Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B
Individual group member responses, such as the attainment of a goal, would be appropriately documented in an individual note. Group phenomena belong in the group session notes and include membership (absences, tardiness); pertinent behavior discussed by the group; group themes; important group process issues; and any critical leadership strategies required. The therapist also might predict future strategies and behaviors.
