A 'strengths-based approach' to activity programming means:
Answer: Building programs around what residents CAN do rather than their deficits
A strengths-based approach identifies and leverages residents' remaining abilities, interests, and life experiences to design meaningful and achievable programming.
Which practice violates resident rights in an activity setting?
Answer: Forcing a resident to join an activity they have refused
Forcing a resident to participate in any activity violates their fundamental right to autonomy and self-determination, protected under federal regulations.
The purpose of a 'quarterly review' of an activity care plan is to:
Answer: Reassess whether goals and approaches remain appropriate to the resident's current status
Quarterly reviews ensure the care plan reflects the resident's current functional status, preferences, and goals, which can change significantly over time.
Which volunteer management practice is most important for sustaining a high-quality activity program?
Answer: Providing orientation, training, supervision, and recognition for volunteers
Effective volunteer management requires structured onboarding, ongoing training, clear supervision, and meaningful recognition to maintain engagement and program quality.
An activity professional is developing a pet therapy program. The MOST important initial step is:
Answer: Establishing infection control protocols and obtaining administrative approval
Infection control protocols and administrative approval are prerequisites for any pet therapy program to protect resident health and ensure facility compliance.
Which activity is an example of 'passive programming'?
Answer: Watching a movie or enjoying a musical performance as an audience member
Passive programming involves observation and enjoyment without active participation, which is appropriate for residents with very low energy or who prefer spectator roles.
When an activity consultant identifies that a resident's cultural background is not reflected in any current programming, the appropriate response is to:
Answer: Develop or source culturally relevant activities and integrate them into the program
Culturally competent programming requires actively integrating residents' cultural backgrounds, traditions, and values into activity offerings to support identity and well-being.
