Question

question 8

chuck is a warehouse manager and has been for most of his career. much of his work involves supervising employees as they move fragile, large, and/or heavy packages from one location to another.

which selection best represents how chuck would assess physical abilities of employees?

• assess reaction time and rate control
• assess control precision and fine motor skills
• assess eye-hand or multi-limb coordination
• assess several types of strengths, flexibilities, and coordination

Explanation:

Analyze the job requirements

Using the Psychomotor Abilities knowledge point
The scenario describes a warehouse environment where employees move "fragile, large, and/or heavy packages." This work requires physical capabilities such as lifting heavy loads (strength), bending or reaching (flexibility), and balancing or carrying items safely without dropping them (coordination).

Evaluate the options

Using the Psychomotor Abilities knowledge point

• Assess reaction time and rate control: These are specific psychomotor abilities, more relevant to operating fast-moving machinery or driving, rather than general manual package handling.
• Assess control precision and fine motor skills: These relate to precise, small-muscle movements (like assembly line work or electronics repair), which do not match moving large and heavy packages.
• Assess eye-hand or multi-limb coordination: While coordination is involved, this option is too narrow because it ignores the primary physical demands of lifting heavy and large packages (strength and flexibility).
• Assess several types of strengths, flexibilities, and coordination: This is the most comprehensive and accurate option. Moving large, heavy, and fragile packages directly requires static/dynamic strength, trunk/extent flexibility, and gross body coordination.

Answer:

• Assess reaction time and rate control
• Assess control precision and fine motor skills
• Assess eye-hand or multi-limb coordination
• Assess several types of strengths, flexibilities, and coordination (Correct answer)
