Material take-offs mean counting, measuring, and listing all the material, devices, and equipment required to complete the installation and fulfill the contract. Pricing means assigning actual individual costs for each item, as well as the labour required to install everything. Standard labour units are usually used, as established by various organizations, based on specified working conditions. These units would be adjusted according to actual job conditions. Summarizing the job estimate will also include other costs, such as overhead, tool and equipment rentals, travel, and, of course, profit. 24 White privilege is an institutionalized set of benefits granted to those who resemble the people in power in a culture's institutions. only granted to people of color who acculturate into ‘white' culture. a myth that has been refuted by empirical studies. thus named because it is benign and harmless, like ‘white magic' or ‘white lies'.

    Chapter_2 1 Constructivists propose that people test their personal constructs by noting how well the constructs predict life circumstances. True False 2 The strengths perspective invites clients to look for their weaknesses or problems, to identify supportive external resources to help them overcome weaknesses, and to focus on possibilities for the future. True False 3 Resilience is the ability to respond effectively to stressors. True False 4 The ecological perspective looks primarily at reciprocal relationships between people and their environment. True False 5 In the ecological perspective, behaviors are seen as dysfunctional and maladaptive. True False

    6 The dual perspective recognizes that life is viewed differently by people in marginalized groups since culture maintains the dominant group's power by objectifying the "other." True False 7 A personal construct is an explanation of an event or series of events that eventually becomes the lens through which the individual sees the world. True False 8 Historically, Western cultures have valued family relationships whereas many other cultures have favored more individual relationships over family and communal relationships. True False 9 The Constructivist practitioner works with clients to find out if there are exceptions to their experiences that might challenge their current construction of reality and to identify ways the construct may be causing problems for the clients. True False 10 Problems are usually experienced as something that can be overcome and may represent an opportunity for growth, as opposed to challenges, which are often viewed negatively. True False 11 Focusing on the present rather than on the past or the future is a quality that can build resilience.

True False 14 People of color are more likely than the dominant white population to endorse a worldview that promotes both individual and collective resilience. True False 15 In the past, helping professionals often viewed the world through a(n) foggy lens. problem-solving lens. microscope. interpretation of dreams. A three-wire system uses one wire as a neutral or return path, and a three-phase system uses three hot wires, so the three-phase system brings more power to a location. In three-wire systems, the two hot wires are opposite polarity with DC or 180° out of phase with AC, but three-phase power employs three hot wires 120° out of phase with each other. 16 All of the following are ways of perceiving self and others EXCEPT

It is much cheaper, as the conductors are smaller and all the equipment that supports it is also cheaper to build. 17 Which of the following is NOT included in the text's description of personality? Behavior patterns Traits Characteristics Emotions The insulators are different sizes to break up flowing liquids into droplets because streams would provide a conductive path for electricity. 18 All of the following are resilience models EXCEPT Challenge Model. Compensatory Model. Protective Model. Stress Recovery Model. The basic impulse limits of a system are the voltage spikes caused by lightning, arc faults, or harmonics that briefly raise the voltage of a wire much higher than the nominal voltage to which the wire is connected. They occur normally during the operation of any high-voltage conductor, and so the insulators that isolate the conductors must be capable of withstanding these spikes in voltage to prevent flashover and the collapse of voltage that will follow. 19 There is a direct correlation between empowerment and level of participation. independence. happiness. wealth. They are buried to reduce the possibility of human interaction or of weather interfering with the cable and to improve the appearance of the power distribution system. 20 Which of the following is NOT one of the three components of the ecological perspective?

