74. Later, a 10-year-old boy comes inside with a skinned knee.  One of the CYC practitioners takes him over to the first aid area.  When the CYC practitioner puts on latex gloves, the youth shouts, “I ain’t no drug addict!”  The staff member responds, “Don’t worry, we treat everyone the same here.”  The boy makes an angry face at the CYC practitioner. A better way for the CYC practitioner to respond might have been:

55. Harry was aware that these youth had a lot of room to grow personally and emotionally.  He also recognized their skill levels in social skills and problem solving, along with their general developmental deficits.  The camping trip would create a new context for youth to be challenged; and they would also be required to respond to those challenges, both individually and as a group.  If implemented successfully, the youth would have fun and experience a broad range of feelings, attitudes, new skills, behaviors and ideas that would offer them new ways of thinking of, and interacting with, themselves and the world they live in.   What option below promotes the most effective approach to enabling the youth to gain from this experience?

CASE STUDY 6:  You and another CYC practitioner are working with a group of ten children who are 5 to 12 years old. The two of you are responsible for programming the after-school activities including serving snacks for the group.  Your plan for today involves an art activity. Each child lies down on a sheet of newsprint and a partner draws the body shape. Each child then finishes the picture using collage materials from a variety of magazines and gluing them to the body shape.  The shapes are then cut out and hung on the wall. In addition to this activity, the meal plan calls for pizza tortillas as the snack.  When you go to prepare the snacks you notice that none of the food materials have been prepped yet.  Tortillas, a block of cheddar cheese, and a chunk of pepperoni are on the kitchen counter and there is a note saying that your shift partner has gone to the store for tomato sauce and mushrooms.  Three children immediately tell you they are “starving” and four others announce that they “hate” pepperoni or are “allergic” to cheese. Two of the 12-year-old boys are busy teasing an 11-year-old girl by making a disrespectful comment to her.  This is first time you have noticed this kind of behavior.

41. In this case study, which of the following would be most appropriate to support this family?

72. The basketball games get louder, and you notice the youth are using a lot of put-downs and taunting language.  As the situation escalates, one of the CYC practitioners intercedes and stops the games.  He then directs the youth to line up for snacks.  Following snacks, the staff member gets the group organized to play a dodge ball game.  This leads to the same group of skillful, aggressive older youth dominating the game.  You again notice the youth are using a lot of put-downs and taunting language. You think this could have been better handled by stopping the game, getting the group in a circle and _____.

36. What would be the best way to translate the Red School House’s mission to “provide the best individual care for children based on their developmental needs” into an educational and care plan for Adrienne?

54. A day into the camping trip, it appeared evident to Harry and the other staff members that the way the youth were grouped in the canoes needed to be addressed.  It was important that the entire group reach its travel destinations every day, and the group was falling behind its schedule further each day.  Although the youth all claimed to be “expert” canoeists, canoes frequently traveled in circles, arguments between the young people in the same canoe erupted about who was working harder, and a couple of times a paddle ended up floating away from the canoe in the water.  Harry and his staff discussed alternatives based on their observations and knowledge of the youth’s histories.  While the youth were initially excited about the idea of canoeing, it was evident that their attitude could deteriorate if there was no intervention by the staff members.  Which of the following courses of action is the best?

40. One day, the CYC practitioner, Laurie, noticed something moving on Ricardo’s head. When she examined it closely, she thought she saw head lice and nits in his hair, although she did not have much experience with these matters. She called it to the attention of the center’s director, who confirmed that she thought it was lice. The center director told Laurie to inform Ricardo’s grandmother, who usually came to pick him up, that she must get him checked out by the doctor before he came back to the center. Since it was only 45 minutes until the end of the day, the center director said it would be okay to keep Ricardo in class until the grandmother came to pick him up. The Red School House employs two bilingual CYC practitioners, but both were not working on the day that the staff discovered that Ricardo had head lice leaving no one able to communicate this to the grandmother.  What should the center director and Laurie have done about telling someone about the possibility that Ricardo had lice?
