A client presents with decreased orientation. What is the most effective strategy for a COTA® to implement to assist with this cognitive impairment?
Use an orientation poster in a common area with personal and daytime information listed.

Provide the client with orientation information only when requested to prevent undue anxiety.
Allow the client to establish their own routine, even if that means allowing the client to dress for the day in the middle of the night.
