  1. A newly hired recreation coordinator is asked by a supervisor to backdate an incident report. The coordinator should:

    Answer: Refuse, as backdating is falsification of official records

    Backdating official records is falsification regardless of who requests it; refusal is the only ethical response.

  2. Which of the following BEST illustrates the ethical principle of beneficence in therapeutic recreation?

    Answer: Designing programs to actively promote participants' health and well-being

    Beneficence means actively acting to promote the welfare and positive outcomes of those served, not merely avoiding harm.

  3. A recreation agency's strategic plan is approved only by the executive director without board review. This MOST likely violates:

    Answer: Governance standards requiring board authority over organizational direction

    Strategic planning is a board-level governance function; unilateral approval by an executive director bypasses required oversight.

  4. A recreation professional who accepts gifts from vendors seeking contracts is MOST likely violating:

    Answer: Anti-corruption and conflict-of-interest policies

    Accepting gifts from vendors seeking contracts creates improper influence and violates standard conflict-of-interest and anti-corruption policies.

  5. An open meetings law (sunshine law) PRIMARILY requires that:

    Answer: Governing board deliberations and votes occur in public view with proper notice

    Open meetings (sunshine) laws ensure that public bodies conduct their official deliberations and votes in public sessions with adequate prior notice.

  6. When a recreation professional serves on the board of a competing nonprofit while employed by a public agency, the MOST important ethical obligation is:

    Answer: Fully disclosing the dual role to the employer and following agency policy

    Transparency through disclosure to the employer and adherence to agency conflict-of-interest policy is the required ethical response.

  7. Which document MOST clearly defines the scope of authority and responsibilities of a parks and recreation board?

    Answer: The enabling legislation or agency bylaws

    Enabling legislation or organizational bylaws formally establish the board's legal authority, powers, and responsibilities.
