How the lesson starts
Your client data describe what happened during a session. When those records do not match what happened, the data are inaccurate.
You also carry out procedures during the session. Procedural fidelity means how closely your implementation follows the procedure, rather than how you record it.
Your supervisor can review your data sheets and daily progress notes during supervision. What you document is part of what they can review.
You record a response the client never made. That entry does not accurately describe the session. Your responsibility is to complete client data accurately.

- Only your services
- Only your records
- Your services and records
Show the answer
A. Only your services. Only your services were accurate. You must follow supervisor directions, implement services accurately, and complete documentation accurately. Following directions does not excuse inaccurate client data.
