Your outpatient client, a 70-year-old person with a (R) CVA one month ago, insists he will resume driving in order to complete community-based IADLs and leisure activities. As a generalist OT, you complete a full OT evaluation. Results indicate the presence of a left homonymous hemianopsia, left-sided weakness, moderate sensory loss in his LUE, and cognitive deficits in executive function, attention, distractibility, and slowed reaction time. You meet with the client and his wife to provide evaluation results, interpretation, and collaborate on an intervention plan. The client continues to insist that he is going to resume driving immediately. What is the key ethical principle from the AOTA Code of Ethics that guides your decision-making for this client at this point in his recovery?
