Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prioritizing prevention, resuming function, restoring skills and abilities are the core responsibilities of occupational therapists in hospital settings. ADL, IADL, school, and community participation are also important but secondary to the main responsibility. Infection control, hand washing, fall prevention, client- and family-centered goals, regulatory requirements, and evidence-based practices are all important, but not as high a priority as restoring function and skills to the patient.
