Which model focuses on restoring each patient's function level and is based on ADL assessments of the individual's capability to perform?

• A. Restorative Model
• B. Metamessages
• C. Autonomy
• D. Reality Orientations

Answer: (A)

This item tests the approach that aims to restore a resident’s ability to perform daily activities. The Restorative Model focuses on rebuilding function by using ADL assessments to determine what the individual can currently do, then designing targeted practice and rehabilitation to improve those skills and independence. It emphasizes progress toward returning to or improving a functional baseline, using tasks, routines, and often adaptive strategies to enhance safety and capability in daily life. Metamessages centers on the hidden or implied meaning conveyed in communication, not on restoring daily functioning. Autonomy highlights the resident’s right to make choices and control their care, which is important but doesn’t specify restoring ADL abilities. Reality Orientation is about helping individuals remain oriented to time, place, and person, addressing cognition rather than functional restoration of daily tasks.
