patient that occurred prior to the interaction that may affect the interaction.
Description of the client’s appearance and affect.
Measureable (SMART) goals – Prior to meeting with a client for whom a process recording will be
completed, the student must create at least two measureable (SMART) goals for the interaction.

effective analyze communication techniques for at least 10 exchanges and be competent in analysis with
documenting the rational for the technique and analysis for use. Include introduction and how conversation ended
in the recording as two of the 10 exchanges. Students will utilize textbook using Table 8-2 and 8-3 to
identify/analyze.

the interactions, techniques used and goals. The summary should be at least a paragraph and should include:
Did the process recording assignment assist the student in the development of practice skills and
application of knowledge to practice? Why or why not?
Did the student meet the SMART goals established at the start of the assignment? How was the goal
met?

and/or address issues? Give specific examples .
