Sample Qatar DHP Physiotherapist Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Qatar DHP Physiotherapist exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Before starting a first physiotherapy session, which identification step is safest?
A.Match two approved patient identifiers to the referral or chart
B.Use the room number because it is visible
C.Begin treatment if the patient responds to any name
D.Ask a visitor to confirm without checking the record
Explanation: Using two approved identifiers matched to the clinical record reduces wrong-patient treatment and documentation errors.
2Which action is most appropriate before and after hands-on patient contact?
A.Hand hygiene according to facility infection-control policy
B.Wearing the same gloves for every patient
C.Cleaning hands only at the end of the workday
D.Using gloves instead of hand hygiene in all situations
Explanation: Hand hygiene before and after patient contact is a core infection-prevention step in rehabilitation settings.
3A patient needs moderate assistance to transfer from bed to chair. Which safety step is most appropriate?
A.Use a gait belt or approved transfer aid and block the weak knee if needed
B.Pull the patient by the affected arm
C.Stand far away so the patient can learn independently
D.Leave wheelchair brakes unlocked for smoother movement
Explanation: A transfer aid, close guarding, knee control when needed, and locked equipment reduce fall and soft-tissue injury risk.
4A patient has right hip osteoarthritis and uses a single-point cane. In which hand should the cane usually be held?
A.Left hand
B.Right hand
C.Both hands at the same time
D.Either hand with no effect on hip load
Explanation: Holding the cane in the hand opposite the painful hip reduces the external hip adduction moment and can decrease joint load.
5For an acute lateral ankle sprain with swelling in the first day, which early plan is most appropriate?
A.Protect the ankle, manage swelling, and begin pain-limited mobility
B.Apply high-load jumping drills immediately
C.Ignore swelling and force end-range inversion
D.Use heat and vigorous massage as the first intervention
Explanation: Early care should protect healing tissue, control symptoms, and introduce appropriate mobility without overloading the injured ligament.
6A patient stands on the left leg and the right side of the pelvis drops. Which muscle group is most likely weak or poorly controlled?
A.Left hip abductors
B.Right hip abductors
C.Left elbow flexors
D.Right ankle plantarflexors only
Explanation: The stance-side hip abductors stabilize the pelvis in single-limb stance. A drop on the opposite side suggests weakness or poor control on the stance side.
7Which clinical test is commonly used to assess anterior cruciate ligament integrity?
A.Lachman test
B.Phalen test
C.Dix-Hallpike test
D.Thomas test
Explanation: The Lachman test assesses anterior tibial translation and end feel, making it a common test for ACL injury.
8During shoulder elevation, which muscle pair is important for scapular upward rotation and posterior tilt?
A.Serratus anterior and lower trapezius
B.Biceps brachii and wrist extensors
C.Rectus femoris and soleus
D.Masseter and temporalis
Explanation: Serratus anterior and lower trapezius help rotate and position the scapula during overhead motion, supporting pain-free elevation.
9Which intervention is a core physiotherapy strategy for knee osteoarthritis?
A.Education with progressive strengthening and aerobic or functional exercise
B.Complete bed rest until all pain disappears
C.Only passive heat for every session
D.Immediate maximal plyometrics for all patients
Explanation: Education, strengthening, aerobic conditioning, activity pacing, and functional training are central to knee osteoarthritis management.
10A patient with low back pain reports new saddle numbness and loss of bladder control. What should the physiotherapist do?
A.Arrange urgent medical evaluation for possible cauda equina syndrome
B.Continue routine stretching and reassess in one month
C.Use deep heat and reassure the patient
D.Start heavy lifting drills to test tolerance
Explanation: Saddle anesthesia with bladder dysfunction is a serious neurologic red flag that requires urgent medical assessment.
