IHSS In-Home Supportive Services Certified Provider

Question 1

An IHSS recipient's daughter, who is not an authorized recipient of services, asks you to do her laundry along with her mother's. What is the appropriate action to take?

Complete the daughter's laundry as a courtesy since you are already doing a load for the recipient. Refuse to do the daughter's laundry and explain that you are only authorized to provide services for the IHSS recipient. Ask the daughter to pay you separately for the extra work. Report the daughter to the county social worker for making an inappropriate request.

Correct Answer:

Refuse to do the daughter's laundry and explain that you are only authorized to provide services for the IHSS recipient.

Question 2

Which of the following tasks is considered an 'unauthorized' task for an IHSS provider?

Taking out the recipient's garbage. Washing the exterior windows of the recipient's home. Accompaniment to a medical appointment. Sweeping and vacuuming the floors.

Correct Answer:

Washing the exterior windows of the recipient's home.

Question 3

A recipient's doctor has ordered daily wound care, which requires sterile procedures. As an IHSS provider, what must happen before you can perform this task?

You can perform the task immediately as long as the recipient gives you instructions. You must receive training from the recipient's family member on how to perform the care. The task must be authorized as a paramedical service by the county, and you must be trained by a licensed healthcare professional. You must complete a general first-aid course online.

Correct Answer:

The task must be authorized as a paramedical service by the county, and you must be trained by a licensed healthcare professional.

Question 4

Your IHSS recipient is hospitalized for a week. They ask you to come to their home to water their plants and clean while they are away. How should you record the hours for these tasks?

Record the hours on your timesheet as 'Domestic Services' since cleaning is an authorized task. Visit the recipient in the hospital and have them sign a paper timesheet for the hours worked at the home. You cannot be paid by IHSS for any services while the recipient is hospitalized, so these hours should not be claimed. Ask the recipient to pay you directly in cash and do not record the hours on your IHSS timesheet.

Correct Answer:

Ask the recipient to pay you directly in cash and do not record the hours on your IHSS timesheet.

Question 5

Which task related to medication is generally authorized for an IHSS provider without requiring special paramedical authorization?

Administering injections. Crushing pills and mixing them into food. Reminding the recipient to take their pre-sorted medications at the correct time. Filling the recipient's weekly pill organizer.

Correct Answer:

Reminding the recipient to take their pre-sorted medications at the correct time.
