Scenario: An OTR® working in an outpatient clinic receives an order to evaluate and treat a 32-year-old woman who has been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. When the patient arrives for her initial evaluation, the OTR® discovers that the patient has also been diagnosed with an Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Based on information gathered from interviewing the patient, the following has been ascertained: The patient is not married, and she lives with her sister and her sister’s family. She works at a local sheltered workshop that is run by a private, non-profit agency. She spends her leisure time playing video games and hand painting Christmas cards which she sells around Christmas time.
Section A: During the initial interview, the patient informs the OTR® that her hands become very painful when she is performing her job which consists of dipping metal blades into a liquid coating and then hanging these blades on a drying rack. Despite the patient’s sister “having had words” with the patient’s supervisor about her job placement at the workshop, the supervisor has refused to move the patient to another job. How should the OTR® proceed based on this information? Select the best 3 choices.
Rationale:
A. Gather more detailed information about the patient’s leisure activities, including how much time she spends playing her video games.
C. Include cognitive and mental health assessments as a part of the initial evaluation to determine if the patient’s ASD is having an impact on the cause of her carpal tunnel symptoms
E. Ask the patient and her sister for permission to contact the patient’s supervisor at the sheltered workshop to gather more information about the patient’s job.
Gathering more details about the patient’s cognitive and mental health status, video game habits, and job requirements all meet the criteria for following the Code of Ethics principle of Beneficence. This principle states that Occupational therapy personnel shall demonstrate a concern for the well-being and safety of the recipients of their services. Beneficence includes all forms of action intended to benefit other persons, and requires taking action by helping others, in other words, by promoting good, by preventing harm, and by removing harm. This includes: providing appropriate evaluation and a plan of intervention for recipients of occupational therapy services specific to their needs.
B. Asking the supervisor why the patient has not been assigned to another job violates the Code of Ethics principle of Veracity, as the OTR® is basing this question on subjective information that she received from the patient’s sister. Veracity is based on the virtues of truthfulness, candor, and honesty. The Principle of Veracity refers to comprehensive, accurate, and objective transmission of information. This includes refraining from using or participating in the use of any form of communication that contains false, fraudulent, deceptive, misleading, or unfair statements or claims.
D. Pressing the patient to stop playing video games even if she becomes distressed violates the Code of Ethics principle of Nonmaleficence, as the patient may need to play video games for stress relief. Nonmaleficence obligates OT personnel to abstain from causing harm to others.
F. Delaying contacting the patient’s supervisor violates the Code of Ethics principle of Beneficence by delaying an action that constitutes competent occupational therapy practice. However, asking the patient and her sister if it is alright to contact the supervisor follows the Code of Ethics principle of Autonomy by respecting the patient’s right to privacy regarding the disclosure of her supervisor’s actions related to her job placement at the workshop.

Scenario: An OTR® working in an outpatient clinic receives an order to evaluate and treat a 32-year-old woman who has been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. When the patient arrives for her initial evaluation, the OTR® discovers that the patient has also been diagnosed with an Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Based on information gathered from interviewing the patient, the following has been ascertained: The patient is not married, and she lives with her sister and her sister’s family. She works at a local sheltered workshop that is run by a private, non-profit agency. She spends her leisure time playing video games and hand painting Christmas cards which she sells around Christmas time.
Section B: When the OTR® speaks to the patient’s supervisor about her job, the supervisor tells her that he believes the patient’s carpal tunnel syndrome is the direct result of her obsessive playing of video games when she is at home. He does not believe that the patient’s job has caused her condition and he feels that the patient is trying to get out of work. How should the OTR® respond to this information? Select the best 3 choices.
A. Ask the supervisor if she can schedule a work site evaluation to assess the patient’s job tasks and how the patient performs her job.
D. Discuss the effects of video game playing with the patient and her sister in a non-threatening way.
E. Inform the supervisor that there are many ways that repetitive motion injuries can develop and a full assessment of the patient’s daily living tasks, including her job, will help to develop a plan to alleviate her symptoms.
Performing a work site evaluation and discussing the effects of video game playing with the patient and her sister follow the Code of Ethics principle of Beneficence, by following appropriate occupational therapy evaluation and treatment procedures.
Conducting the work site evaluation over the phone rather than in person would violate this code, as the OTR® will not know if the supervisor is reporting the specifics of the patient’s job accurately or considering factors about the job that may be contributing to the patient’s symptoms. The supervisor may require justification for the work site evaluation, so informing him that the evaluation is necessary to develop an appropriate treatment plan follows the Code of Ethics principle of Fidelity by interacting with the supervisor with the same respect due to another professional. Questioning the supervisor about his knowledge of repetitive motion injuries implies that the supervisor is negligent in his duties toward the patient, violating the Code of Ethics principles of Veracity and Fidelity. Threatening to report the supervisor also violates these two principles.