    Chapter_3 1 When people establish new relationships, there is a tendency to fit the new relationship into an established pattern similar to an established relationship. True False 2 Less information is available about the practitioner in the practitioner/client relationship than in other types of relationships. True False 3 There is an imbalance of power or authority in the practitioner-client relationship, with the client wielding more power. True False 4 Relationship rules involve protecting confidentiality, ensuring that the needs of the client take precedence over those of the practitioner, and clarifying assumptions that the client may have about any interactions outside of the professional one. True False 5 Practitioners who lack awareness of their personal values and morals are better practitioners because they will not consciously allow their values and morals to influence their relationship with their client. True False

    6 The agency at which the practitioner is employed is mandated by law to ensure that their rules are in compliance with the stipulations of the practitioner's code of ethics. True False 7 One of the challenges of being a practitioner is to keep the interaction focused toward finding solutions for the stated problems. True False 8 The client is more responsible than the practitioner, both within and outside the professional relationship. True False 9 Even if practitioners are unable to establish an effective relationship with clients, they can make up for the lack of relationship with their knowledge and skills. True False 10 Due to the interpersonal nature of the practitioner-client relationship, the client also has a role to take care of the practitioner and listen sympathetically. True False 11 Who you are as a practitioner and the types of relationships you create with clients is often as important as what you actually do and say during your time with clients.

    True False 12 The types of agencies or settings in which practitioners work often have similar expectations. True False 13 Your personal beliefs about what is appropriate, valuable, or acceptable should always be in line with professional values. True False High-voltage current-limiting fuses are installed in this industrial building. The fuse selected must meet the predetermined voltage, frequency, and current requirements for the installation. Fuses are available in both 25 Hz and 60 Hz systems and for voltage ratings of 2400 V and up. 14 Legal responsibilities are the same across all of the states. True False There are two sides to every transformer: the primary and the secondary. The primary is always connected to the voltage source, and the secondary is always connected to the load. This explains why, in most cases, the primary voltage is higher than the secondary voltage. For example, a step-down 600 V to 120/208 V transformer is the one that most students are familiar with. If someone was to accidentally connect the line side to the secondary side, and the secondary to the line side, the opposite would happen, so if 600 V was connected on the secondary, out of the primary terminals, you would get approximately 1800 V. 15 To be a competent practitioner, you will need to know how to form quick judgments of your clients. solid professional relationships. personal opinions. modeling clay during play therapy.

    ∙ The fence must be located at least 1 m inside the perimeter of the ground electrode area. ∙ From the station ground, a minimum No. 2/0 AWG copper conductor must be run to each corner post, gate post, and end post. Intermediate posts must be grounded at every 12 m. ∙ The gate post must be grounded to the gate by a No. 2/0 AWG flexible copper conductor. ∙ Using, once again, a No. 2/0 AWG copper conductor, the fence and posts are bonded to the bottom tension wire, weaving the conductor through the fence at least twice, then connected to the top fence rail and the barbed wire strands. 16 Which of the following is NOT considered a dual relationship? You and your client are members of the same small, local church. You and your client live in the same city. Your client is your dentist. Your client is a co-worker of your spouse. Use only CSA-approved conduits and supports. ∙ Ensure that ducts are laid as straight as possible. Dips in ducts can cause them to hold water, and trapped water can freeze and damage cables. Runs should also be sloped to drain away any water that seeps into them. ∙ Use as few bends as possible. The more bends used, the higher the pulling force required. Long runs with many bends may exceed the maximum pulling tension that can be applied to the cable. ∙ Ducts entering handholes or utility access holes should line up both vertically and horizontally. 17 All of the following are reasons that the role of the helping professional is more difficult to define than those of other professionals EXCEPT situations vary a lot. training is not standardized among the various helping professions. the field has focused extensively on defining the role of the helping professional in the past. the clientele is very diverse. Determine the best direction to pull, based on pulling tension calculations. ∙ Locate the cable reel so that pulling tension is minimized. ∙ Choose a pulling eye or grip that is sized correctly for the conductors. ∙ Select a rope that has low stretch characteristics and adequate breaking strength. ∙ Measure and keep an eye on the pulling tension by installing a dynamometer. ∙ Before the pull, swab the conduit and make sure it is free of debris and any other obstructions. ∙ Use a pulling lubricant on the conductors before and during to minimize friction.

