1. You are working with a patient with acute back pain and researching the efficacy of various interventions. You review a study on the use of acute lumbopelvic manipulation to relieve acute low back pain. The reference article has a Level II validation. What does this imply about this treatment intervention?
++
++
++
A. The study is prospective in nature using a variety of patients and clinicians to evaluate impact on clinical practice. Clinicians can use the results in a variety of settings with confidence that it will improve patient outcomes.
++
++
B. The study is prospective in nature with a variety of patients and clinicians, and the intervention can be used with confidence in a variety of settings.
++
++
C. The study is prospective in nature and uses similar patients and clinicians. The results are best used in settings similar to those in the research.
++
++
D. The study is retrospective in nature or is a new original research project. The results should not be used exclusively until further validation can be conducted.

2. An athlete has sustained a hamstring strain. Which of the following physiological events indicates the fibroblastic repair phase of the healing process for this injury?
++
++
++
A. Immediate vasoconstriction followed by reflex vasodilation, stagnation, and stasis
++
++
B. Formation of an insoluble fibrin clot and phagocytosis
++
++
C. Synthesis of intracellular matrix and formation of granulation tissue
++
++
D. Formation of fibroblasts, decrease in type III collagen fiber, and increase in type I collagen fibers
++
++
E. Conversion of prothrombin to thrombin and production of collagen fibers
++
++
++
3. Which of the following physiological responses is most associated with the inflammatory phase of the healing process?
++
++
++
A. Histamines are released from the leukocytes causing vasodilation and decreased cell permeability.
++
++
B. Cytokines are responsible for margination of the leukocytes along the cell walls.
++
++
C. Fibroblasts synthesize an intercellular matrix.
++
++
D. Leukocytes phagocytize most of the foreign debris in the area subsequent to clot formation.
++
++
E. Granulation tissue occurs with the breakdown of the fibrin clot.
