Q

near ultraviolet radiation has ___________than far ultraviolet radiation

A

AC=longer wavelength, lower freq, less energy

23
Q

infrared radiation has_________than near infrared radiation

A

Longer wavelengths, lower freq, less energy

24
Q

Which therapies increase the risk of cataracts

A

Short wave, Microwave, Ultraviolet

25
Q

When freezing to death, what occurs first

A

LOC–Loss of Consciousness

26
Q

Single overexposure to ultrasound can cause_________if the eyes are not protected.

A

Conjuctivitis–catacts can occur after years

27
Q

increased body temp causes

A

vasoDilation, Decreased blood pressure, Increased pulse rate

28
Q

heat applied to congested tissue causes

A

vasoDilation causes increased edema and decreased lymph flow

29
Q

An acute sunburn is best treated with infrared therapy bc it increases blood flow which increases oxygen, nutrients, and cell division. (T/F)

A

False..very very very false

30
Q

Deep heat therapy is C/I with Raynaud’s disease (T/F)

A

False. it can help treat it.

31
Q

what has a higher heat capacity, water or paraffin

A

water

32
Q

Underwater ultrasound is just as effective at deeply heating as direct contact ultrasound (T/F)

A

False. it is only 25% as effective

33
Q

what is the term used to describe the surface area of the ultrasound crystal

A

effective radiation area

34
Q

What therapy should not be used on site with allergic reaction to poison oak

A

Heat and UV

35
Q

Van Hoff Law says that increased tissue temperature will

A

increase metabolic rate

36
Q

vasoconstriction d/t cryotherapy Increases_____ and decreases_____

A

increases arteriole pressure (narrower vessel) and decreases capillary pressure

37
Q

Maximum safe temperature of skin is

A

113 F

38
Q

Adhesions can form following

A

sufficient injury, infection, and/or burn

39
Q

with vascular intermittent claudication

A

more activity=more pain

40
Q

Can deep heat cause endocrine glands to over produce? (T/F)

A

False. Negative feedback loop prevents overproduction

41
Q

with vascular intermittent claudication comes an increased

A

capillary refill time

42
Q

how does the sympathetic nervous system cause vasodilation in response to heat

A

Afferent to brain reduces temp–Efferent part of spinal reflex

43
Q

What is the 2 hour rule regarding UV exposure in order for our bodies to make vitamin D

A

no shower 2 hours prior or after. Allows oils on skin to interact with UV and make vitamin D.

44
Q

Raynaud’s does/does not decrease risk of burn from exogenous heat.

A

does not increase or decrease the risk.

45
Q

Which modality requires at least 1” thick subcutaneous fat

A

Continuous ultrasound

46
Q

Which modality can be used with a pacemaker

A

UV light

47
Q

Which modality can be used with surgical crews in place

A

Continuous ultrasound

48
Q

Decompensated heart disease c/I heat therapy and is also known as

A

Congestive heart failure

49
Q

Perspiration is a form of heat_______that allows us to stay cool.

A

conversion

50
Q

Chronic low back pain is associated with

A

erythema Ab Igne

51
Q

What is the pathological consequence of erythema Ab Igne

A

There is none, it is only cosmetic

52
Q

a grade 2 tendon injury will be_____pre injury

A

weaker than

53
Q

what is the greatest risk to short wave diathermy

A

treating an electrically grounded patient
