According to the Health Protection/Health Promotion Model (Austin), which component focuses on prescriptive activities directed by the therapist?
Answer: Prescribed activity
In Austin's model, prescribed activities are directed by the therapist to stabilize or improve the client's health — the client moves toward recreation and leisure as they gain independence.
A CTRS documents that a client 'appeared sad.' This type of documentation is problematic because it is:
Answer: Subjective and not based on observable behavior
Effective clinical documentation must be objective and observable — 'appeared sad' is subjective; instead, document specific observable behaviors like 'client sat alone, did not make eye contact, spoke in one-word responses.'
Which of the following is an example of an 'enabling objective' within a TR program plan?
Answer: Client will name three leisure resources in the community
Enabling objectives are specific, measurable knowledge or skill steps that lead toward a broader terminal objective — naming leisure resources is a concrete enabling step toward community reintegration.
Which risk management principle should guide a CTRS when planning an outdoor adventure program?
Answer: Conduct a risk-benefit analysis and implement reasonable safeguards
Risk management in TR involves conducting a thorough risk-benefit analysis and implementing reasonable safeguards — not eliminating all risk, which would eliminate therapeutic benefit.
The NCTRC Job Task Analysis identifies which domain as including 'individualizing the TR intervention based on assessment data'?
Answer: Treatment/program planning domain
The treatment/program planning domain encompasses individualizing interventions based on assessment findings, establishing goals, and designing appropriate TR programs.
A client with traumatic brain injury demonstrates impulsivity during leisure activities. The MOST appropriate TR intervention strategy is:
Answer: Use structured activities with clear rules, visual cues, and immediate feedback
Structured activities with clear rules, visual cues, and immediate feedback help clients with TBI manage impulsivity by providing external scaffolding for self-regulation.
Which approach to program evaluation examines whether a TR program achieved its stated goals and objectives?
Answer: Outcome evaluation
Outcome evaluation (also called summative evaluation) determines whether the program achieved its intended goals and objectives for clients.
