Sample DE Ergothérapeute Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the DE Ergothérapeute exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 10+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1An occupational therapist begins an evaluation with a person who wants to resume cooking. What should guide the initial assessment?
A.The person's meaningful goal, abilities, activity demands, and home environment
B.A standard exercise list unrelated to cooking
C.The therapist's preferred kitchen layout
D.The diagnosis alone
Explanation: Ergotherapy analyzes the interaction among person, occupation, and environment. A meaningful goal anchors assessment of capacities, barriers, supports, and activity demands.
2Why should information from a standardized assessment be combined with observation of a real activity?
A.Because standardized tools have no value
B.Because the two sources can reveal both measured capacity and performance in context
C.Because observation automatically establishes causation
D.Because the person's own report should be excluded
Explanation: Different assessment methods answer different questions and can be triangulated. Contextual observation and the person's report help interpret standardized scores for occupational planning.
3A person performs a transfer safely in the clinic but not in a narrow home bathroom. What is the best interpretation?
A.The clinic result proves the home report is inaccurate
B.The transfer skill has disappeared
C.Environmental constraints are affecting occupational performance
D.The diagnosis must have changed during travel
Explanation: Performance emerges from the interaction between the person, task, and environment. A clinic observation may not generalize to a differently configured home setting.
4What is the main purpose of grading an activity during rehabilitation?
A.To keep the task identical regardless of progress
B.To compare the person publicly with others
C.To avoid meaningful occupations
D.To adjust task demands so the activity remains safe, achievable, and challenging
Explanation: Grading changes the task or environment in controlled steps to match current abilities and therapeutic aims. It supports engagement and progression without unnecessary failure or risk.
5A proposed bathroom aid is technically suitable, but the person says it is unacceptable in their home. What should the therapist do next?
A.Install it without consent because the technical assessment is sufficient
B.Explore the concern and co-design an acceptable alternative that still addresses the assessed risk
C.Close the case because the first aid was declined
D.Ask the supplier to persuade the person
Explanation: An effective environmental adaptation must be acceptable and usable as well as technically sound. Shared decision-making can identify a different way to meet the safety and participation goal.
6When fabricating a hand orthosis, which check is essential before the person leaves?
A.Whether the material matches the clinic logo
B.Whether the orthosis is the same size as another patient's
C.Fit, pressure areas, function, donning, wear instructions, and warning signs
D.Whether the person can tolerate it for a full day immediately
Explanation: Orthosis provision includes safe fit, functional testing, education, and a monitored wear plan. The person must know how to use it and when to stop and seek review.
7Which record best demonstrates clinical reasoning after an intervention?
A.Session completed
B.Patient did well
C.Same plan next time
D.Goal, activity attempted, assistance and adaptations, observed response, interpretation, and next plan
Explanation: A useful record links the agreed goal to intervention, evidence, interpretation, and future decisions. This supports continuity, evaluation, and professional accountability.
8A team proposes discharge home, but the therapist identifies an untested transfer risk. What is the best contribution?
A.Communicate the functional evidence, explain the risk, and propose a timely assessment or mitigation plan
B.Withhold the concern to preserve team agreement
C.Cancel discharge without discussing alternatives
D.Document the concern only after discharge
Explanation: Interprofessional practice requires clear communication of occupation-based evidence and constructive planning. The therapist contributes expertise while decisions remain coordinated with the person and team.
9Why is informed consent revisited during a changing intervention plan?
A.Because initial consent is never valid
B.Because new goals, methods, benefits, or risks may require updated understanding and agreement
C.Because the therapist may avoid documenting changes
D.Because consent transfers all clinical responsibility to the person
Explanation: Consent is an ongoing process tied to what is proposed and understood. Material changes should be explained so the person can continue, modify, or decline participation.
10When appraising a study of an occupational intervention, which question most directly addresses applicability?
A.Was the article title memorable?
B.Did the authors use the therapist's preferred terminology?
C.Are the participants, setting, intervention, and outcomes sufficiently similar to the clinical question?
D.Was the paper published in the same country as the patient?
Explanation: Applicability concerns whether the evidence fits the person, context, intervention, comparator, and outcomes at issue. Country may matter, but it is only one contextual factor and not a sufficient test.
