CAPE Risk Management & Mitigation 3

Question 1

A student with Type 1 diabetes exhibits confusion, shakiness, and pale skin during adapted PE class. These signs most likely indicate:

Accepted Answer

Hypoglycemia requiring fast-acting carbohydrates

Answer

Confusion, shakiness, and pallor are classic signs of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), which requires immediate treatment with fast-acting carbohydrates.

Question 2

When modifying a gymnasium for a student who uses a power wheelchair, which environmental hazard assessment is MOST important?

Accepted Answer

Evaluating floor surface friction, turning radius clearance, and emergency exit accessibility

Answer

Floor traction, space for maneuvering, and accessible egress are the primary mobility-related safety factors for power wheelchair users in a gym environment.

Question 3

What is the primary purpose of obtaining a physician's written clearance before a student with a congenital heart condition participates in adapted PE?

Accepted Answer

To determine safe exercise intensity parameters and any contraindicated activities for that specific student

Answer

Physician clearance for students with cardiac conditions defines individualized safe exercise parameters and identifies activities that should be avoided.

Question 4

A CAPE is using the Haddon Matrix to analyze a fall injury that occurred during a gymnastics unit. The 'post-event' phase of this model focuses on:

Accepted Answer

Reducing harm after the injury has already occurred through first aid and emergency response

Answer

The post-event phase of the Haddon Matrix addresses actions taken after an injury occurs to minimize the harm, such as emergency medical response.

Question 5

A student with spina bifida and a latex allergy is enrolled in an adapted PE class. Which activity equipment poses the GREATEST risk to this student?

Accepted Answer

Resistance bands made from latex rubber

Answer

Latex resistance bands pose a direct contact allergen risk for students with latex allergies; individuals with spina bifida have an elevated prevalence of latex allergy.
