RBT Documentation and Reporting Test #1 2

Question 1

Which of the following BEST describes an objective behavioral note?

Accepted Answer

"The client engaged in 4 instances of hitting directed at the therapist during math tasks."

Answer

An objective note describes observable, measurable behavior using specific, factual language. Stating the number of hitting instances and the context is objective and free of interpretation.

Question 2

An RBT makes an error when writing a session note on paper. What is the CORRECT way to correct this error?

Accepted Answer

Draw a single line through the error, initial and date it, and write the correction next to it

Answer

The correct procedure for correcting handwritten documentation errors is to draw a single line through the error, initial and date the correction, and write the correct information. This preserves the original entry for audit purposes.

Question 3

Under HIPAA, which action by an RBT would be a violation of client privacy?

Accepted Answer

Sharing a client's identifying information and diagnosis in a social media post, even without using the client's name

Answer

HIPAA prohibits sharing protected health information (PHI) without client authorization, including on social media. Sharing identifying details even without a name can still constitute a HIPAA violation if the individual could be identified.

Question 4

What should an RBT do if they notice a discrepancy between the written behavior intervention plan and what the supervisor is verbally instructing them to do?

Accepted Answer

Document the discrepancy, raise it with the supervisor, and follow the written plan until formally updated

Answer

Written plans are the official record of approved procedures. Discrepancies should be raised with the supervisor and documented. The written plan should be followed until it is formally updated through appropriate channels.

Question 5

Which of the following is a required element of a complete session note in ABA?

Accepted Answer

The date, session duration, programs addressed, and client's behavioral data

Answer

A complete ABA session note should include the date, session time/duration, programs or targets addressed, and relevant behavioral data. These elements provide an accurate, auditable record of services delivered.