She works at a local sheltered workshop that is run by a private, non-profit agency. She spends her leisure time playing video games and hand painting Christmas cards which she sells around Christmas time.
Section C: The OTR® completes the work site evaluation at the sheltered workshop. During the evaluation, she observes that the patient’s job consists of the following steps: Tightly pinching and maintaining a grasp on a small wire hook which is attached to a metal blade in order to pick a blade up from the table. Then, dipping the blade into a liquid coating for approximately 20 seconds. Finally, lifting the blade up to hang it on a drying rack. Each metal blade weighs about 3 pounds and this process is repeated until the patient has completed her quota for the day. The patient’s supervisor reports that the patient participates in the job for the full 6-hour work day. When asked why the patient has not been switched to another job, the supervisor states that there are only 4 people physical capable of completing the job, and the patient is one of them. He also appears surprised when the OTR® mentions that the physical actions of the job puts stress on the carpal tunnel area. What conclusions can the OTR® make based on the work site evaluation? Select the best 3 choices.
A. The supervisor may think that the patient’s symptoms are only caused by her activities outside of work
B. The supervisor is not familiar with the causes and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome
E. The patient’s ASD has caused her to experience more difficulty dealing with her carpal tunnel symptoms on the job because she does not know how to communicate with the supervisor.
Concluding that the supervisor is not familiar with the causes of carpal tunnel syndrome and that the patient has had difficulty communicating her symptoms to the supervisor due to her ASD are fair conclusions based on the work-site evaluation and follow the Code of Ethics principle of Justice. The fact that the supervisor seems surprised that the physical actions of the job put stress on the carpal tunnel area could also lead the OTR® to conclude that the supervisor may think the patient’s symptoms are caused only by her activities outside of work, but the OTR® should not hold a biased attitude against the supervisor because of this conclusion. Instead, the OTR® should clarify with the supervisor what he thinks the causes of the patient’s symptoms are and educate him on how the patient’s job could contribute to her symptoms. Making assumptions about the supervisor’s personal feelings toward the patient and his attitude toward the patient’s symptoms or concern over her wellbeing violates the Code of Ethics principle of Fidelity, as the supervisor should be treated with respect and fairness during the evaluation process. Concluding that the patient has been faking her symptoms also violates the Code of Ethics principle of Fidelity as well as the principle of Justice, since the assumption does not allow for fair and objective treatment of the patient at her workplace.

When the patient arrives for her initial evaluation, the OTR® discovers that the patient has also been diagnosed with an Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Based on information gathered from interviewing the patient, the following has been ascertained: The patient is not married, and she lives with her sister and her sister’s family. She works at a local sheltered workshop that is run by a private, non-profit agency. She spends her leisure time playing video games and hand painting Christmas cards which she sells around Christmas time.
Section D: After 6 weeks of occupational therapy intervention, the patient’s carpal tunnel symptoms have improved, but she is still having problems at work. Despite the OTR® providing written recommendations to the patient’s supervisor and education in the causes and symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, he has refused to provide any adaptations to the patient’s job or place her on another job. The only accommodation he has allowed is rest breaks every hour to allow the patient to ice her wrists. The patient and her sister are both very upset with the supervisor and the sheltered workshop. The supervisor will not return the OTR®’s phone calls. How should the OTR® proceed? Select the best 3 choices.
A. Write a letter to the supervisor expressing concern over the lack of follow through with the recommendations for adapting the patient’s job. The letter should explain how the patient’s rights are violated at work by not providing adaptations.
C. Give the patient and her sister information on what further action they can take if the supervisor does not respond to the letter from the OTR® or make changes to the patient’s job.
E. Discuss with the patient and her sister how she feels about her job and if she should consider taking a leave of absence to recover from her symptoms. Allow the patient and her sister to come to their own decision regarding the leave of absence.
Writing the letter to the supervisor expressing concern over the lack of follow through follows the Code of Ethics principles of Justice and Fidelity by allowing the supervisor to directly respond to the OTR®’s concerns before any further action is taken. Bypassing the supervisor and reporting the situation to the management of the sheltered workshop or the county would violate these principles. However, providing the woman and her sister with information on how to proceed if the supervisor does not respond to the letter or make changes to the woman’s job follows the principle of Justice by empowering the woman and her sister with the ability to follow up regarding the woman’s rights at the sheltered workshop. Since the woman is not capable of advocating for herself, telling the woman’s sister to file a complaint with the management of the sheltered workshop without the participation of the woman herself violates the Code of Ethics principle of Justice. Discussing a possible leave of absence from the job, however, follows the Code of Ethics principle of Autonomy, as it allows the woman to take part in making her own decision regarding whether she should continue working.

