NBCOT COTA · Sample question
You are a COTA in inpatient rehabilitation implementing an OT-delegated grooming task with a client after a hip fracture. Mid-session, the client becomes pale, reports new chest tightness, and needs more assistance to remain seated. The OT plan includes basic ADL retraining but no instructions for this new symptom pattern. What is the most role-appropriate next action?
D is correct. New chest tightness, pallor, and sudden assistance needs suggest possible medical intolerance; the COTA should stop, protect safety, gather objective data as allowed, and report to the OT and nursing staff. A is tempting because grading activity is often appropriate, but continuing ignores a significant status change. B may be clinically relevant, but revising goals or the plan of care requires OT judgment. C is also outside the COTA role; reassessment interpretation and discharge decisions are OT responsibilities.
ASSESS tolerance, INTERVENE for safety, REFER/report to the supervising OT and nurse, and DOCUMENT objective findings and actions taken.
