Suggested Answer: D

The individual's car accident and subsequent challenges require revisiting her goals to address her current circumstances and emotional state. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain IV: Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes) emphasizes re-evaluating goals in response to significant life changes to ensure person-centered planning remains relevant (Task IV.B.1: 'Develop person-centered plans based on individual aspirations'). Option D (help the individual determine her goals with regard to returning to massage therapy training) aligns with this, as it prioritizes exploring whether she still wishes to pursue massage therapy or adjust her goals (e.g., alternative careers or delayed training) given her injuries, transportation issues, and feelings of being overwhelmed.

Option A (provide education on alternative programs) assumes a change in direction without confirming her goals. Option B (develop contacts) is premature without clarity on her aspirations. Option C (assess potential to return) is a secondary step, as her goals must guide the assessment. The PRA Study Guide underscores goal re-evaluation as the first step after disruptions, supporting Option D.
