Scenario question: As a therapist, you've been treating a client who is elderly for a distal radius fracture for about a month. She lives alone with her cat, and proudly states that she is "independent compared to other people her age". She drives herself to therapy and appears to have complete cognitive functioning. As the therapist, you notice a new dent in her car almost every time that she's come to therapy. When asked, the she states that "other people must have hit her in the parking lot". She appeared offended that you brought it up. One session, her daughter came along, pulls you aside and tells you she's concerned about her mother driving. How do you proceed?
provide thoughtful response + rationale = get the points:D
