✍️ Sample CPR Questions & Answers

1. A homeowner reports that fire odor has returned weeks after remediation was completed. The MOST probable cause is:
Residual contamination in porous materials or unsealed cavities continues to off-gas

Odor recurrence after remediation typically indicates residual contamination in porous substrates or hidden cavities that was not addressed during the initial scope.

2. In contents pack-out, what is the purpose of the 'room of origin' notation on inventory forms?
It ensures items can be returned to their correct location during pack-back

Noting the room of origin on inventory forms ensures each item can be accurately returned to its proper location during the pack-back phase, maintaining the homeowner's living arrangement.

3. What is the primary ethical obligation of a CPR professional when a conflict of interest arises during contents pack-out & restoration activities?
Disclose the conflict to all relevant parties and recuse from the decision if necessary

The primary ethical obligation when a conflict of interest arises in contents pack-out & restoration is to disclose it to all relevant parties and, if necessary, recuse from the decision. This maintains professional integrity and stakeholder trust.

4. Which moisture meter type is BEST suited for quickly scanning large areas of hardwood flooring without surface damage?
Pinless (non-invasive) capacitance meter

Pinless capacitance meters scan large areas quickly and non-destructively by measuring changes in the electromagnetic field caused by moisture below the surface.

5. When removing wet drywall with a reciprocating saw, the FIRST safety step before cutting should be:
Verifying no electrical wiring or plumbing is behind the wall

Before cutting into any wall, utilities behind it must be verified to avoid striking live wires or pressurized pipes, which is especially critical in water-damaged structures.

6. What is 'subrogation' in the insurance claims context?
The insurer's right to pursue a negligent third party after paying the insured's claim

Subrogation allows the insurer, after settling a claim, to recover those paid damages from the third party whose negligence caused the loss.
