Help with Questions needed please

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

Looks as if I caused general confusion on this one - sorry guys. I think I will stick with C and hope for the best. Let's hope that this question does not pop up in the exam. Thanks again.

I really wouldn't worry about unidentifiable as it is not for you to identify, simply avoid the area.

[sm=banghead.gif] If this type of question does come up in the exam don't sweat it, it is only 1 point. If you are really worried and want to double check ITEC do's and dont's skim over the syllabus (I assume you have one) but this is the link just in case.

Good luck, I know how worrying the first exams are, but really they are not that bad.

Hiya,

Sat my exam Tuesday night and all the questions in the exam came up on this forum. 🙂 I think the exam went quite well - thank you very, very much to everybody who keeps posting exam questions on this forum. This has helped me a lot and I hope that it will also help me with my practical exam on Monday and the dreaded A&P on end of the month.

AngelFish - one of the questions was about discovering a lump on your client's thigh - I chose C as an answer - we'll see.

Thanks again guys. Back to my books now and practising massaging for Monday.

Not quite sure what type of questions the examiner will ask during the practical exam and there was also some confusion in our course on wether we will be allowed to adjust the height of the couch during the treatment or not. Our tutor said that once we start massaging in our exam, that's it - we won't be allowed to adjust the height of the couch. Sounds silly to me as they are so keen on correct postures and as I prefer the couch/client to be higher for the chest and face routine but I guess there is nothing I can do about it. [:-]
