Hmmmm, I have to say... I hope these are hypothetical ethics questions. I guess I really am not seeing why you would refuse to cover the patient, because of the treatment the other therapist is providing. Wouldn't this be "your time to shine", a time to "prove what OT really is". The therapists goals should be related to function in some way, right. And even if not, we are OT's for Gods sake, we are all about adapting, grading, and analyzing activities. In summary... yes, I would cover for the therapist. I would look at the goals, and bring function into the mix if it had not been addressed.
