This question pertains to Domain II: Professional Role Competencies, which emphasizes advocacy and person-centered practice. The CPRP Exam Blueprint and PRA Code of Ethics state that “practitioners prioritize advocating for options that align with the individual’s preferences and wishes, as this respects autonomy and promotes recovery.” While stability, restrictiveness, and financial considerations are important, the individual’s wishes are the primary focus in a recovery-oriented approach.
Option D: Advocating for an option consistent with the individual’s wishes prioritizes her autonomy and self-determination, which are core to psychiatric rehabilitation. This ensures the treatment plan reflects her values and goals, fostering engagement and recovery.
Option A: Stability is important but secondary to the individual’s preferences, as imposing stability-focused options may undermine autonomy.
Option B: The least restrictive option is a principle in mental health law but is not the primary focus in a treatment team meeting, where the individual’s wishes take precedence.
Option C: Financial realism is a practical consideration but not the practitioner’s priority over respecting the individual’s preferences.
