Adam Is a 60-Year-Old Who Has Been Referred to Occupational

Adam is a 60-year-old who has been referred to occupational therapy because of increased anxiety and decreased ability to engage in valued occupations. During your initial interview he states he has been experiencing a lot of stress during the past year: He retired 6 months ago and his wife passed away a month ago. His children recently moved out of the area and he states he is feeling lost given all the changes he has experienced during the past year. You want to administer an assessment that measures the impact stress has had on him during the past year. Adam appears to have intact cognitive functioning and you decide to use a self-inventory. Based on this information, which assessment would you choose?

A) Life events checklist
B) Coping responses inventory
C) Coping strategies inventory
D) Recent life changes questionnaire
