A 54-year-old woman is fitted with a wrist splint for night wear because of carpal tunnel syn-drome.
 
  At a return visit the client reports that she has less numbness and tingling at her volar thumb and index and middle digits, but she has increased pain at the radial dorsal side of her hand. The OT practitioner should consider which of the following possibilities?
  A. The client has been using her hand too much.
  B. The client has not been wearing her splint.
  C. The new splint is not helping her carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms.
  D. The new splint is pressing on the radial digital nerve near the anatomical snuffbox.
