|---|---|---|
| Is this an ethics violation? | ? | 2.02 – The trainee did not act in the client’s best interest when he took the client out alone |
| Was this response problematic with regard to professionalism or the client’s treatment program? |
Yes, it seems like this was not a skill that was to be worked on with this client. Seeing as they were in a community setting and not a controlled setting it would have been best to remove the client from the situation since this was not a skill that has been practiced in a controlled setting previously. |
The trainee took a risk by not intervening sooner and did not have a plan for how to respond when the behavior escalated. Most importantly, the trainee should not have been in the community alone with a client that responds to loud noises with behavioral escalations. |
| When/how might feedback be delivered by the supervisor? |
Immediately – this should not occur again |
Immediately to correct the error in judgement that lead to a safety risk for the client |
| What types of additional training might improve this trainee’s performance? |
How to handle problem behavior, when to reinforce –toleration |
Professional decision-making using practice scenarios; Review of safety procedures when working with clients who engage in SIB and safety on community outings |
