Question 1

Which of the following is not an accurate representation of the virtual component of the environment?&#10;A) People with mental illness may have limited access to the virtual environment.&#10;B) Social media can contribute to negative mental health outcomes.&#10;C) Virtual environments are easily accessible by all populations.&#10;D) Excessive use of social media is associated with depression.

Accepted Answer

Virtual environments are not necessarily easily accessible by all populations. There are still many barriers to access, including limited internet availability in certain areas or for certain socioeconomic groups, as well as disabilities that may make it difficult to navigate virtual spaces.

Question 2

Identify the following statement that best represents the impact of attitudinal barriers on individuals with mental illness.&#10;A) Stigma can impact an individual's willingness to disclose his or her disability to obtain accommodations to increase success in the workplace.&#10;B) Stigma can lead to increased complexity in the physical environment.&#10;C) Stigma can lead to decreased access to transportation.&#10;D) Stigma can lead to decreased choice in many aspects of the community.

Accepted Answer

Attitudinal barriers, such as stigma, can prevent individuals with mental illness from disclosing their disability in the workplace, which can limit their access to accommodations that may improve their chances of success. This can have a negative impact on their employment opportunities and overall quality of life. The other statements may also represent barriers faced by individuals with mental illness, but they do not directly relate to attitudinal barriers.

Question 3

Food pantries, soup kitchens, and thrift stores are all examples of _________________.&#10;A) Peer-led organizations&#10;B) Family support&#10;C) Community resources&#10;D) Supportive education

Accepted Answer

Food pantries, soup kitchens, and thrift stores are all resources provided by the community to support those in need. They are not peer-led organizations, family support, or educational programs.

Question 4

The belief that occupational performance is a convergence of the individual, occupation, and environment represents which of the following models of practice?&#10;A) Ecology of Human Performance&#10;B) Person-Environment-Occupation&#10;C) Occupational Adaptation&#10;D) Kawa Model

Accepted Answer

The Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) model emphasizes the importance of the interplay between the person, environment, and occupation in determining occupational performance. The Ecology of Human Performance (EHP) model explores the transactional relationship between the person, occupation, environment, and ongoing transactions as a means of identifying functional limitations and possible interventions. The Occupational Adaptation (OA) model focuses on the adaptive process of individuals in response to the environment and explains how individuals adapt to maximize their occupational potential. The Kawa Model is a holistic model originating from Japan that uses water as a metaphor for life experiences and occupational well-being. Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Question 5

The belief that the environment demands mastery, and engagement with the environment results in an adaptive response, represents which of the following models of practice?&#10;A) Ecology of Human Performance&#10;B) Person-Environment-Occupation&#10;C) Occupational Adaptation&#10;D) Kawa Model

Accepted Answer

The Occupational Adaptation model posits that the interaction between the person, the occupational environment, and the demand for performance results in adaptation. This model emphasizes the importance of mastering the environment and engaging with it to produce an adaptive response.

Question 6

The belief that people with lived experience of mental illness can support others going through a similar experience is most often seen in which of the following?&#10;A) Peer-led organizations&#10;B) Family support&#10;C) Community resources&#10;D) Supportive education

Accepted Answer

Peer-led organizations are specifically structured around the belief that those with lived experience of mental illness can help others going through a similar experience. These organizations often provide support groups, educational programs, and other resources led by individuals who have navigated mental illness themselves, providing a unique and valuable perspective to those seeking help. While family support and community resources can also be helpful for individuals with mental illness, they do not necessarily rely on the same peer-support model as these organizations. Supportive education can be helpful as well, but does not necessarily involve the same type of peer-to-peer connection that peer-led organizations do.

Question 7

Buildings, green space, objects, and tools are all aspects of which component of the environment?&#10;A) Physical&#10;B) Social&#10;C) Temporal&#10;D) Virtual

Accepted Answer

Buildings, green space, objects, and tools are physical aspects of the environment, meaning they are related to the natural and built elements found in the world around us. Social aspects refer to the human social interactions within the environment, temporal aspects refer to the time-related aspects such as seasons and climate, and virtual aspects refer to digital or online environments.

Question 8

Congress, the judicial system, and policies such as the Americans with Disabilities Act are all related to which of the following components of the environment?&#10;A) Physical&#10;B) Social&#10;C) Temporal&#10;D) Virtual

Accepted Answer

Congress, the judicial system, and policies such as the Americans with Disabilities Act all reflect social factors that shape individuals and communities. They are not directly related to physical, temporal, or virtual aspects of the environment.
