Read the first 7 Professional Standards and Ethics flashcards as text

  1. A professor asks the CART provider to email her a copy of a student's private office-hours session transcript. What should the provider do?

    Answer: Decline and follow the consumer's and agreed-upon policy on transcript distribution, since the session content is confidential

    Session content is confidential, and transcripts go only to parties authorized under the agreed arrangement, typically with the consumer's consent.

  2. During a lecture, the instructor misstates a historical date. How should the CART provider handle it in the realtime display?

    Answer: Write what the instructor said, as spoken

    CART providers render the speaker's message faithfully and do not correct a speaker's content errors.

  3. A deaf consumer asks the CART provider which answer is correct on an in-class quiz. What is the most appropriate response?

    Answer: Politely explain that helping with coursework is outside the CART provider's role

    Giving academic help violates role boundaries and could compromise academic integrity.

  4. Which situation is the clearest conflict of interest that a CART provider should disclose before accepting an assignment?

    Answer: The provider's spouse is a party in the legal proceeding being captioned

    A close personal relationship with a party creates an actual or apparent conflict that must be disclosed or the job declined.

  5. A CART provider realizes mid-assignment that the technical vocabulary is beyond their ability to write accurately. What is the most ethical step?

    Answer: Inform the consumer or coordinator of the limitation and work toward a solution, such as a replacement or preparation materials

    Ethical practice requires honesty about one's qualifications and accepting only work one can perform competently.

  6. Why should a CART provider generally avoid inserting personal commentary like 'boring speaker' into the realtime feed?

    Answer: It injects the provider's opinion and undermines impartiality and professionalism

    CART providers remain neutral and do not add their own opinions to the communication.

  7. Under NCRA's continuing education requirements, how many CEUs must certificate holders typically earn per three-year cycle?

    Answer: 3.0 CEUs

    NCRA members and certificate holders generally must earn 3.0 CEUs (30 hours) per three-year cycle to maintain certification.
