1Which of the following is the best example of rank-ordered discrete data
- distance walked
- political party
- time to complete a test
- degree of burn
2What type of data is needed to calculate sensitivity and specificity outcomes?
- dichotomous
- interval
- rank ordered
- continuous
3what characteristic of an assessment is most important if a therapist is interested in an assessment that will measure changes over time
- validity
- norm-referencing
- responsiveness
- reliability
4The Denver Developmental Screening Test identifies the percentage of children that are able to perform a certain task. This is an example of which type of test
- criterion referenced test
- norm-referenced test
- provocative test
- reliable test
5A therapist administers a test without any training or practive and ends up with inaccurate results. This is an example of
- poor sensitivity
- trait error
- method error
- poor specificity
6You are trying to select the best measure to identify patients ready for discharge. It is most critical that you correctly identify those that are not ready because you don't want to discharge individuals too soon. For this reason, you should select a test with:
- equal amounts of sensitivity and specificity
- good specificity
- strong validity
- good sensitivity
7Two therapists score a test very differently. This suggests that the test has
- poor inter-rater reliability
- poor responsiveness
- poor sensitivity and specificity
- poor test-retest reliability
8A study finds that MCID = 5.75 for the Loewenstein Occupation Therapy Cognitive Assessment - Geriatric. This means:
- an improvement greater than 5.75 points is clinically meaningful
- the test is a good predictor of dimentia
- the test should be avoided for assessing change in practive
- the test has good reliability
9A new measure of upper extremity function is administered along with Fugl-Meyer Assessment of Motor Function because the Fugl-Meyer is widely accepted for its psychometric properties. This study will provide evidence to evaluate the new measure's:
- discriminant validity
- concurrent validity
- internal consistency
- test-retest reliability
10A study finds that the sensitivity is 67% and specificity is 93% for the Phalen's test in identifying people with carpal tunnel syndrome. This sugests that the Phalen's test would be most useful:
- when multiple therapists will be administering the same measure
- as an assessment for identifying people that do not have carpel tunnel syndrome
- For meausring improvement in carpal tunnel rehabilitation
- as a screening tool to identify people with carpal tunnel syndrome
