Alice is a 52-year-old outpatient with multiple sclerosis. She tells you she misses cooking and would like to do more of it. How do you respond to Alice’s comment?
  1. You tell her that she should not be cooking because she will not feel the heat and might burn herself.
  2. You tell her that you will work on strength and coordination in therapy to return her to previous abilities, so she can cook again.
  3. You tell her that cooking will take all her strength and energy. She should let someone else do it.
  4. You tell her that you will work on adapting cooking tasks in therapy, so she can cook more at home in spite of her condition.
Explanation
Answer: D. You tell her that you will work on adapting cooking tasks in therapy, so she can cook more at home. If Alice has multiple sclerosis, she may gain some strength and endurance in therapy. But it will most likely not return to her previous levels. However, if you work with her on adapting cooking tasks, she will be able to resume cooking at home in spite of the limitations the multiple sclerosis has caused.
