Rehabilitation is care given by specialists to restore or improve self-care and function following illness or injury. Which term best matches this description?

• A. Rehabilitation
• B. Outpatient Care
• C. Skilled Care
• D. Care Plan

Answer: (A)

Rehabilitation is the process of restoring or improving a person’s ability to care for themselves and function after illness or injury, delivered through therapies provided by specialists such as physical, occupational, and speech therapists. This focus on restoring independence and daily function matches the description precisely. Outpatient care describes where services are received, not the goal of care itself; skilled care denotes the level of professional services, not the purpose; a care plan is the written guide for care, not the actual therapeutic interventions.
