Help with Questions needed please

Sonne13 · 2005-06-12T11:35:00Z

I am going to sit my Massage Theory Exam on Tuesday and came across a couple of questions which I am not too sure about. I was wondering if somebody could point me in the right direction? Q1) What would you do if you discovered a lump on your client's thight? A) Massage as normal B) Continue the massage and make a note of your observations on the record card C) Complete the massage avoiding the area mentioning it to your client in passing and advise to have it checked D) Stop the massage and advise your client to see a doctor I am not sure if C or D. C would make sense in order not to alarm the client which sounds reasonable but D would make sense just in case the lump is cancerous and continuing the massage might spread the cancer? I am very puzzled now. Q2 During the massage you discover a lump in your client's left calf. What action would you take? A Continue the massage avoiding the lump B Continue the massage avoiding the left lower leg C Continue the massage ignoring the lump D Stop the massage and advise your client to seek medical attention Same situation again - do you stop the massage in case the lump is cancerous or do you avoid the lump or even the whole left lower leg? Q3 You have a doctor's permission to give a full body massage to a client with hypertension. Would you: A Give a light massage B Give a 10 minute massage C Give a vigorous massage D Give a deep massage I think it is A but I am not too sure Q4 When massaging the front of the legs where would you place support A under knees B under ankles C offer none D under back We were never taught about supporting the legs during massage in college so I have no idea - same thing with massaging the back of the legs - where would you place support? A you would not need one B under the hips C uner the knees D under the ankles Q5 System of the body which has an indirect benefit of massage (don't know what the options are - does anybody know?) Phew, I am starting to panick now and the worst exams (Practical and A&P) are still to come. My brain seems to go all blank - there is so much to remember:( Thank you very much for your help. Good luck to everybody who is sitting exams next week!! Sonne

Looked through my mock exam on the question about finding a lump and the correct ITEC answer was D. I have just done my Sports massage paper and the same question came up.

RE: Help with Questions needed please

I am amazed because the ITEC syllabus clearly states that undiagnosed lumps and bumps are a local contraindication. Baaah! Stupid ITEC clearly they make the rules up as they go along. I'm afraid I would still put C.

This questions was taken from 2004 ITEC paper

43. What would you do if you discovered a lump on your clients thigh?
a) Massage as normal
b) Continue the massage and make a not of your observations on the record card
c) Complete the massage avoiding the area mentioning it to your client in passing and advise to have it checked
d) Stop the massage and advise your client to see a doctor

Answer: C

As I said you will have to make up your own mind on this one. I have had many Mock ITEC papers where the answers are incorrect (2 of which were in my sports massage paper)

As a p/t tutor I thought I had better triple check with ITEC their stance on this so I didn't cause any confusion. I have spoken with an examiner who says it is a LOCAL contraindication.

Would it make a difference if the question read unidentifiable lump on clients thigh?
