Free RBT Practice Questions: Documentation and Reporting Domain

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: The RBT Task List requires objective, behavior-specific documentation that matches the definitions in the behavior plan. Option C is correct because it describes exactly what Sam did in observable terms (ripped 3 pages, knocked over a chair once) and links it to the plan’s definition of property destruction, including the total count. Option A is incorrect because ‘very destructive’ and ‘seemed angry’ are vague and partly based on interpretation. Option B is incomplete because it gives the total count but not the specific, observable examples, which are helpful for clarity. Option D is incorrect because it uses non-specific language (‘rough day,’ ‘multiple problem behaviors’) and does not clearly describe or quantify the target behavior.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: The RBT Task List emphasizes objective, observable, and measurable documentation. Option C is correct because it clearly states the antecedent (asked to clean up toys), the observable behavior (screamed loudly), and the approximate duration (about 4 minutes), without guessing about Ava’s feelings or motives. A is incorrect because it assumes a function (‘tried to get out of the task’) and emotional state (‘mad’), which are interpretations, not observations. B is incorrect because ‘very upset’ and ‘meltdown’ are vague and not operationally defined. D is incorrect because terms like ‘noncompliance’ and ‘emotional dysregulation’ are more interpretive and less observable than describing exactly what Ava did and for how long.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: RBTs must provide clear, objective, and complete information when reporting to supervisors. Option C describes the antecedent (schedule change), the behavior (crying and screaming), and the approximate duration (10 minutes), and notes that the plan procedures were used. This matches the RBT Task List expectations for accurate reporting and documentation of significant events. A and B are incorrect because they use vague, subjective terms ('dramatic,' 'meltdown,' 'not a big deal') and do not give clear, measurable information. D is incorrect because it does not provide enough detail and shows poor recall of important information that should have been noted during or right after the event.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: RBTs must follow organizational policies and maintain accurate, honest documentation. Option B is correct because it follows policy, keeps documentation objective and accurate, and maintains professional boundaries, as required in the RBT Task List. Option A is incorrect because it fails to complete required documentation and allows someone else to control your clinical record. Option C is unethical because it involves signing your name to documentation you did not write. Option D is also inappropriate because intentionally vague notes do not meet documentation standards and invite alteration.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: The RBT Task List emphasizes accurate data collection and honest reporting. Data should never be guessed or fabricated. - Option C is correct because it keeps the data honest and transparent. The RBT reports that the exact count was missed and documents that the data are incomplete, which maintains data integrity. - Option A is incorrect because leaving it blank without explanation hides important information and is not accurate reporting. - Option B is incorrect because estimating and recording it as data is still inaccurate and misleading, even with a note. - Option D is incorrect because using an average from previous sessions is fabricating data and does not reflect what actually happened today.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: The RBT Task List requires accurate data collection and honest reporting. When data are incomplete, the RBT should still record what was actually observed and clearly note any issues with data accuracy. Option C does this by reporting the counted hits and documenting that some were missed. A is incorrect because guessing or estimating data is dishonest and makes the data unreliable. B is incorrect because it hides an error and does not communicate a limitation of the data. D is incorrect because some accurate data are better than none, as long as the limitation is documented.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation: The RBT Task List requires reporting and documenting significant events, especially those involving safety. Option A includes an objective description (what the child did, where, when, what the RBT did) and follows agency procedures for incident reporting, which is essential even when there is no injury. B is incorrect because verbal reporting alone is not enough; written documentation is required. C is incorrect because it is vague and uses non-specific language ('escape') without clear, observable details. D is incorrect because safety incidents must be reported even if no injury occurs, so that the team can address the risk.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: RBT Task List 2.0 (Documentation and Reporting) includes maintaining accurate and complete data and notes. Sometimes, corrections are needed. Option C is correct because it: - Makes the data more accurate by including the missed response. - Clearly documents that one data point was added later from memory, which is honest and transparent. Option A is incorrect because knowingly leaving out a correct data point makes the data inaccurate. Option B is incorrect because changing data without noting the late entry can make the record misleading and less trustworthy. Option D is incorrect because erasing all data increases the risk of more errors and is unnecessary. Only the specific correction is needed. Domain: Documentation and Reporting

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: RBT Task List 2.0 (Documentation and Reporting) requires objective, clear, and complete session notes based on defined behaviors and collected data. - **B is correct** because it reports the number of tantrums that met the operational definition and includes objective details (start and end times). This matches the data you collected and avoids opinions. - **A is incorrect** because it uses vague, subjective language ("very difficult day," "extremely upset") and does not include specific, measurable information. - **C is incorrect** because it focuses on guessing the cause of the behavior ("probably tired and frustrated") instead of reporting observable facts. RBTs should avoid speculation in documentation. - **D is incorrect** because it includes your opinion about the effectiveness of the plan. RBTs should report data and observations, not make treatment recommendations or judge the plan.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation: The RBT Task List emphasizes accurate data collection and clear documentation of any irregularities. Option A is correct because it preserves accurate data, clearly marks where it belongs, and notes the issue so the supervisor can fix the data sheet. Option B is incorrect because it results in missing data and hides a problem with materials. Option C is inappropriate because discarding original data sheets can interfere with data integrity and should not be done without direction. Option D is incorrect because it falsifies data by recording it under the wrong target, which is unethical and violates accurate reporting requirements.
