Question 1

According to the Health Protection/Health Promotion Model (Austin), which component focuses on prescriptive activities directed by the therapist?

Accepted Answer

Prescribed activity

Answer

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.

Question 2

A CTRS documents that a client 'appeared sad.' This type of documentation is problematic because it is:

Accepted Answer

Subjective and not based on observable behavior

Answer

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.'

Question 3

Which of the following is an example of an 'enabling objective' within a TR program plan?

Accepted Answer

Client will name three leisure resources in the community

Answer

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.

Question 4

Which risk management principle should guide a CTRS when planning an outdoor adventure program?

Accepted Answer

Conduct a risk-benefit analysis and implement reasonable safeguards

Answer

Risk management in TR involves conducting a thorough risk-benefit analysis and implementing reasonable safeguards — not eliminating all risk, which would eliminate therapeutic benefit.

Question 5

The NCTRC Job Task Analysis identifies which domain as including 'individualizing the TR intervention based on assessment data'?

Accepted Answer

Treatment/program planning domain

Answer

The treatment/program planning domain encompasses individualizing interventions based on assessment findings, establishing goals, and designing appropriate TR programs.
