Which of the following is a client responsibility?

A client's responsibility includes arriving on time to appointments. This is important because timely attendance shows respect for the professional’s time and allows for a more effective session. Being punctual ensures that the assessment or treatment can proceed as scheduled and that both the client and the assessor can maximize the time allocated for discussion and intervention. When a client arrives late, it can disrupt the flow of the session, reduce the time available for addressing important issues, and potentially interfere with the schedule of other clients.

In contrast, disregarding other clients' confidentiality, failing to pay for services, and providing false information do not fall under client responsibilities as they demonstrate a lack of professionalism and can hinder the overall process of assessment and treatment. Safeguarding confidentiality is crucial in a therapeutic setting, and financial responsibilities are typically the obligations of the service provider in terms of billing processes. Providing inaccurate information can lead to miscommunication and ineffective support, which is counterproductive in assessing and addressing a client’s needs.
