When an individual struggles to apply skills in a work environment, the practitioner must first assess whether the individual is adequately prepared for the goal. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain V: Strategies for Facilitating Recovery) emphasizes revisiting readiness to ensure alignment between the individual's motivation, skills, and goals (Task V.B.1: "Support individuals in developing readiness for rehabilitation goals"). Option A (revisit the readiness assessment) aligns with this, as it allows the practitioner to determine if the individual's lack of skill application stems from insufficient readiness (e.g., low confidence or motivation), which can inform tailored interventions.
Option B (meet with the employer) is premature without understanding the individual's readiness. Option C (ensure the goal is self-determined) is important but not the first step, as readiness affects goal pursuit. Option D (provide incentives) addresses behavior but not the underlying issue of skill application. The PRA Study Guide highlights readiness reassessment as a critical first step when progress stalls, supporting Option A.
