COMLEX LEVEL 3 CDM REVIEW QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS LATEST UPDATE!!
A 12-year-old female is brought to your office after her cheerleading
teammates told her that she looked "crooked," with her left shoulder higher
than her right. She does not have any back pain, but she is concerned that
her shoulders look uneven when she is standing. Vital signs reveal:
Temp 37.9C (98.6F)
BP 108/62
HR 68
RR 12
On initial standing postural examination, you note that the right shoulder is
slightly lower than the left shoulder, but the iliac crests appear level.
Question 1 What additional evaluation(s), if any, will you perform at this
time? (up to 2) - Answers Forward Bending Test (Or Scoliosis

evaluated at this time, and imaging studies would not be obtained until after
a trial of osteopathic manipulative treatment to correct any somatic
dysfunction present.
