Who this is for

  • New Direct Care Workers in Arizona who need Level I Fundamentals before they can bill
  • Caregivers, attendants, and homemakers hired by ALTCS / DDD qualified vendors
  • Career-changers moving into home- and community-based services
  • Family caregivers who want a written, citable reference
  • Anyone who failed the 92% written or 100% skills cut-off on a prior attempt

What's covered

  • Member rights, HIPAA, informed consent, and professional boundaries
  • Mandated reporting under A.R.S. § 46-454 (911 → APS / CPS → supervisor → document)
  • Hand hygiene, chain of infection, standard precautions, PPE don/doff
  • Six Rights of medication and DCW scope of practice (assist, never administer injectables)
  • RACE / PASS / FAST, choking, seizure, and aspiration response
  • Objective vs. subjective documentation and incident reporting
  • Body mechanics, transfers, gait belt, mechanical lift
  • Vital signs, food safety 40–140 °F, and end-of-life / advance directives

Why this guide works

  • **Built to the 92% written / 100% skills cut-off, not to look pretty.** Every fact on the cheat sheets shows up on the most-cited public test-taker accounts.
  • Honest sourcing. We base content on the AHCCCS, DES/DDD, and A.R.S. references; we don't pretend to have the official test bank.
  • Designed for a working caregiver — front-loads mandated reporting, the Six Rights, and the acronyms (RACE / PASS / FAST) test-takers say they missed.
  • Pocket card prints on one page. Fold it, scan it, walk into the test with the four numbers (92% / 100% / 90 days / 6 hr/yr) already memorized.

What test-takers say

Based on public test-taker accounts on Quizlet, Stuvia, Docsity, and caregiver forums: - Test-takers repeatedly say the actual exam is the course manual worded differently — and that the most common regret is not reading the manual. - Multiple accounts report that the "right to refuse care" scenario shows up in nearly every form, framed several different ways. - Test-takers say the most-tested single skill is hand hygiene, and the most-tested acronyms are RACE, PASS, and FAST.
