A therаpist is perfоrming а chаrt review оn a patient with TBI in acute care. The therapist nоtes that the Agitated Behavior Scale was completed with scores of “4-Present to an extreme degree” for “short attention span, easy distractibility, inability to concentrate” and “impulsive, impatient, low tolerance for frustration.” The therapist’s goals for the patient are ambulation without an assistive device, improving stair negotiation, and reducing falls risk. Which strategy would be MOST appropriate for this patient?
