Which of the following is another primary goal in the early stage of OT for Rick?
A. Achieve independence in lower extremity dressing
B. Improve physical endurance
C. Learn transfer skills
D. Explore vocational possibilities
ANS: B
Achieving independence in lower extremity dressing requires good physical endurance and is not a primary goal to accomplish in the early stages of OT for a client with spinal cord injury. Learn-ing transfer skills, while important early on, also requires a fair amount of physical endurance. Exploration of vocational possibilities typically occurs later in the OT program when a clearer picture of the client's capabilities can be determined. Therefore the best answer choice available is B.
