An OTA Is Working with a Client in the Long-Term

An OTA is working with a client in the long-term acute care setting. The client has been cleared for out-of-bed activities, and since this is a priority the OTA is working with the client on the goal of sitting unsupported at the edge of the bed for 5 min while performing ADLs. The OTA realizes that the client is having a difficult time meeting this goal due to his changing medical status. How can the OTA best grade this treatment down?

A) Sit unsupported at edge of bed with no other demands for 5 min.
B) Perform passive range of motion exercises while lying in supine for 5 min.
C) Perform ADLs with supported sitting at edge of bed for 5 min.
D) Perform ADLs sitting unsupported for 4 min.
