So I'm looking through my TPR book and I'm really confused on this part.

What is even a Bohr Atom?

An atom with just one electron. Ie Hydrogen, ionized helium (He+), doubly ionized lithium (Li2+).

It's been a while since Gchem so maybe someone else can chime in as well.

I don't have the text, but Bohr Atoms are just referred to those that Bohr was able to show to exhibit the orbital-pathing electrons around a positive nucleus. These were just the one-electron elements such as hydrogen

By the way, the modern view is electron clouds not orbits.
