How the lesson starts

Safety at stake

Sometimes a client is at risk of harm during a session. That is a crisis, and it calls for a response planned ahead of time.

Before a crisis

A crisis may have warning signs. The client’s safety or crisis plan identifies behaviors that signal a crisis is near.

A planned response

The crisis plan also names the staff who carry out its procedures: people trained in the provider’s crisis procedures.

Follow protocol

A crisis develops during your session. You need to carry out the crisis procedures according to protocol. That is also what the competency assessment checks.

A question from this lesson

A restrictive procedure is in the client's plan. Your supervisor has not verified your competence. Can you implement it?

  1. Yes, because the documented plan includes it
  2. No, supervisor verification is also required
  3. Yes, if a coworker talks you through it
Show the answer

B. No, supervisor verification is also required. Supervisor verification is also required. The documented plan alone is not enough. A coworker talking you through the procedure does not replace your supervisor's verification of competence.
