A PT is selecting between two equally evidence-supported interventions for a patient. The patient strongly prefers one based on personal experience. Using shared decision-making, the PT should:
-
A
Integrate the patient's preference alongside evidence and clinical expertise to collaboratively choose the intervention
-
B
Override the preference and select the intervention the PT deems superior
-
C
Defer entirely to the patient without providing clinical guidance
-
D
Randomize the choice because both have equal evidence
