Which of the following are listed as operative values?

• A. Participation in the community
• B. Being positive
• C. All of the above
• D. Individuality

Answer: (C)

Operative values are the everyday standards that guide how you interact with clients, families, and coworkers. Participation in the community shows the importance of connection, teamwork, and contributing to others beyond the immediate setting. Being positive reflects a constructive attitude, encouragement, and resilience that help create a supportive environment. Since both of these are listed as operative values, the choice that includes both is the best because it acknowledges that multiple values guide behavior, not just one. Even on their own, each item reflects a valuable quality, but the inclusive choice correctly captures that both are considered operative values.
