ACC Risk Assessment & Management 4

Question 1

A newly hired activity aide is not CPR-certified. According to best practice risk management, the activity consultant should:

Accepted Answer

Ensure the aide is enrolled in CPR certification before working with participants unsupervised

Answer

CPR certification is a standard safety requirement for direct care staff; activity consultants must ensure all staff complete required credentials before unsupervised participant contact.

Question 2

Which scenario represents a 'near-miss' event in activity risk management?

Accepted Answer

A participant slips on a wet floor but catches themselves on a railing without injury

Answer

A near-miss is an unplanned event that did not result in injury but had the potential to do so—like slipping but not falling—and should be documented and analyzed to prevent future incidents.

Question 3

When assessing risk for a cooking activity with cognitively impaired participants, which hazard requires the HIGHEST level of control?

Accepted Answer

Sharp utensils and open flames

Answer

Sharp utensils and open flames represent the most immediate life-threatening hazards in a cooking activity with cognitively impaired individuals who may not recognize danger.

Question 4

Informed consent for a higher-risk activity program is BEST obtained by:

Accepted Answer

Providing written information, allowing questions, and obtaining a signed consent document

Answer

Valid informed consent requires written disclosure of risks, an opportunity to ask questions, and a voluntary signature—not passive notification methods.

Question 5

What is the PRIMARY purpose of conducting a pre-activity environmental safety inspection?

Accepted Answer

To identify and correct hazards before participants are exposed to them

Answer

Pre-activity environmental inspections proactively identify physical hazards—such as wet floors, loose equipment, or inadequate lighting—before participants enter the space.
