Which of the following is not listed as a Direct Supervision principle?

• A. Effective control
• B. Ownership of operation
• C. Architectural design
• D. Just and fair decisions

Answer: (C)

Direct supervision focuses on how staff supervise and interact with residents to maintain safety, order, and fair governance. The principles tied to this approach emphasize governance and interpersonal considerations: ensuring effective control so staff can manage the unit and respond appropriately, sharing ownership of the operation to reflect accountability and collaboration, and making just and fair decisions to uphold due process and consistency.

Architectural design, while important for enabling supervision by shaping visibility and movement within the space, is typically treated as an environmental factor rather than a direct supervision principle itself. That’s why it isn’t listed among the direct supervision principles in this context.
