Task-Oriented Approach
Q1.
Under the Task-Oriented Approach, the most recommended method for assessing the range of motion is to indicate if the client can reach their mouth using active elbow flexion.
Rationale: Notably, this is because the TOA approach is task oriented and therefore would be interested in the performance of tasks. More importantly, according to Rao (2016), functional tasks organize normal motion. In writing a goal, as a therapist, it is essential that the goal is task-oriented and more importantly, it should be clear and have distinct steps.
Q2.
The sink should be placed behind the therapist work area so that he or she can have easy access to the sink to wash his hands frequently between patients.
Rationale: It should not be placed in a position adjacent to the kitchenette due to the following two primary reasons. First, to reduce a lot of movements by the therapist especially when he or she wants to clean his or her hands: Secondly, putting the sink adjacent to the kitchenette may lead to food poisoning because of the many chemicals used by the therapist which can have its way to food.
Q3.
Of the highlighted objects, a therapist following a task-oriented approach will only use cones and blocks, coins, pegs and cuff weights.
Rationale: According to Rao (2016), the task-oriented approach is more concerned with movement and therefore is focused on interaction to control motor movements. Such movements would only be generated by the items mentioned above and not shampoos or canned goods.

Q4.
As an OTR, while the client is engaged in ADL treatment, you should frequently provide feedback on the performance to keep the client on task, offering “good job” and “that is right” at regular intervals.
Rationale: Such comments and feedbacks help the client to know whether he or she is doing the right thing that would facilitate his or her recovery. It also motivates the client and more importantly enhances quick recovery.
Q5.
According to Rao (2016), TOA is task oriented, therefore is more concerned with the performance of tasks that would challenge the client and help in the facilitation of quick recovery.
