomes. Examples of frames of reference include cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, and occupation-based approaches.

Question 3

Therapists typically assume that if a person acquires the functional activity, participation will automatically follow. This belief is:
A) True, because if people have the capacity, they will do the activity in a participatory way
B) Not always true, because capacity in a standard environment does not perfectly predict performance in a usual environment
C) Proven through evidence-based outcomes research
D) Never inherent in typical assessments and practices of setting goals

Accepted Answer

While having the capacity for a functional activity is important, it does not always guarantee participation in real-life situations. Factors such as environmental barriers and personal motivation can affect a person's ability to participate in activities, even if they have the capacity to do so. This has been supported by research in the field of occupational therapy.

Question 4

If an individual can walk 10 feet in the therapy gym using a rollator walker, you may assume:
A) The person has the capacity to walk using the walker.
B) The person demonstrates the performance of using the walker.
C) This ability will be carried out in all other environments, including the home.
D) This person will be a community ambulatory, with modifications.

Accepted Answer

The answer of If an individual can walk 10 feet...

Question 5

Which of the following would NOT be considered an activity of daily living (ADL)?
A) Brushing teeth
B) Going grocery shopping
C) Preparing a meal
D) Eating a meal

Accepted Answer

Going grocery shopping is not typically considered an activity of daily living (ADL) as it is not essential for basic personal care and function. ADLs usually refer to tasks such as grooming, dressing, bathing, toileting, and feeding oneself.

Question 6

If a person cannot afford to renovate their home after an accident that leaves him or her needing to use a wheelchair,
A) This is a contextual factor, which is a barrier
B) This may influence activity and participation
C) This is an example of the interaction between social and medical models inherent in the ICF
D) All of these

Accepted Answer

All of the given options are correct. This scenario represents a contextual factor that presents a barrier to the individual's ability to engage in activities and participate in society while using a wheelchair. Additionally, this situation highlights the interaction between social and medical models of disability, as the physical impairment requires a medical intervention (using a wheelchair) while the social and environmental factors (inability to afford home renovations) create barriers to full participation in society.

Question 7

Quality of life is a term that means:
A) Absence of disease
B) Fulfillment of basic, but not complex needs
C) Perception of life satisfaction
D) Long life expectancy

Accepted Answer

Quality of life refers to an individual's perception of their overall life satisfaction, which includes not only basic needs but also complex physical, psychological, and social needs. It is not simply the absence of disease or a long life expectancy, although those factors may contribute to a higher quality of life.

Question 8

An individual with behaviors represented on the autism spectrum is more likely to be diagnosed at an early age today than if the same individual was born in 1960. This is an example of:
A) An age-normative influence
B) A history-normative influence
C) Nonnormative influence
D) The effect of improved obstetrical practices

Accepted Answer

This is an example of a history-normative influence because societal changes, including increased awareness and improved diagnostic criteria over time, have made early diagnosis of autism more likely today than in the past.

Question 9

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health is associated with all of the following terms EXCEPT:
A) Activities and Participation
B) Handicap
C) Contextual Factors
D) Structure and Function

Accepted Answer

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is associated with the terms Activities and Participation, Contextual Factors, and Structure and Function. However, it is not associated with the term Handicap, as the ICF uses the term "disability" instead, which refers to a problem in body function or structure or an activity limitation or participation restriction that results from an impairment.

Question 10

Employment is an important participation outcome for individuals in their 20s up until their 60s. Employment typically falls in the ICF dimension of:
A) Learning and applying knowledge
B) Self-care
C) Major life areas
D) Domestic life

Accepted Answer

Employment falls under the ICF dimension of major life areas, which refers to the essential areas of life that individuals engage in, including employment, education, and community participation. The other options, learning and applying knowledge, self-care, and domestic life, do not directly relate to employment as a participation outcome.
