Baking cookies may be difficult for the client due to the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, however, brainstorming ways to involve the children and other family members in the task can help her to still be a part of the activity. This could include having the children help choose the recipe or decorate the cookies, while other family members assist with the physical aspects of baking. This allows for family engagement while still accommodating the client's physical limitations.
