Read the first 7 Professional Standards and Ethics flashcards as text

  1. A CART provider overhears confidential medical information while captioning a doctor's appointment. Later, a friend asks about the consumer. What should the provider do?

    Answer: Share nothing about the assignment or the consumer

    All information learned during an assignment is confidential, with no time limit.

  2. A CART provider wants to post an anonymized screenshot of an unusual realtime screen on social media. What's the main ethical concern?

    Answer: Even anonymized assignment content can identify people or reveal confidential information

    Sharing assignment content publicly risks confidentiality breaches even when names are removed.

  3. Which best describes the CART provider's role when a speaker uses profanity?

    Answer: Write the profanity as spoken, since the consumer is entitled to the same message as hearing participants

    Faithful rendering gives deaf and hard-of-hearing consumers equal access to what was actually said.

  4. A consumer prefers that sound descriptions like [laughter] and [applause] be included. How should the provider respond?

    Answer: Include them, since sound descriptions are part of meaningful access and honor consumer preferences

    Environmental sound cues add context, and consumer preferences should guide service delivery where appropriate.

  5. Which federal law is most often cited as requiring effective communication, including CART, for people who are deaf or hard of hearing in public accommodations?

    Answer: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

    The ADA requires effective communication, and CART is listed as an auxiliary aid or service.

  6. A business meeting runs 30 minutes past the booked time, and the provider has another scheduled job. What is the most professional approach?

    Answer: Notify the client promptly of the time limit and help arrange coverage if possible

    Clear, timely communication about availability protects both consumers and professional reliability.

  7. A CART provider is offered a substantial gift by a party in a contested hearing they are captioning. What should they do?

    Answer: Decline the gift to avoid any appearance of partiality

    Accepting gifts from parties can create an appearance of bias and undermine impartiality.
