I conducted my OT obsevation hours at Tampa Rehabilitation center. During my OT hours I had the privilage of meeting Mrs. Peters. Mrs. Peters was an 55 year old caucation female, who was admitted to the rehabilitation for weakness and mobility training due to the fact that she was obsese and would prefer to lay in bed and have her husband complete everything else including doing her ADL's. We all know the saying "if you don't use it you lose it". Doctors was afraid if something didn't change soon she wouldn't make past her 58th birthday. She need to learn how to walk and take care of herself again.
The First few days in rehab Mrs. Peters refused to do anything. However, on the fourth day the OT took action and explained to Mrs. Peters
