Which goal is to increase work or task tolerance?

• A. Increase work or task tolerance
• B. Reduce task engagement
• C. Limit daily tasks
• D. Terminate therapy early

Answer: (A)

Work or task tolerance is the ability to sustain engagement in an activity and tolerate the demands of work without excessive fatigue. Setting a goal to increase work or task tolerance directly targets building endurance, so the person can participate in meaningful tasks for longer periods with fewer breaks. In practice, this is supported by graded activity, pacing, energy conservation, and gradually increasing workload to improve stamina and performance over time. The other options would reduce involvement (reducing task engagement or limiting daily tasks) or stop progress altogether (terminating therapy early), which miss the aim of helping someone handle the demands of work and daily activities.