Clinical Simulation, setting 2: Scenario: An OTR® and COTA® work together in a small rural school district which is in an impoverished area with a high unemployment rate. About half of the students who attend the school are members of a local Native American tribe. This school consists of one continuous building, with an elementary school positioned at one end and a middle/high school at the other end. Due to limited space, the therapy room is in a sectioned off portion of a larger room that is part of the kindergarten program. As the dividers for the therapy space do not reach the ceiling, they do not block sound.
Section A:In total, the OTR® and the COTA® work in 3 different school districts. To comply with supervision regulations, they meet once per month to discuss all the students on their caseloads. They usually meet at this school because it is the most convenient and fits in with both their schedules. During their monthly meeting, the OTR® and the COTA® typically discuss all the students, including the students from the other 2 schools. During a meeting, the kindergarten class unexpectedly enters the partitioned room from the opposite side as their play time has been cut short. In this situation, what should the OTR® and COTA® do? Select the best 3 choices.
Moving to another room, rescheduling the meeting and using Skype as long as both the OTR® and COTA® are in private areas when the meeting takes place, all take measures of keeping patient confidentiality which adheres to the principle of Autonomy.
Autonomy- Principle 3 states that occupational therapy personnel shall respect the right of the individual to self-determination, privacy, confidentiality, and consent. Maintaining the confidentiality of all verbal, written, electronic, augmentative, and nonverbal communications, in compliance with applicable laws, including all aspects of privacy laws is incorporated into this principle.
Discussing students in front of other students and teachers violates the Code of Ethics principle of Autonomy, even if others who are present may not understand the conversation and students are not named. Confidential information that may be overheard could still be identified even if names of students are not being used. Asking the teacher to remove the children from the area violates the Code of Ethics principle of Fidelity by not showing the teacher the respect they deserve. Fidelity- Principle 6 states that occupational therapy personnel shall treat clients, colleagues, and other professionals with respect, fairness, discretion, and integrity.

Due to limited space, the therapy room is in a sectioned off portion of a larger room that is part of the kindergarten program. As the dividers for the therapy space do not reach the ceiling, they do not block sound.
Section B: The occupational therapy caseload at the school has been high due to a large number of referrals from the county birth to three agency. The special education director approaches the OTR® about the high caseload numbers and asks if any of the students can be dismissed, as the school budget will not support the level of occupational therapy services currently being provided. How should the OTR® respond? Select the best 3 choices.
The response to this request must be carefully considered to observe the Code of Ethics principles of Beneficence, Nonmaleficence, Justice and Fidelity, as the OTR® must respond to the special education director in a professional manner that is beneficial to the school while at the same time looking out for the best interests of the students. Giving estimated dates of dismissal for those students who are ready to be dismissed or requesting that their IEP annual reviews be moved up follows these principles. Telling the special education director that the OTR® will decide when students are dismissed violates the Code of Ethics principles of Autonomy and Fidelity, as it is the IEP team that makes the final decision regarding dismissal from occupational therapy services, not the OTR® alone. Putting the special education director off violates the Code of Ethics principle of Fidelity. Discussing the possible decrease in hours with the COTA® follows the Code of Ethics principle of Veracity as the OTR® and COTA®’s are collaborating in preparation for a decrease in hours at the school.

Due to limited space, the therapy room is in a sectioned off portion of a larger room that is part of the kindergarten program. As the dividers for the therapy space do not reach the ceiling, they do not block sound.
Section C: One of the students receiving occupational therapy services at the school is a 10-year-old girl who has been diagnosed with an Intellectual Disability. While the COTA® is conducting a session with the girl, the girl tells the COTA® that her uncle touched her private parts. The girl has a history of making comments that are not always true. How should the COTA® respond? Select the best 3 choices.
Reporting suspected abuse is mandatory for all school personnel, but it must be handled discreetly through proper channels. Since the COTA® reports directly to the OTR®, the COTA® should report the comment directly to the OTR® or follow any pre-arranged instructions given in the case of such an event. These two actions follow the Code of Ethics principles of Nonmaleficence and Fidelity. Waiting for the OTR® to handle the situation violates the principle of Nonmaleficence because the COTA® is not doing all they can to prevent further harm to the student. Ignoring the girl’s comment violates the principle of Nonmaleficence as the comment must be taken seriously. Taking the girl’s comment seriously supports the principle of Nonmaleficence. OT practitioners are not trained to ask questions in order to clarify the situation. Bypassing the OTR® or the student’s case manager violates the principle of Fidelity.

Section D: The OTR® and the COTA® are each conducting sessions with students at the same time in the therapy space. The COTA® begins telling the OTR® that they heard one of the kindergarten teachers is getting a divorce. How should the OTR® respond? Select the best 3 choices.
1) Yes: This action observes the Code of Ethics principle of Fidelity because it protects the kindergarten teacher’s privacy while at the same time respecting the professional relationship between the OTR® and the COTA®. Fidelity- Principle 6 states that occupational therapy personnel shall treat clients, colleagues, and other professionals with respect, fairness, discretion, and integrity.
2) No: This action violates the Code of Ethics principle of Fidelity. The Related Standard of Conduct states that occupational therapy personnel shall preserve, respect, and safeguard private information about employees, colleagues, and students unless otherwise mandated or permitted by relevant laws.
3) No: The comment cannot be ignored because the COTA® has violated an ethical principle.
4) Yes: This action demonstrates the core value of Altruism which involves demonstrating concern for the welfare of others.
5) No: This action violates the Code of Ethics principle of Fidelity. While the OTR® is correct, the COTA® will probably feel chastised by this remark.
6) Yes: The COTA® may have forgotten about the need to respect the privacy of other employees and requires a review of procedures to insure the situation does not happen again.
