  1. A fall detection pendant is recommended for an older adult living alone. Which feature is MOST important for ensuring safety in a bathroom environment?

    Answer: Water resistance rated for shower use

    Bathrooms are high-risk fall zones, so a pendant must be waterproof or water-resistant to function reliably during bathing activities.

  2. Which ramp slope ratio is the maximum allowable under ADA Standards for a new construction ramp run?

    Answer: 1:12

    ADA Standards specify a maximum slope of 1:12 (1 inch of rise per 12 inches of run) for new construction ramps.

  3. A client with cognitive impairment frequently leaves the stove on unattended. Which assistive technology BEST addresses this safety risk?

    Answer: Adding a stove auto shut-off device with timer

    An automatic stove shut-off device turns off the burners after a set period of inactivity, directly mitigating the risk of leaving the stove on unattended.

  4. Under ADA Standards, what is the maximum height for operable parts of assistive devices when a side approach is used by a wheelchair user?

    Answer: 48 inches

    ADA Standards allow a maximum reach height of 48 inches above finished floor for a side approach to operable parts.

  5. A CEAC is recommending assistive technology for a client with ALS who is losing hand function. Which input method should be considered for future-proofing?

    Answer: Eye-gaze communication device

    Eye-gaze technology allows computer access using only eye movement, which remains functional even as ALS progresses to complete loss of motor function.

  6. Which type of door hardware is MOST accessible for individuals with limited hand grip strength?

    Answer: Lever-style door handle

    Lever-style handles can be operated with a closed fist or arm pressure, requiring no gripping or twisting, making them the most accessible option for limited hand strength.

  7. When evaluating a home for a client who uses a power scooter, which turning radius specification is MOST critical for room layouts?

    Answer: 60-inch turning radius

    A 60-inch (5-foot) turning radius is the ADA standard for a full 180-degree turn, which is essential for power scooters to maneuver within rooms.
