Answer to Question 1

B
Rehabilitation helps clients reach their optimal level of physical, mental, and psychosocial functioning. This goal is established by preventing complications, modifying the effects of the disability, and increasing the client's independence.

A
Accreditation is purely voluntary. Accrediting agencies have minimum standards that must be met to receive accreditation. The Joint Commission accredits hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accredits comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation programs.
