In the OT evaluation process, which of the following is included?

• A. Occupational Therapy Profile
• B. Surgical consultation
• C. Medication reconciliation
• D. Imaging studies

Answer: (A)

The evaluation process in occupational therapy begins with gathering the client’s story and daily life roles, captured in the Occupational Profile. This profile collects who the person is, what they want and need to do, their routines, contexts, and goals. It centers the client’s priorities and informs which activities are most meaningful, guiding what to assess and target in intervention. Surgical consultation, medication reconciliation, and imaging studies are medical or diagnostic steps outside the OT evaluation itself. They may influence overall care, but they are not the components that comprise the OT evaluation.
