• A. Participation in unapproved facilities
• B. Only board-approved treatment facilities or therapists can be used for participation
• C. Informed consent for records
• D. Prescription drugs for legitimate medical purpose

Answer: (B)

Participation in treatment or training must occur only at facilities or with therapists that the licensing board has approved. This standard ensures a consistent level of care, proper supervision, and adherence to ethical and professional guidelines. When a facility or supervisor is board-approved, you can rely on established criteria for qualifications, confidentiality, record-keeping, and client safety, and you can count those hours toward credentialing requirements. Using unapproved facilities means there may be insufficient supervision, unclear or unsafe practices, and the hours may not be accepted for licensure or certification, which could jeopardize your ability to practice.
