It's very cold outside and Bill gets into the spa, turning it up to its maximum temperature (106DegF). After several minutes in the water, he faints and would have drowned if a passerby had not saved him.
Which best explains what happened?

  1. His body could not tolerate the shock going from cold to hot.
  2. He suffered a heart attack due to the excess heat.
  3. He fainted from a lack of oxygenated blood to his brain.
  4. He received second-degree burns and went into shock.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When the body is exposed to prolonged heat, more blood is shunted to superficial veins in order to lower body temperature. This results in decreased venous return to the heart. The resulting lowered cardiac output causes less oxygenated blood to reach the brain, causing dizziness and fainting.

A protrusion of the intestine thru the inguinal canal is referred to as ____________.

  1. diverticulum
  2. exophthalmos
  3. hernia
  4. bulqaria

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

A hernia occurs when an organ, or the surrounding fascial tissue of the organ, protrudes through the wall or membrane that contains it. Hernias can occur at various points within the body and are often named by their location. This question deals with an inguinal hernia. Hernias are classified as either reducible hernias or irreducible hernias. Reducible hernias can be manually reversed by applying direct pressure whereas irreducible hernias need surgery to reverse the condition.



A client who often jokes about going out on a date is _________________.

  1. breaking confidentiality
  2. testing boundaries
  3. exploring the therapeutic relationship
  4. just being kind

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Any client who routinely requests to explore beyond the professional environment is testing the boundaries and professionalism of the therapist. Remember, the therapist is always at fault for allowing a breach of professional boundaries. The repercussions can lead to a hefty fine and/or loss of a massage license.



A client has asked a massage therapist to volunteer at a special event for the mentally disabled. The massage therapist would be the only massage therapist at the event. The therapist has over 10 years of experience and is well trained in massage. However, the massage therapist is uncomfortable working with people who have difficulties with communication.
Which of the following is a valid explanation for declining the request in this situation?

  1. Inability to work with people who cannot communicate
  2. Lack of necessary training and skills
  3. Lack of additional support during the event
  4. Only works for money

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Communication is a very important component of the client/therapist relationship. A therapist who prefers the feedback and open communication from a client is justified to decline work if the client cannot communicate with the massage therapist.
