Which of the following is a Level 1 area in the Principles of Caregiving training series?

• A. Level 1: Fundamentals
• B. Level 2: Aging and Physical Disabilities
• C. Level 2: Developmental Disabilities
• D. Level 2: Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias

Answer: (A)

The question tests how the Principles of Caregiving training is organized by levels. Level 1 is the foundational, universal module that introduces essential caregiving skills applicable to all residents. Level 1: Fundamentals fits this role, serving as the baseline training before moving on to more specialized Level 2 topics. The other options—Level 2 areas focusing on aging and physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, and dementias—are examples of the more focused Level 2 content. So the Level 1 area is the fundamentals module because it establishes the core, broadly applicable skills caregivers need first.