    ∙ Make use of radios or cellphones for communicating on a long run. ∙ Try not to stop the pull partway through (which would mean sudden jerks and stress on the rope and conductors when restarting). ∙ Once the conductors have been installed, seal off the ends of the raceway so water or other debris does not get in. ∙ Check the conductors with a megger after they are installed. 18 As a professional you will have to set aside your ___________ so that you can clearly understand your client. personal values and opinions integrity social responsibility personal identity 19 Which of the following is a reason why knowledgeable professionals violate ethical standards? They are ignorant or misinformed. They are exploitative, irresponsible, or vengeful. They are insensitive to the needs of their clients. They believe they are acting in the best interests of the client. 20 Besides keeping the relationship focused on finding solutions for stated problems, the practitioner also has the responsibility for finding all of the solutions for the client. monitoring the emotional side of the relationship. maintaining a physical attraction to the client. the well-being of the client's spouse. 21 A personal relationship with a client after the professional relationship has ended is not considered a dual relationship. is still a dual relationship and should be avoided. is preferred in order to maintain contact with the client. is only permitted in the case of non-romantic personal relationships. 22 The code of ethics in a number of disciplines

    One type of busway is the feeder busway, which is used for service entrances and ties between feeder pieces such as MCCs and switchboards. The feeder type is available in sizes up to 5000 A. A second type is the plug-in busway. This is used to supply power to multiple loads and provides a simple means of connecting a large variety of equipment in industrial buildings. It is a flexible power distribution system that is convenient in locations where the layout of equipment is frequently changed. 6 Deciding what changes the client needs to make after the first session and providing recommendations for change is helpful for the client. True False This is accomplished by using flanged end connections that match perfectly from the busway to the busbars in the enclosure. The reduced length reduces the total impedance, and the closeness of the busbars to each other reduces the magnetic fields. 7 Asking leading questions has the same effect as labeling and should be done. True False ∙ More flexible. There is no need to relocate an entire section to move a piece of equipment, just the bus plug. ∙ Equipment can be moved without shutting down the whole system. ∙ There is no need to constantly calculate what size conduit or conductor is required. ∙ There is no need to pull cables or worry about box fill calculations. ∙ Ease of installation: no bending, cutting, reaming, etc. 8 A climate of safety and trust encourages clients to think about their challenges in new ways and begin to explore a different way of acting. True False The busway used in the industrial building is supported by rods and messenger cables that are, in turn, supported from the overhead structure. The support spacing is required to be 1.5 m or less, per the CEC . 9 One of the challenges of being empathic is that it requires understanding another person's subjective experience while maintaining the capacity to differentiate yourself from that person. True

    False Follow the CEC Rules 12-2000 to 12-2020 . ∙ Always check the busway for damage when receiving busway sections. ∙ The busway is large and heavy, so be careful when moving it. Use proper lifting methods. ∙ Keep the busway dry and away from any possible contaminants (chemicals, gases, etc.). ∙ Always know well in advance the routes that you are planning to use. To prevent any conflict, notify other trades of your intentions. ∙ Do a check to make sure you have all the proper hangers, flanges, and fittings before installing the busway. ∙ Double-check everything, including measurements (it’s hard to relocate a 5000 lb switchboard if your busway is in the wrong location because you measured incorrectly). ∙ Always torque all connections to the proper specs. Use a torque wrench. ∙ When the installation is complete, always do a final check with a megger before applying any power. 10 Labeling is a sophisticated way to conceptualize and portray another person and is helpful in understanding the client's issues. True False 11 Instead of listening to and expressing empathy concerning the client's situation, beginning practitioners often ask too many questions. True False 12 Practitioners express warmth verbally by showing interest, acceptance, and concern for their clients. True False 13 Being respectful involves being polite and following appropriate cultural norms.
