Treatment Planning & Intervention Strategies Flashcards

A CTRS is grading an activity for a client recovering from a stroke who demonstrates mild left-side weakness. Grading DOWN the activity would involve:

Answer: Reducing the number of steps required to complete the activity

Grading down an activity means simplifying it, such as reducing the number of steps, to match the client's current functional capacity.

Which of the following BEST describes the role of the CTRS during the 'implementation' phase of the TR process?

Answer: Delivering planned interventions and monitoring client responses

During implementation, the CTRS carries out the planned interventions while observing and monitoring the client's responses.

A CTRS is working with an older adult with mild cognitive impairment who struggles with memory. Which leisure intervention is MOST appropriate?

Answer: Reminiscence therapy using familiar objects, music, and photographs

Reminiscence therapy leverages long-term memory and familiar stimuli, which are typically preserved longer in mild cognitive impairment.

A CTRS plans to use animal-assisted therapy (AAT) with clients in a mental health unit. The FIRST step before implementing this intervention is to:

Answer: Verify facility policies, client allergies/phobias, and animal handler certification

Verifying policies, screening clients for contraindications, and confirming animal handler credentials are essential prerequisite steps for safe AAT implementation.

When applying the APIE process in TR, which step involves identifying the client's functional abilities, limitations, interests, and needs?

Answer: Assessment

Assessment is the systematic process of gathering information about a client's functional status, interests, needs, and limitations.

A CTRS wants to improve a client's perceived competence in leisure through an adventure therapy program. According to Bandura's theory, the MOST powerful source of self-efficacy is:

Answer: Mastery experiences through successful task completion

Bandura identified mastery experiences (actual successful performance) as the most powerful source of self-efficacy beliefs.

A CTRS is treating an adolescent with conduct disorder in an inpatient setting. Which TR approach is MOST consistent with a strengths-based model?

Answer: Building on the client's existing interests and skills to develop prosocial alternatives

A strengths-based approach leverages existing interests and competencies to build prosocial skills and positive identity.
