Which item is commonly documented in a progress note?

• A. Client relationships with siblings
• B. Allergies to food
• C. Goals, interventions, outcomes, and risk assessment
• D. Personal phone numbers of staff

Answer: (C)

Progress notes should capture how a client is progressing in treatment by recording goals, the interventions used, the outcomes observed, and any risk assessment or safety planning. This combination provides a clear, actionable record for the care team to track progress and coordinate next steps with the peer support focus. Relationships with siblings are typically explored in intake or case history rather than as ongoing progress indicators. Food allergies belong in medical or intake sections to ensure safety, not as progress measures. Personal staff phone numbers are confidential and not documented in progress notes because they don’t reflect progress or safety needs.
