Which statement best describes when outside-facility duties are allowed?

• A. They are never allowed.
• B. They are allowed for a physically or mentally ill person at the person’s home or at a wedding, quincenera, or photo shoot.
• C. They are allowed for any client with consent.
• D. They are allowed during emergencies only.

Answer: (B)

Outside-facility duties are allowed when care can be safely delivered outside a formal facility, such as at the patient’s home or during events the patient attends. The best choice fits because it recognizes the caregiver can provide needed support in familiar or community settings (home, weddings, quinceañeras, photo shoots) for someone who is physically or mentally ill, as long as the care is within scope and properly authorized.

Other options miss the practical and safety limits: care isn’t prohibited entirely, but it isn’t open to any client with consent—the setting, patient condition, and scope matter; it isn’t limited to emergencies, and emergencies are just one possible scenario, not the standard for outside-facility duties.
