1The Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS), established by the 1988 Federal Constitution and regulated by Organic Health Laws (Lei nº 8.080/1990 and Lei nº 8.142/1990), is grounded on doctrinal and organizational principles. Which doctrinal principle guarantees that every Brazilian citizen has the inherent right to access health actions and physical therapy services across all levels of complexity without discrimination?
2A physical therapist joins an expanded multiprofessional primary care team (equipe multiprofissional - eMulti / NASF-AP) supporting several Family Health Strategy (Estratégia Saúde da Família - ESF) teams. Within Primary Health Care (Atenção Primária à Saúde - APS), which operational strategy reflects the core mission of physical therapy in matrix support (apoio matricial)?
3Brazil has experienced a rapid demographic and epidemiological transition characterized by population aging and a dominant burden of Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis - DCNT), such as hypertension, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and stroke sequelae. Considering health promotion and disease prevention models, what is the primary objective of secondary prevention (prevenção secundária) conducted by physical therapists?
4An 82-year-old patient with end-stage metastatic oncological disease is admitted to an intensive care unit. The patient is lucid, oriented, and has legally documented an Advance Healthcare Directive (Diretivas Antecipadas de Vontade - DAV) requesting exclusively comfort measures and palliative care without invasive resuscitation or prolonged mechanical ventilation. When a family member demands invasive endotracheal intubation, the physical therapist and multidisciplinary team must prioritize which principlist bioethical pillar?
5The Brazilian Inclusion Law / Statute of the Person with Disability (Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência - Lei Federal nº 13.146/2015) adopts the biopsychosocial model established by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Under this statute, how is disability legally conceptualized?
6According to the Dahlgren and Whitehead model adopted by the National Commission on Social Determinants of Health (Comissão Nacional sobre Determinantes Sociais da Saúde - CNDSS), health conditions and functional outcomes are shaped by multiple layers of determinants. Which layer encompasses distal macro-determinants that exert a broad structural influence on population health equities?
7In the context of Workers' Health Surveillance (Vigilância em Saúde do Trabalhador - VISAT) within the SUS framework, a physical therapist working in an occupational health outpatient clinic identifies multiple assembly line workers from the same poultry processing plant presenting with severe De Quervain's tenosynovitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. In addition to clinical treatment, what is the mandatory public health surveillance procedure?
8The Care Network for Persons with Disabilities (Rede de Cuidados à Pessoa com Deficiência - RCPD), established within the SUS Health Care Networks (Redes de Atenção à Saúde - RAS), organizes comprehensive rehabilitation services through Specialized Rehabilitation Centers (Centros Especializados em Reabilitação - CER). What structural criteria distinguish a CER IV (Centro Especializado em Reabilitação tipo IV)?
9The National Humanization Policy (Política Nacional de Humanização - HumanizaSUS) proposes transversal tools to transform healthcare work processes and management across the SUS. Which concept within HumanizaSUS emphasizes expanding the clinical gaze beyond biological disease to incorporate the subject's uniqueness, social context, and autonomy in co-producing healthcare?
10Federal Law nº 8.142/1990 institutionalized community participation and financial transfers in the SUS. Regarding the legal composition of Municipal and State Health Councils (Conselhos de Saúde), which rule of parity representation is legally mandated?

ENADE Fisioterapia Study Tips from Top Performers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose and mandatory status of ENADE Fisioterapia?
ENADE Fisioterapia is the official national examination administered by INEP/MEC to evaluate the academic quality and professional readiness of undergraduate Physiotherapy programs across Brazil. Mandated under the SINAES federal framework (Lei nº 10.861/2004), participating graduating seniors (concluintes) must complete the exam as a mandatory curricular prerequisite for undergraduate degree conferral and diploma issuance.
What is the examination structure and time limit for ENADE Fisioterapia?
The examination consists of a single 4-hour paper-based sitting containing 40 questions total: 10 General Training (Formação Geral) questions (8 multiple-choice and 2 discursive, weighted at 25%) and 30 Specific Component (Componente Específico) questions (27 multiple-choice and 3 discursive, weighted at 75%).
How is the Conceito Enade calculated and what does it mean for students?
Individual student raw scores are standardized and aggregated at the institutional program level to generate the Conceito Enade on a scale from 1 to 5 (with 3 representing the standard baseline quality and 4-5 indicating academic excellence). Individual scores do not prevent graduation, but institutional scores are publicly disclosed by MEC and directly impact course accreditation.
What is the role of the International Classification of Functioning (CIF/OMS) on the exam?
ENADE Fisioterapia places central emphasis on the biopsychosocial model codified by the WHO's CIF (Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde). Candidates are expected to distinguish between medical disease etiology and physical therapy functional diagnosis, classifying impairments in body functions and structures, activity limitations, participation restrictions, and contextual environmental/personal barriers.
How are ICU mechanical ventilation and cardiorespiratory cases tested on ENADE Fisioterapia?
Questions frequently present realistic ICU clinical scenarios requiring candidates to analyze arterial blood gas values, select invasive/non-invasive mechanical ventilation parameters (protective ventilation: tidal volume 6 mL/kg predicted body weight, driving pressure < 15 cmH2O, plateau pressure < 30 cmH2O), evaluate weaning criteria (Tobin Index / RSBI < 105), and establish early mobilization safety protocols.
Why is this practice bank presented in English with Portuguese terminology?
This comprehensive 100-question practice bank is an English-language study adaptation designed to build robust clinical reasoning, international competency, and conceptual depth while preserving exact official Brazilian regulatory and clinical Portuguese terms inline (e.g., SUS, COFFITO, CIF/OMS, DCNs, cinesioterapia, diagnóstico cinesiológico-funcional).
