Study Notes
COPD Management
- When experiencing shortness of breath and panic, clients should rest their arms on their thighs, which releases the diaphragm for easier breathing.
- Pursed lip breathing is beneficial for slowing breathing and reducing anxiety.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Increasing Active Range of Motion (AROM) is contraindicated.
Compression Therapy Post-Surgery
- Spandex bicycle pants can initiate compression therapy for clients two weeks post-op skin grafting on thighs, providing gentle pressure without shear.
- Custom-made Jobst garments are suitable in later stages.
- Thigh-high TED stockings are contraindicated due to potential shear.
Coban™ Wrap Usage
- Commonly used on smaller body areas, such as fingers.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- In Mental Health Occupational Therapy, CBT focuses on improving social and life skills through observational learning and modeling.
Psychodynamic Approach
- Involves clients expressing unacknowledged feelings through artistic activities, facilitating emotional expression.
MOHO Approach
- Emphasizes skilled performance of activities within a contextual framework.
Dynamic Interactional Model
- Concentrates on tasks with environmental conditions that resonate with clients and applies cognitive strategies for skill transfer across contexts.
OASIS in Home Health
- The Outcome and Assessment Information Set is used to identify payers for services in home health settings.
Visual Sensitivity Issues
- Difficulty seeing gray cars in rain indicates impaired contrast sensitivity.
- Increased time identifying objects and eye fatigue signals impaired ocular motor skills.
- Tendency to drift out of lanes suggests neglect or visual attention deficits.
- Problems seeing users or objects in tunnels indicate visual acuity impairments.
Pediatric Signs
- A positive Gower's sign indicates potential Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
- Abdominal distention in infants may suggest cystic fibrosis.
- Excessive bruising (non-abuse-related) may indicate hemophilia.
- Positive Trendelenburg's sign could relate to hip dysplasia.
- Symptoms like pain, swelling, and stiffness may indicate complex regional pain syndrome.
Chronic Pain Conditions
- Pain, fatigue, and tender points may suggest fibromyalgia.
- Numbness and tingling in fingers suggest carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Area hypersensitive and painful to touch indicates a neuroma.
Functional Independence Measure (FIM)
- A FIM score of "3" indicates moderate assistance (Mod A).
Tuckman's Theory of Group Development
- Forming: Dependence.
- Storming: Conflict and competition.
- Norming: Initiation of cohesion.
- Performing: Group productivity and trust.
Task Tool Modification
- Adapting task tools is a core intervention strategy in the Ecology of Human Performance Model.
Sensory Integration
- Movement-based activities are a strategy in Sensory Integration (SI).
- Occupational Adaptation Model emphasizes developing mastery.
Biomechanical Approach
- Strengthening hand muscles is part of a biomechanical rehabilitation approach.
Wheelchair Mobility
- Gripping the front of the pushrim and giving tiny pushes indicates a seat back that is too high, restricting shoulder extension.
Motivational Interviewing Principles
- Rolling with resistance and expressing empathy.
- Developing discrepancies and supporting self-efficacy.
Radial Head Fracture
- Type III fractures require removal of fragmented bone and casting for 3-4 weeks.
BOT-2 Assessment
- Assesses fine and gross motor functioning affected by dyspraxia.
Sensory Profile
- Used to understand how sensory issues affect a child's daily activities.
Heart Rhythm Conditions
- Tachydysrhythmia: Fast heart rate (200-300 bpm), common in children with cardiac conditions.
- Bradydysrhythmia: Heart rate <60 bpm, may require a pacemaker.
Drug Therapy
- Donepezil improves memory and cognition but can cause dizziness.
Spinal Cord Injury Care
- Low-level (T1) SCI clients should be independent in personal care with minimal homemaking assistance upon discharge.
- Higher-level SCI (C1-C4) may need 24-hour attendant care, while C5-C6 may require 12 hours.
Caregiver Burden in Dementia
- OTR's primary role is to recommend home modifications to support clients and reduce caregiver burden.
Supported Employment Programs
- Place-and-train approaches yield better employment outcomes compared to train-then-place methods.
