Why is it important to make a new assessment and treatment plan for each session with a client?
What will be an ideal response?
A complete response should include these concepts:
• Assessment and planning for each session provides high quality documentation and records management.
• Assessment and planning for each session will provide a much clearer picture of the pathology and progress and will make therapy more effective.
• The client's condition will change between sessions. Any changes should be included in the records and be used to help formulate a new treatment plan, tailored to the client's current condition.
