When documenting what interventions were attempted, it is important to indicate which interventions were successful and which were not. One reason for this might be:
  1. In case someone in the support group wants to know
  2. In the event that anything happens to the client
  3. In the event that you are being taken to court, you need to protect yourself
  4. B and C
Explanation
Answer - D - The individual in the support group does not have the right to know. Even with informed consent, there is no need to divulge specific information that would go above and beyond the continuity of care summative information that would assist family members. Should anything happen, it is always wise to document your intervention in as much detail as possible so that you will be protected. And nowhere might that protection be more important than in court, where you could be asked to testify.
