  1. A CRE wants to measure whether a smoking cessation program produced lasting behavior change six months after completion. Which evaluation type is being applied?

    Answer: Summative outcome evaluation

    Summative outcome evaluation measures whether a program achieved its intended long-term results after completion.

  2. Which project management principle states that scope, time, and cost are interrelated so that changing one affects the others?

    Answer: The triple constraint

    The triple constraint (iron triangle) holds that scope, schedule, and budget are interdependent variables in project management.

  3. A respiratory educator is writing SMART objectives for a new inhaler technique program. Which objective is MOST correctly written?

    Answer: 80% of participants will demonstrate correct MDI technique by program end

    A SMART objective is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound, which the 80% demonstration target best exemplifies.

  4. During a multi-disciplinary respiratory education project, conflict arises between the CRE and the pharmacy team about medication counseling scope. The BEST resolution strategy is:

    Answer: Hold a facilitated meeting to clarify roles using the project charter

    Referencing the project charter to clarify roles resolves scope conflicts through documented agreement rather than hierarchy or avoidance.

  5. A CRE uses a responsibility assignment matrix (RACI chart) in project planning. The 'A' in RACI stands for:

    Answer: Accountable

    In a RACI chart, 'Accountable' designates the one person ultimately answerable for the correct completion of a task.

  6. Which strategy BEST ensures sustainability of a hospital-based respiratory education program after initial grant funding ends?

    Answer: Integrate the program into routine care workflows and align it with reimbursable services

    Embedding education into billable care workflows creates a revenue stream that sustains the program independent of grant cycles.

  7. When conducting a force field analysis for a respiratory education quality improvement project, the goal is to:

    Answer: Identify driving and restraining forces affecting change

    Force field analysis maps the forces that facilitate or inhibit a desired change, guiding strategies to strengthen drivers and reduce barriers.
