Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A philosophy of rehabilitation is to increase the quality of life. Impairments may not be able to be resolved, disabilities may not be able to be completely removed, and complications may not be totally eliminated. However, with rehabilitation, the individual can learn to adjust to the new lifestyle.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The type and the focus of rehabilitation are individualized to the patient, the injury, and abilities. Skills will be taught to enhance the patient's adaptation to a new lifestyle.
