Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association CPRP Exam - Topic 6 Question 16 Discussion

Once rehabilitation readiness is confirmed, the next step is to establish a person-centered foundation for planning. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain IV: Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes) specifies that identifying the individual's expressed goals follows readiness assessment to ensure plans reflect their aspirations (Task IV.A.1: 'Conduct functional assessments to identify individual goals and strengths'). Option C (identifying the individual's expressed goals) aligns with this, as it involves eliciting the individual's priorities (e.g., employment, housing) to guide subsequent assessments and interventions.

Option A (determining domains) and Option B (routines for change) are part of functional assessment, which follows goal identification. Option D (review behavioral skills) is premature without knowing the goals. The PRA Study Guide highlights goal identification as the next step post-readiness, supporting Option C.
