An individual who has been using illegal substances for many years is referred to a supportive housing program. The program manager's FIRST step should be to
Correct Answer: D
Supportive housing programs aim to provide stable housing for individuals with complex needs, including substance use, while promoting community integration. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain III: Community Integration) emphasizes harm reduction and person-centered approaches to support housing access for individuals with co-occurring disorders (Task III.A.1: "Support individuals in accessing and maintaining stable housing"). Option D (admit the individual while providing harm reduction) aligns with this, as it prioritizes housing stability-a critical recovery foundation-while addressing substance use through harm reduction strategies (e.g., education, safer use practices) rather than exclusionary conditions. Option A (refer to inpatient treatment) delays housing access, which is a priority for stability. Option B (request a clean drug screen) is exclusionary and contradicts recovery-oriented, harm reduction principles. Option C (request outpatient counseling compliance) imposes conditions that may deter engagement and are not the first step. The PRA Study Guide and SAMHSA guidelines on housing for co-occurring disorders emphasize harm reduction to ensure access, supporting Option D. : CPRP Exam Blueprint (2014), Domain III: Community Integration, Task III.A.1.

Question 42
Readiness in rehabilitation refers to how
Correct Answer: C
Rehabilitation readiness assesses an individual's preparedness to engage in goal-setting and pursue recovery- oriented objectives. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain IV: Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes) defines readiness as the individual's capacity and motivation to identify and work toward specific goals (Task IV.A.2: "Assess individual's stage of change and readiness for goal-setting"). Option C (prepared an individual is to set a goal) aligns with this, as readiness involves evaluating factors like hope, confidence, and willingness to define achievable rehabilitation goals, such as employment or education. Option A (developed skills) focuses on abilities, not readiness, which is about motivation and mindset. Option B (likelihood to follow through) is an outcome of readiness, not its definition. Option D (likelihood to succeed or fail) is overly outcome-focused and not the primary focus of readiness assessment. The PRA Study Guide describes readiness as the precursor to effective goal-setting, supporting Option C. : CPRP Exam Blueprint (2014), Domain IV: Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes, Task IV.A.2.

Question 43
Identifying personal preferences and values is a part of assessing
Correct Answer: C
Assessing rehabilitation readiness involves understanding an individual's motivation, confidence, and personal drivers for pursuing recovery goals. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain IV: Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes) includes identifying personal preferences and values as part of readiness assessment to determine an individual's preparedness for goal-setting (Task IV.A.2: "Assess individual's stage of change and readiness for goal-setting"). Option C (rehabilitation readiness) aligns with this, as preferences and values (e.g., what matters most to the individual, such as family or independence) inform their willingness and motivation to engage in rehabilitation activities. Option A (resource needs) focuses on external supports, not personal values. Option B (mental health status) pertains to clinical symptoms, not preferences or readiness. Option D (skill functioning) assesses abilities, not motivational factors like values. The PRA Study Guide emphasizes that understanding preferences and values is critical for assessing readiness, supporting Option C. : CPRP Exam Blueprint (2014), Domain IV: Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes, Task IV.A.2.
