Question 1

How should a practitioner correct a handwritten error in a paper client record?

Accepted Answer

Draw a single line through the error, write the correction, and initial and date the change

Question 4

Which field on a session note MOST directly supports continuity of care when another practitioner temporarily covers a client?

Answer

Comprehensive notes on prior formulas, client responses, and contraindications allow a covering practitioner to deliver safe, consistent care without starting from scratch.
