Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description of the assessment balancing autonomy and protection and requiring an understanding of impairments caused by injury and degenerative processes suggests that the assessment being described is a capacity assessment, which is typically performed by clinical neuropsychologists. Legal assessments may also be performed by neuropsychologists, but the other aspects of the description do not fit with a legal assessment. Deterioration and traumatic brain injury refer to specific types of impairments, rather than an assessment process.
