I am preparing for the COTA exam, is this channel helpful in preparing and passing whether you are taking the COTA or the OT exam? I know the exams are different so I want to make sure. Thank you!
In my opinion, I think the reasoning why it’s not D is because: 1. Due to Poor - muscle strength of upper body strength, the patient won’t be able to perform exercises of any kind. *Notice how A & B mention exercises as well. 2. Due to ventilation, it’s not appropriate, at this time, to do respiratory exercises. 3. Due to LE paralysis and possible pain/fatigue in the diagnosis of GBS...we want to focus on gentle PROM & proper positioning to prevent contracture or discomfort.
During the acute phase of GBS, the patient may not tolerate, or may not be able to participate in active movements. Although their condition may be worsening at this point, and care may be more medical than rehabilitative, occupational therapy still plays an important role. Initially, your treatment plan will likely be more consultative in nature, with patient participation being mostly passive. That is why Answer D is not correct. The patient would be unable to actively perform exercises including respiratory exercises.

I understand how C is the answer. What would be the rationale for D?
i Have the same question. I thought it was D until she explained why C was the answer.
