Discussion Post: Demonstrating Documentation Skills
For each scenario, consider what you would document in the case notes of the client. Read through each possible choice and choose which answer you feel best describes what you would write in their notes. After choosing your answers, read through the choices that you did not choose to see why they do not demonstrate objective documentation.
After reviewing the Demonstrating Documentation Skills document, write a one-page reflection on the process of objective writing in documentation. Include the following:
1) What observations from the exercise did you make related to documenting client interactions?
2) What is the role of objectivity in documentation?
3) For each scenario, write your own statement to include in the client's case notes as if you were the professional working with that client. Include possible resource ideas for future discussion with the client.
The response must include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
