Which statement best describes the fourth goal in program referrals?

• A. Identify which program referrals to make
• B. Correctly Excusing program referrals
• C. Identify when to make and create program referrals
• D. Ensure attendance to program referrals

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that the fourth goal focuses on ensuring the client attends the referred programs. It’s not enough to know what to refer to or when to refer; the real measure of success is the client actually showing up and engaging with the services. Ensuring attendance means coordinating with providers, scheduling, sending reminders, and removing barriers like transportation or scheduling conflicts, so participation is feasible and consistent.

This emphasis on attendance underscores accountability and continuity of support, which are essential for the referrals to have any real impact. The other options describe identifying what to refer or when to refer, or describe an action that isn’t aligned with the outcome-focused aim of this goal, so they don’t capture what the fourth goal is aiming to achieve.
