Under the described procedures, a client is allowed to review:

• A. The client is allowed to review portions of the record
• B. The client may review the entire record
• C. The client may never view the record
• D. The client can review only with the director's approval

Answer: (A)

Access to a client’s own records is about supporting informed participation in care while protecting the privacy of others. Under the described procedures, the client may review portions of the record—specifically the parts that pertain to the client and do not disclose confidential information about other people. The sensitive or third‑party content can be redacted or withheld, so the client still gains access to the documentation about their treatment without exposing others’ details. This approach promotes transparency and autonomy, without overreaching into materials that must remain private. Requiring an external approval each time or denying access entirely wouldn’t align with the client’s rights or the goal of open communication about care.
