• A. Exploratory
• B. Functional or relational
• C. Pretend
• D. Symbolic or imaginary

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Exploratory play is characterized by exploring sensory experiences and learning about the environment. In this type of play, infants engage in activities like looking, touching, and responding to familiar stimuli to understand the world around them.

2. Which law provides for infants and toddlers aged 0-2 who are in need of comprehensive early intervention services?

• A. IDEA- Part B
• B. IDEA- Part A
• C. IFSP
• D. IDEA- Part C

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, IDEA Part C. IDEA Part C specifically focuses on providing early intervention services to infants and toddlers with disabilities. This law ensures that children aged 0-2 receive the necessary support and services to aid in their development and address any disabilities or developmental delays early on. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. IDEA Part B pertains to services for school-aged children with disabilities, IDEA Part A does not exist in the context of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and IFSP stands for Individualized Family Service Plan, which is a document outlining services for children from birth to age 3 who are experiencing developmental delays or disabilities, but it is not a law in itself.

3. A caregiver is teaching a parent of a child with a new prescription for ferrous sulfate tablets. Which of the following instructions should the caregiver include in the teaching?

• A. Give the medication with milk.
• B. Take the medication on an empty stomach.
• C. Avoid giving the medication with orange juice.
• D. Brush the child's teeth after administration.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: It is important for the caregiver to instruct the parent to brush the child's teeth after administering ferrous sulfate to prevent staining of the teeth. Iron in ferrous sulfate can cause teeth discoloration, so brushing the child's teeth after taking the medication helps prevent this side effect.

4. In the management of heart failure, which diuretic is preferred due to its demonstrated significant mortality reduction in patients with heart failure?

• A. Furosemide (Lasix)
• B. Hydrochlorothiazide (HydroDIURIL)
• C. Spironolactone (Aldactone)
• D. Mannitol (Osmitrol)

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Spironolactone, a potassium-sparing diuretic, is the preferred choice in heart failure due to its cardio-protective effect, leading to reduced mortality in patients with heart failure. It is used to manage both hypertension and edema, making it a valuable option in heart failure treatment.

5. Which of the following is not a model centered on occupation?

• A. Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement
• B. Person-Environment-Occupation-Participation
• C. Biomechanical
• D. Model of Human Occupation

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, the Biomechanical model. This model focuses on the physical aspects of performance rather than occupation. The Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement, Person-Environment-Occupation-Participation, and Model of Human Occupation are all occupation-centered models used in occupational therapy. The Biomechanical model is more focused on the physical aspects of movement and performance rather than the broader concept of occupation.
