One challenging case involved a patient with severe muscle atrophy following a stroke. I assisted the physical therapist by implementing a tailored exercise regimen that gradually increased in intensity. We used adaptive equipment to ensure safety and monitored progress closely. This approach not only improved the patient's strength but also boosted their confidence, leading to better overall outcomes.

I prioritize tasks based on the urgency and complexity of each patient's needs. For instance, I ensure that patients with immediate or high-risk needs are attended to first. I also maintain clear communication with the physical therapist to coordinate care effectively. Using a structured schedule and checklist helps me manage time efficiently and provide consistent care to all patients.

I find that understanding the patient's goals and motivations is key. For reluctant patients, I start with small, achievable goals and celebrate each success. Using positive reinforcement and maintaining a supportive, encouraging environment helps build their confidence and commitment to therapy. Additionally, involving family members can provide additional motivation and support.

In such situations, I first review the treatment plan with the physical therapist to ensure it is appropriate and adjusted if necessary. I communicate openly with the patient about their progress, setting realistic expectations. Encouraging the patient by highlighting small improvements and maintaining a positive attitude helps maintain their morale and commitment to therapy.

I have extensive experience with various EHR systems, which allows me to document patient interactions and progress notes efficiently. I ensure that all documentation is accurate, timely, and compliant with healthcare regulations. Using templates and shortcuts within the EHR system helps streamline the process, allowing me to focus more on patient care.
