Which item is the final item listed in the second step?

• A. educate and encourage self efficacy
• B. Rebuild
• C. Restore function
• D. Strength and conditioning

Answer: (A)

This question tests how a rehabilitation plan sequences goals within the second step, moving from restoring physical capacity to empowering the patient for long-term management. After you’ve worked on rebuilding, restoring function, and building strength and conditioning, the last element shifts focus to the patient’s mindset and skills for independent care. Educating and encouraging self-efficacy helps the person believe they can manage their program, adhere to exercises, modify activities safely, and push toward recovery on their own. That confidence and knowledge are what enable sustained progress beyond the clinic.

The other items are more about the mechanical work of recovery—rebuilding capacity, restoring daily abilities, and increasing conditioning. They represent foundational, early tasks in the step, whereas fostering self-efficacy is the final, empowering piece that supports long-term success.
