Discuss Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association CPRP Exam Topic 7 Question 1

An individual has been using the bus to get to work, but weekend service has been eliminated. He works every other Saturday. He and the practitioner research possible options including riding with co-workers. This strategy is an example of

Aresource coordination.

Bpeer support.

Cjob coaching.

Dresource modification.

Suggested Answer: A

Community integration involves connecting individuals with resources to maintain participation in valued roles, such as employment. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain III: Community Integration) emphasizes coordinating resources to overcome barriers to community participation (Task III.C.1: 'Coordinate access to community resources to support integration'). Option A (resource coordination) aligns with this, as the practitioner and individual collaboratively research alternative transportation options (e.g., riding with co-workers) to address the barrier of eliminated bus service, ensuring the individual can continue working.

Option B (peer support) is incorrect, as the strategy involves practical resource exploration, not emotional or experiential support from peers. Option C (job coaching) focuses on workplace skill-building, not transportation solutions. Option D (resource modification) implies altering existing resources (e.g., changing bus schedules), which is not described, as the strategy involves finding new options. The PRA Study Guide underscores resource coordination as a key practice for maintaining community roles, supporting Option A.

This feels similar to a practice question we did on job coaching, but I don't think that's the right answer here.

I agree, riding with co-workers is a smart move.

D) resource modification has got to be the answer. Changing how he gets to work is modifying the available resources.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Could it be A) resource coordination? Arranging rides with co-workers seems like a way to coordinate resources.

Kip 11 months ago

B) peer support sounds like the right answer here. Riding with co-workers is a form of peer support.

Hmm, job coaching doesn't seem relevant here. I think it's either resource coordination or peer support, but I'm not 100% sure which one. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Vanna 12 months ago

I feel pretty confident this is resource modification. He's adapting his transportation situation to the new bus schedule, which seems to fit that description best.

Malcolm 12 months ago

I'm a little confused on this one. Is resource coordination about finding new resources, or just coordinating existing ones? I'm not sure if that's the right answer here.

Portia 1 year ago

Okay, let's think this through. He's coordinating with his co-workers to get a ride, so I'm leaning towards peer support. That seems like the best fit based on the information provided.

Carissa 1 year ago

Hmm, this one seems tricky. I think it might be resource modification, since he's trying to find a new way to get to work after the bus schedule changed.
