Answer
A
by taking the patient back to the doctor to get further counseling
B
by offering the patient a sleeping pill so he could take a nap
C
by taking the patient for a walk so he is not so stressed
D
by giving the patient a set of blocks to stack and build structures

Object manipulation is practiced through activities that involve handling and moving objects. Giving the patient blocks to stack and build structures provides a practical way to work on those skills. A walk may reduce stress, but it does not directly practice object manipulation.
