What is Product 2 of the PT-CPMS?

• A. Evaluation
• B. Assessment
• C. Intervention
• D. Prognosis

Answer: (C)

Intervention is the hands-on work that translates findings into action to improve the patient’s function. After the initial exam identifies problems and a prognosis helps predict outcome, the therapist selects and carries out treatment actions designed to address those impairments. These actions include therapeutic exercises, manual techniques, functional training, modalities, and patient education, all aimed at reducing symptoms and increasing activity tolerance and independence. This focus on applying specific, targeted treatment is what makes Intervention the appropriate choice for Product 2. Evaluation is about gathering information to understand the patient’s status, prognosis involves forecasting likely outcomes and timelines, and Assessment (in some contexts) refers to interpreting data or progress rather than delivering the treatment itself. The actual treatment actions—the implemented plan of care—fit Intervention best.
