A COTA is teaching a client, who has rheumatoid arthritis,
techniques for modifying activities that typically apply
lateral pinch forces against the thumb and fingers. What is
the purpose of providing this type of instruction?
A.Reduce the risk of developing MCP joint ulnar drift.
B.Minimize boutonnière posturing of the thumb and index
finger.
C.Promote dexterity and strength for fine motor control.
D.Prevent factors that cause swan-neck deformity. Correct

result in ulnar deviation deformities. Modifying activities
that typically apply lateral pinch forces against the thumb
and fingers reduces the risk of developing MCP joint ulnar
drift.
A client has sensory-perceptual deficits secondary to a
mild CVA. Motor skills remain intact. Which task would be
BEST to ask the patient to complete when screening for
tactile agnosia?
A.Turning a water faucet on and off
B.Picking up objects from a tabletop
C.Distinguishing a key from a coin in a pocket
,D.Holding an eating utensil in the dominant hand Correct
Answer Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Tactile gnosis is the ability to recognize familiar objects by
touch with vision occluded. A client with tactile agnosia
would not be able to find a key in a pocket since the client
would not be able to distinguish the object's characteristics
without the aid of visual cues.
An inpatient has neurobehavioral deficits secondary to a
CVA one month ago. At the time of the initial evaluation,

listed in the intervention plan for achieving this goal. What
action should the COTA take prior to the NEXT scheduled
BADL session with this patient?
A.Revise the intervention plan with new short term goals.
B.Collaborate with the OTR to review the intervention
goals.
C.Administer a standardized functional assessment.
Correct Answer Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
It is the responsibility of the COTA to collaborate with the
OTR when there is a change in the patient's status and to
discuss options for modifying the intervention plan.

the COTA in determining the client's desire to adopt a new
approach to managing chronic pain.
An inpatient had a CVA 3 weeks ago and is preparing for

time. What action should the COTA take in response to
learning this information?

decision.
