NOT a core component of a treatment planning meeting with a client?

• A. Review assessment results
• B. Assign responsibilities
• C. Set timelines
• D. Conduct a physical examination

Answer: (D)

Treatment planning meetings focus on turning assessment information into a coordinated plan of action. The main tasks are to review assessment results so you understand the client’s needs, assign responsibilities so it’s clear who does what, and set timelines with specific milestones to track progress. Conducting a physical examination is a medical procedure performed by a physician or other medical professional and isn’t a standard part of counseling-focused treatment planning. Medical findings can influence the plan, but the physical exam itself isn’t something done during the planning meeting. If medical issues arise, they’re typically handled through separate medical evaluations rather than as part of the treatment planning session.
