At 4.8 the patient can begin to memorize new information. At 5.0 the client can
learn new info. If the wrapping is new information to your client...he needs
assistance to complete the tasks safely and monitor the secondary
effects/anticipate hazards.
I know this posting is pretty late...I hope it helps

Subject: [OTlist] What Kind of Therapy do You do???
Today at wal-mart, the checkout person says, "What kind of therapy do
you do"? As I finished explaining OT (for the 1 billionth time in my
life), the person said that she had just graduated from massage school.
Said, that someone just graduating has never heard of OT!!!
On a more positive note... I administered my very first Allen screen
today!! I am trying to determine if my client has the capacity to learn
how to do his own lymphedema wrapping. He scored 4.2 on the assessment.
I need to look up the score in the book but it doesn't seem promising.
It was so funny because the client (a man) started out laughing about
doing the simple lacing but when it got time to do the cordovan stitch,
he was very serious and intent on learning the stitch.!!!
