A facility creates a private social media group for families to view activity photos and updates. Which policy must govern this group?
Answer: Only residents or their designated representatives may approve their own image being shared
Each resident or their legal representative must consent to having their identifiable image shared online, even in a private group, to comply with HIPAA and residents' rights.
When using a digital scheduling platform to manage the activity calendar, which feature most reduces the risk of double-booking shared spaces?
Answer: Real-time shared resource calendar with conflict alerts
A shared calendar with real-time conflict alerts prevents two programs from being scheduled in the same location simultaneously by notifying the scheduler immediately.
Which approach best supports a resident who expresses anxiety about using new technology for the first time?
Answer: Offer a private, one-on-one exploratory session with no performance expectations
A low-pressure, private introduction respects the resident's autonomy and comfort, reducing anxiety and increasing the likelihood of future engagement.
An activity consultant reads about a new virtual reality (VR) travel program designed for older adults. Before proposing it to administration, what is the most important initial step?
Answer: Review peer-reviewed literature and vendor evidence for safety and efficacy with the target population
Evidence review ensures the technology has documented safety (e.g., no increased fall risk or disorientation) and therapeutic benefit before facility resources are committed.
A resident's family member asks why certain activity program details are not posted on the facility's public website. What is the correct explanation?
Answer: Posting individualized resident participation details publicly would violate resident privacy rights
Individual resident information is protected health information under HIPAA and cannot be shared publicly; general program calendars may be posted, but individual details may not.
Which practice demonstrates responsible use of generative AI tools for drafting activity program descriptions?
Answer: Using AI to create a draft, then reviewing and editing for accuracy, tone, and resident appropriateness
AI tools can accelerate drafting but require human review to ensure accuracy, appropriate language, and alignment with the specific resident population's needs.
A telehealth consultation is scheduled for a resident who has hearing loss. Which preparation step is the activity consultant's responsibility before the call?
Answer: Ensure captioning or an amplified speaker is in place and confirm the resident's preferred communication method
The activity consultant who coordinates the session must arrange appropriate accommodations ahead of time so the resident can fully participate in the telehealth visit.
