Discuss Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association CPRP Exam Topic 6 Question 16

After determining that the individual is ready for rehabilitation, which of the following is the next best step?

ADetermining the domains the individual needs to change

BAssessment of the routines required for change

CIdentifying the individual's expressed goals

DReview of the behavioral skills needed

Suggested Answer: C

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.

Reviewing behavioral skills seems relevant, but I wonder if we need to clarify their goals first to make it effective.

I feel like assessing routines is important, but I can't recall if it should be done before or after identifying goals.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think determining the domains for change might come after we know their goals.

I think the next step should be identifying the individual's expressed goals, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the first thing we should do.
