Question

Difficulty: medium. Skill: apply. Type: applied scenario.

An intervention reduces grabbing items from shelves during clinic sessions, but care team cannot use it during daily routines. Across 5 sessions in service week 44, 2 observers recorded 25 minutes of observation in the community outing. Before continuing unchanged, the BCBA should:

A
Revise the plan with stakeholders so it remains function based and practical to implement.

Correct answer

B
Keep a plan that works in sessions even though the people implementing it cannot do it reliably.
C
Remove supports abruptly once the graph improves for two sessions.
D
Use the most restrictive option first because it may produce the fastest visible change.

Explanation

Answer A

The decision point is: Does the answer choose a feasible, least intrusive, function-based intervention and monitor implementation? This item specifically tests Collaboration to support client services through a applied-client-service-scenario format. The key clue is in the stem facts: An intervention reduces grabbing items from shelves during clinic sessions, but care team cannot use it during daily routines. Across 5 sessions in service week 44, 2 observers recorded 25 minutes of observation in the community outing. Before continuing unchanged, the BCBA should: Answer A is strongest because it follows this rule: Revise the plan with stakeholders so it remains function based and practical to implement. It fits the source-backed rule without announcing that rule in the stem. The tempting mistake is to choose a shortcut before the scenario's prerequisite is satisfied. This choice is weaker because it does not resolve the key prerequisite in the scenario: an intervention reduces grabbing items from shelves during clinic sessions, but care team cannot use it during daily routines. Across 5 sessions in service week 44, 2 observers recorded 25 minutes of observation in the community outing. Before continuing unchanged, the BCBA should: Exam move: name the missing prerequisite first, then eliminate answers that jump to a label, a familiar procedure, a single data point, or an undocumented action.

Does the answer choose a feasible, least intrusive, function-based intervention and monitor implementation?

Clue
What the stem gives you

An intervention reduces grabbing items from shelves during clinic sessions, but care team cannot use it during daily routines. Across 5 sessions in service week 44, 2 observers recorded 25 minutes of observation in the community outing. Before continuing unchanged, the BCBA should:

Trap
Common trap

Keep plan unchanged despite implementation barriers. This often shows up as improved graph means stakeholder concerns do not matter..

Fix
If you missed this item

Rewrite the miss as a rule: "When I see Social validity and feasibility, I must identify the relevant evidence before choosing the action." Then answer two related H domain questions without reading explanations first.

Next drill

Practice 3 more questions tagged to Social validity and feasibility, then explain why each wrong answer is weaker before moving back to mixed practice.

Why the other choices are weaker

B
Choice B

This choice is weaker because it does not resolve the key prerequisite in the scenario: an intervention reduces grabbing items from shelves during clinic sessions, but care team cannot use it during daily routines. Across 5 sessions in service week 44, 2 observers recorded 25 minutes of observation in the community outing. Before continuing unchanged, the BCBA should:

C
Choice C

This choice weakens the data basis for the decision. A defensible answer must check whether the measurement, observation, or visual-analysis evidence supports the next step.

D
Choice D

This choice moves too quickly toward a more intrusive response. The better answer checks function, risk, feasibility, and less intrusive options first.
