Lyle is а 57-yeаr-оld mаn with a diagnоsis оf a right total knee replacement. Lyle has a past medical history that includes morbid obesity, coronary heart disease, and hypertension. Lyle had elective knee replacement surgery because of pain in the right knee and decreased mobility. Before the surgery, Lyle was independent with all self-care using several adaptive devices, including a reacher, a long-handled shoehorn, and a handheld showerhead. He was independent in home management and community mobility skills. He ambulated with a limp but used no device. Lyle works full-time as an account representative for a corporation that manufactures institutional kitchen equipment. Lyle’s job requires much travel, and he spends most of his time in the car and on the telephone. He reports that his job takes most of his time and that he works close to 60 hours per week, including all his travel time. With his company’s recent downsizing, he now covers an even larger geographic area, but he “dares not complain” for fear of losing his job. He says he only has a few more years until retirement and plans to keep working until then. Lyle is concerned about the amount of time he has to lose from work because of the surgery and hopes to get back as soon as he is able. He says, laughing nervously, “I don’t want to give them a chance to realize they’d be better off without me.” Which of the following are client strengths?
