Professional Standards in CART Services Flashcards

What is the most appropriate way for a CART provider to handle profanity spoken by a lecturer?

Answer: Caption it as spoken

Verbatim CART conveys the speaker's actual words so the consumer receives the same message as hearing participants.

Why is ongoing continuing education important for certified CART providers?

Answer: It maintains certification and keeps skills and knowledge current

NCRA certifications require continuing education to remain current, supporting professional competence.

A CART provider is asked to caption a session in a highly specialized field outside their competence. What should they do?

Answer: Honestly assess their ability and decline or arrange extra preparation or a qualified provider

Professionals accept only assignments they can perform competently or disclose limitations upfront.

In a team CART setting for a long event, what is the main reason for switching captioners at regular intervals?

Answer: To reduce fatigue and maintain accuracy

Rotating captioners prevents fatigue-related errors during extended sessions.

After a session, the CART provider edits the raw transcript before delivery. Which practice is appropriate?

Answer: Correct mistranslates and formatting while keeping content faithful to what was said

Post-session editing improves readability and accuracy without changing the substance of what was spoken.

Which situation is the clearest breach of confidentiality for a CART provider?

Answer: Discussing identifiable details of a session on social media

Sharing identifiable session content publicly violates the confidentiality expected of CART providers.

Which professional practice best supports consumer choice in how CART is displayed?

Answer: Asking about preferred display, font size, and screen placement

Consumer-centered service means adapting display options to the individual's needs.
