A patient presents to an outpatient occupational therapy clinic. The client has limited resources and has requested to limit his visits to four, during which time family training, durable medical equipment provision and training, and fall prevention techniques would have to be covered. Upon meeting these goals, a discharge summary is required. As a manager completing staffing, how would you properly utilize the functions of the OT and OTA?

D) The OT must provide ongoing supervision for all interactions between the OTA and the patient in order to complete the discharge summary; therefore, both providers should be staffed for all four of the sessions.
