A. Assault is the threat of bodily harm. While using restraints might cause fear, it doesn't involve a threat of immediate harm.

D. Defamation involves damaging someone's reputation. This is not relevant to the situation.

A. It is typically part of a neurological or mental status examination rather than a functional assessment. Functional assessments are more concerned with how well a client can manage daily tasks and their overall ability to live independently.
B. The primary purpose of a functional assessment is to determine the client’s ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). ADLs include tasks such as bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, toileting, and mobility. This assessment helps to identify areas where the client may need assistance and guides the development of a care plan to support their independence and quality of life.
C. While assessing cognitive functions such as reasoning, judgment, and thought processes can be part of a comprehensive evaluation, it is not the primary goal of a functional assessment. These cognitive aspects are more relevant in mental status examinations or neuropsychological assessments.
D. Assessing memory is important for understanding cognitive function, but it is not the main focus of a functional assessment. Functional assessments are centered around evaluating practical abilities related to daily living rather than specific cognitive functions like memory.
