A client may not choose to reveal _________ on an intake form.

• A. age
• B. name
• C. phone number
• D. medical history

Answer: (A)

The key idea is privacy and usefulness of information collected on an intake form. Names and phone numbers are needed to identify, contact, and maintain records for the client. Medical history is essential to assess safety and identify contraindications before any treatment. Age, however, is a demographic detail that isn’t required to provide most services, and clients may choose not to disclose it for privacy reasons. That’s why age is the most fitting choice: it’s the information that clients are most likely to withhold while other details are necessary for safe, organized care.
