Domain 02: Analysis, Interpretation, and PlanningDifficulty 3/5
After three weeks of intervention the data show no progress toward a goal, and treatment integrity is high. What should the OTR do?
- ADischarge the client, because the lack of progress indicates no potential
- BIncrease session frequency while keeping the same intervention approach
- CContinue the plan unchanged, because occupational change takes time
- DModify the plan, changing the approach or the goal based on the data
Show answer and rationale
Correct: D. When the plan is being delivered as written and the data show no change, the plan itself is what needs to change — the approach, the grading or the goal.
- C — Continuing an approach the data contradicts wastes the episode.
- A — Lack of progress with one approach does not establish absence of potential.
- B — More of an ineffective intervention is still ineffective.
