What is the most appropriate response for a therapist when a client successfully finds items in a refrigerator using scanning strategies?

The most appropriate response when a client successfully finds items in a refrigerator using scanning strategies is to ask the client how they know that the items are correct. This approach fosters self-reflection and helps the client articulate their thought processes and methods. By encouraging the client to verbalize their reasoning, the therapist reinforces the client's understanding and promotes cognitive skills related to scanning and identifying items.

This type of inquiry not only validates the client's success but also opens up an opportunity for the therapist to assess the strategies the client is using. Understanding what cues or methods are effective for the client can inform future interventions and help refine their scanning techniques. It ultimately creates a supportive environment for skill development and empowers the client to take an active role in their learning process.
