The 29-year-old client who was employed as a forklift operator sustains a traumatic brain injury (TBI) secondary to a motor-vehicle accident. The client is being discharged from the rehabilitation unit after three (3) months and has cognitive deficits. Which goal would be most realistic for this client?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Cognitive deficits post-TBI may limit complex tasks. Focusing for 10 minutes (B) is a realistic short-term goal to build cognitive endurance. Returning to work (A) may be unrealistic within 6 months, dressing independently (C) requires motor and cognitive skills, and bowel/bladder control (D) may be affected by physical deficits.
