Answer to Question 1
C
A patient with a severe stroke, for example, may not be able to walk again but may recover mo-bility by learning to drive a motorized wheelchair. The purpose of rehabilitation is to enable the person to regain function but not necessarily specific abilities, which can involve the development of compensating abilities (e.g., motorized chair driving) rather than the recovery of original abilities (e.g., walking). Rehabilitation involves activities involving the entire day, not merely those within an allotted time period. On admission, the patient is in crisis and his or her actual abilities may not be evident.
