Practice Question
A nurse is attending an interprofessional team conference for a client who experienced a stroke. For which of the following findings should the team request a prescription for a referral to the occupational therapist?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
The client enjoys helping to prepare meals.
Rationale:
🧩Occupational therapy (OT) focuses on restoring ADLs/IADLs, including meal preparation, grooming, and home management after a stroke.
🧩Meal prep tasks require fine-motor coordination, bilateral integration, safety awareness, and problem-solving—all core OT domains.
🧩OT evaluates cognitive–perceptual deficits (e.g., sequencing, attention, neglect) that directly affect kitchen safety and task completion.
🧩The therapist recommends adaptive equipment (e.g., rocker knives, non-slip mats, one-handed techniques) and environmental modifications for safe cooking.
🧩OT develops a graded retraining plan so the client can return to meaningful roles (helping cook) while minimizing risk and fatigue.
