An OT is working with a patient who recently had a mild CVA. Upon observation, the OT notices the patient’s right ankle appears to be inverted and may need a ankle splint. What is the best course of action the OT should take? Marked as spam

If the OT detects the patient may need an ankle splint, then the OT needs to refer the patient to his/her physician first. The physician can then write an order for the patient to see a PT who can make a splint. Patient care always needs to follow the OT process of referral, screening, evaluation, intervention, and discharge. Marked as spam
