Sample Documentation and Reporting questions

  1. Question 1 · Documentation and Reporting

    A client's teacher tells the RBT that the client has started crying and refusing to enter the classroom every morning this week. The RBT's next scheduled meeting with the supervisor is in five days. What should the RBT do?

    1. A. Contact the supervisor about the teacher's report well before that meeting
    2. B. Save the teacher's report for the scheduled meeting in five days
    3. C. Suggest that the teacher offer a reward for entering the classroom
    4. D. Wait to see whether the refusal also happens during the RBT's sessions
    Show the answer

    A. Contact the supervisor about the teacher's report well before that meeting

    A new concern from a team member should reach the supervisor in a timely way, not wait days for the next scheduled meeting. Holding the report, waiting to see the behavior firsthand, or advising the teacher on a reward all delay the report or step outside the RBT's role.

  2. Question 2 · Documentation and Reporting

    A coworker RBT with five years of experience tells the RBT that one of the client's programs is outdated and should simply be stopped. What should the RBT do?

    1. A. Stop running the program, since the coworker has more experience
    2. B. Keep running it as written and ask the supervisor about it
    3. C. Run the program less often until the supervisor next reviews it
    4. D. Ask the caregiver whether the program should be stopped
    Show the answer

    B. Keep running it as written and ask the supervisor about it

    Clinical direction comes from the supervisor, not from other RBTs, however experienced, so the RBT keeps running the program as written and asks the supervisor. Stopping it, running it less often, or letting the caregiver decide all change the plan without the supervisor's direction.

  3. Question 3 · Documentation and Reporting

    A client's compliance is unusually low during a session. Afterward, the caregiver mentions that a family event disrupted the client's bedtime routine last night, and the client slept about three hours less than usual. What should the RBT do?

    1. A. Leave the note as written, since the session is already over
    2. B. Document the lost sleep as a possible factor in today's session
    3. C. Raise today's compliance numbers to reflect a typical night's sleep
    4. D. Remove today's session from the data, since it was not typical
    Show the answer

    B. Document the lost sleep as a possible factor in today's session

    A large change in sleep is a variable that could affect performance, so it is documented alongside the session data even when the RBT learns about it after the session. The data themselves stay as recorded: raising the numbers falsifies them, and removing the session hides real performance from the supervisor.
