Patients may resist drawing without any which two things?

• A. Resist; training; explanation
• B. Resist; explanation; training
• C. Avoid; explanation; training
• D. Enjoy; explanation; training

Answer: (B)

Engaging patients in drawing tasks rests on making the activity meaningful and doable. If there’s no clear explanation of why drawing is part of rehabilitation, patients may view it as pointless or irrelevant, which leads to resistance. At the same time, without training on how to draw, they can feel uncertain about their own abilities, fear making mistakes, or feel overwhelmed by the task. Providing both a clear explanation of the purpose and guided training in how to perform the drawing gives patients the sense that the task has value and that they can succeed. This combination builds relevance and competence, reducing resistance and promoting participation. For example, explain that drawing helps visualize personal goals and monitor progress, then walk through simple steps with feedback to build confidence.
