Which set of documents are used to record counseling results?

• A. Inmate Background Summary Data, Inmate Summary Report, and Summary Continuation Sheet
• B. Parole plan, risk assessment, case file
• C. Medical record, incident log, progress notes
• D. Education records, work history, personal statements

Answer: (A)

Recording counseling results hinges on keeping a cohesive set of inmate records that tie initial background, overall progress, and ongoing session details together. The Inmate Background Summary Data captures the inmate’s starting information used to shape counseling. The Inmate Summary Report provides a snapshot of overall counseling progress and outcomes up to now. The Summary Continuation Sheet then serves as the ongoing log for each counseling session, noting results, actions taken, and planned next steps. Taken as a group, these documents are the standard way to document counseling results in the inmate’s file. The other options revolve around parole planning and risk assessments, medical or incident data, or education/work history, which don’t specifically document counseling outcomes in the same integrated manner.
