In the case of a dancer experiencing a severe calf spasm, what should the therapist do?

  1. Ignore the message and continue with dinner

  2. Call her friends and let them know she will be late

  3. Send a text message back saying she cannot help

  4. Ask another therapist to assist

The correct answer is: Call her friends and let them know she will be late

The most appropriate response in the scenario of a dancer experiencing a severe calf spasm involves addressing the immediate needs of the dancer. Notifying friends about a delay implies that the therapist is acknowledging the situation and prioritizing the dancer’s safety and well-being, as friends can offer help or support if needed. In this context, taking action to inform her friends not only helps to manage the logistical aspects of the dancer’s situation but also demonstrates concern for her health and safety. Continuous support is vital after experiencing such an acute physical issue, and informing friends could pave the way for them to assist or ensure that the dancer receives any necessary attention or care. Engaging another therapist for assistance would also be a valid response, but it is less immediate than securing support from her friends. Ignoring the situation or simply sending a message would not adequately address the dancer's needs during a health-related episode.
