Interventions in the Patient/Client Management Model are:

• A. The treatment you will actually do with the patient; two types: procedural and educational; under constant re-examination.
• B. A set of imaging tests.
• C. Administrative paperwork only.
• D. A single therapy modality for all patients.

Answer: (A)

Interventions are the actual actions you perform with the patient to bring about change in their impairments, functional limitations, and participation. They encompass procedural tasks—hands-on care, therapeutic exercises, gait training, manual therapy, and other modalities—as well as educational components like coaching, instruction on home exercise programs, body mechanics, and self-management strategies. These actions are carried out during the intervention phase and are continuously re-examined and adjusted based on the patient’s response and progress toward goals.

Imaging tests, while important for diagnosis and planning, are not interventions themselves. Administrative paperwork is not a direct patient intervention. And using only a single therapy modality for every patient fails to account for individual needs, variation in conditions, and evolving responses to treatment.
