Massage Therapist Practice Exam

Category - Application<br />

After finishing your massage session, your client asks to be helped into a seated position because they feel dizzy and disoriented. What would be the best course of action for this scenario?

  1. Help the client sit up and stay with them in order to re-evaluate the situation in a few minutes
  2. Call the client’s doctor or emergency contact if their condition worsens
  3. Provide the client with some water or juice to drink
  4. All of the above
Explanation

Answer: D - It is never a good idea to leave a client unattended if they are feeling unwell, and it is best to stay to monitor if their condition is improving or worsening. A client may be experiencing dehydration or slight nausea due to a release of toxins in their system, so small amounts of water or juice may help them. Many times, clients just need a moment to regain their proprioception (knowing where their body is in time and space). If the condition worsens, it is best to keep the client seated or lie them down while you make an effort to reach the client’s emergency contact or doctor.
