A functional assessment in psychiatric rehabilitation evaluates an individual’s current abilities and barriers to inform recovery-oriented planning. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain IV: Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes) defines functional assessment as identifying current functional successes (strengths) and challenges (deficits) across domains like self-care, social skills, or employment to guide goal-setting (Task IV.A.1: "Conduct functional assessments to identify individual goals and strengths"). Option B (assessment of current functional successes and challenges) aligns with this, as it focuses on the individual’s present capabilities and limitations to develop relevant, person-centered interventions.

Option A (activities of daily living for future roles) is narrower and future-focused, not capturing the full scope of current functioning. Option C (educational successes and goals) is too specific, as functional assessment spans multiple domains. Option D (past functional successes) is retrospective and less relevant than current functioning for planning. The PRA Study Guide emphasizes assessing current strengths and challenges as the core of functional assessment, supporting Option B.
