In this episode of Occupational Therapy Conversations, we discuss the importance of clinical reasoning and we look at an anticipatory approach to learning and practice. We emphasize on understanding the patient's problems and concerns from an occupational perspective, knowing the patient's medical conditions and their implications, and the importance of proactive rather than reflective learning. We also outline some key guiding questions and methods for planning and delivering effective treatment interventions, ensuring comprehensive patient care within the scope of professional boundaries.
