I would’ve guessed A for this exact reason and C felt like a bit of a reach. I guess C is the most collaborative between B-D but I figured since it’s a degenerative condition then we should start with an adaptive approach for complete independence first and foremost
His goal was never to “not accept help”; rather that he just gets upset, which is totally reasonable. As OTs our purpose is to also enable clients to cope with their issues while working with the family to provide support.
@@TheSchmandarinOrange I was between A & C. I did not choose A however, because due to the nature of HD, it may be even more stressful to attempt to learn how to manage his finances through a new app.
@@nicoleventurinobrown3501 that’s a good point! Also, the OT’s role in this question is to monitor sx and make recommendations. I feel like recommending use of an adaptive strategy would require direct OT intervention to train the client in ensuring competence with the recommended strategy, which is out of the scope of the OT’s role in this question.
Pretty bad example, I would no advise anyone to go through this video for help. Why would we advise someone who is pissed off already to accept something he has already rejected help. The goal of OT is to be client centered, if there are techniques to adapt the activity such as using applications, then there is still a sense of autonomy. D can also have an argument but I believe A is the best answer.
Yes, and then you are on the chopping block for not being client centered. there's also HIPPA which would only enable you to bring the wife into it if he was okay with that. Otherwise his therapy goals are private and his own goals and by having his wife help him he may feel he has less autonomy which is an OT ethical principle that this would be in violation of. A beautiful thing about occupational therapy is that it is so focused on empowering the disabled individual The goal is just to have control over the finances, not successfully manage them. I guess they decide progressive diseases you're as functional as the end state A lot of these tests are not written by OTs, and purposely written with gaps and the time is coming when individuals can appeal unfair test scores. We have been confused too much and it honestly really bothers me.
Even the test prep is written to confuse you. everyone taking handouts ... Can you imagine the situation this would create if you told him he needed to accept his wife's help after you know that was a trigger... you would be creating so much more imbalance in his life and his whole family's life. Ridiculous question
I am not an OT and knew the answer right away. Even just using a lot of common sense I was able to figure this out in a second. I think OT students are trying to read a lot into the question and find all sorts of scientific explanation. The emphasis was on finding the task increasingly difficult due to the illness. Will a calculator or app help with that? No. Client still has to do the work. Will an automated bill payment change anything? No. What about leaving him alone? He just said he found it increasingly difficult to complete the task. The only possible way is to have someone who he trusts to take some of the burden off. Answer is C.
It's not as simple as you make it seem. You are talking about one question out of thousands of medical scenarios and medical diagnosis. If you are not an OT then please stick to your own profession

If he refuses help, why would we tell him to take his wifes help? Is that not client centered?

Answer C respects the client’s goals

I agree. You can help him w the finances during sessions
I would have chosen D because he clearly didn’t want his wife to help him. I’ve seen this first hand.

I can just see him screaming in my head!!!!
I wouldn't use this video to study but that is just me

This is why you arent an OT
C
Just purposely trying to confuse test takers. it's sad.
DISGUSTING you're having college kids pay $300+ for a practice OTA exam? Disgraceful.
