Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Documentation of the educationlearning process includes a summary of the learning need, the plan, the implementation of the plan, and the evaluation results. The evaluative statement is crucial and must show concrete evidence that demonstrates that learning has occurred. If the desired learning has not occurred, the notes should indicate how the problem was resolved. It is insufficient to document only what was taught; the charting must show evidence that the client or significant other has actually learned the material taught.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Negative reinforcement (criticism or punishment) is generally ineffective; undesirable behavior is usually best ignored. Behavior modification programs that reward desired behaviors and ignore undesired behaviors might be best for this client.
