OTR Exam Prep: An OTR is completing a self-care assessment with a resident in a long term care facility. Nursing staff referred the resident to OT after observing a decline in the resident’s function following an exacerbation of COPD one month ago. Medical history is also significant for residual cerebellar symptoms secondary to an excision of a brain tumor 5 years ago. The client has Fair Plus (3+/5) functional strength of bilateral upper extremities. During the assessment, the OTR asks the resident to pick up your shirt from the night stand. When reaching for the shirt, the resident has to stabilize the arm to prevent reaching beyond or short of the shirt. When documenting the session what term should the OTR use to BEST describe the resident’s action?
