1. Eating only one meal per day and drinking many energy drinks
2. Refusing to take prescribed medications

4. Having his mother go grocery shopping for him

Rationale: One goal of rehabilitation is for the client to be able to do his own laundry. Having someone go grocery shopping for the client is not a goal of rehabilitation. The client should be eating nutritious meals as a goal of rehabilitation. Refusing to take prescribed medication is not indicative of the client reaching a goal of rehabilitation.
