ANS: D
The therapist should use the OT treatment session as a teachable moment to incorporate joint protection principles into her patient's activities. The patient should modify or decrease any exer-cise that lasts more than 1 to 2 hours after completion. Strengthening exercises that cause pain should be avoided.
