Discuss a patient plan that you designed and implemented.

"Recently, I was working with a geriatric patient coming off of hip replacement surgery. Upon my review of the patients records and after my initial consultation with the patient, I realized that I would need to take a slower approach to the rehab plan due to the patients heart history. Even though most of the exercises involved in hip replacement therapy are low risk, I wanted to ensure that the patient was able to handle everything from a cardio perspective."

This question is being asked of you to see how strong your administrative skills are as a Physical Therapist. Tell the interviewer about a patient plan you worked on recently that included a general statement of interventions being used, the duration and frequency of services required to reach each goal and the anticipated discharge date.

"A patient plan that I developed just yesterday included exercises to keep a patient mobile after a recent ACL repair. Knowing that the patient was younger in age and very physically fit, I was able to plan a fairly aggressive approach to his plan and the patient was completely on-board with the plan as well in our review."
