any activities are scheduled within the facility. However, others, especially around the holidays, are often scheduled outside of the care facility. Not all residents/patients are able to go. As an activities aide, you will be responsible for assisting with transportation arrangements and determining who is able to be transported safely. The interviewer wants to know that you have an understanding of what is required during this time.

"One of the most important things is to verify with the nurses which patients are able to travel and which ones are not. Just because I know most of the residents doesn't mean that issues may not arise from day to day. So, the morning of a scheduled outing, I always go over the list of residents who are planning to attend and double check with the assigned nurse to make sure it is safe for them to travel with our group."
