Before implementing the resident survey, what was the attendance percentage?

• A. 30 percent
• B. 50 percent
• C. 65 percent
• D. 70 percent

Answer: (A)

The main concept here is establishing a baseline metric before an intervention. The attendance percentage before implementing the resident survey serves as the starting point that you compare against after the survey is carried out. A value of 30 percent indicates relatively low initial participation, which helps justify the need for the survey to uncover barriers and opportunities to boost engagement. This baseline also sets a realistic target for measuring any subsequent improvements. If attendance had been much higher, say around fifty percent or more, the interpretation of the survey’s impact would be different, but the scenario specifies that the pre-survey attendance was 30 percent, making that the correct baseline to anchor later comparisons.
