Answer:C
Social workers should refer clients to other professionals when the other
professionals' specialized knowledge or expertise is needed to serve clients fully (A);
when social workers believe that they are not being effective (B); and when social
workers believe reasonable progress with clients is being made, but that additional
service is required (D). The belief by other professionals that their services may be
more effective (C) is not proper justification for a referral.
A social worker is working with a second grade child who is having trouble staying in
her seat in the classroom. The social worker, in conjunction with the teacher,
indicates that the immediate objective is that the child "will remain seated after being
reminded to do so by the teacher while in the classroom." The social worker's
supervisor, after reviewing the objective, would judge it to be:
A.Adequate as it addresses the target problem
B.Inadequate as it puts too much responsibility on the teacher
C.Adequate since the teacher was involved in the process
D.Inadequate as it lacks some elements of a measurable objective -
Answer: D
When social workers are creating intervention plans, it is essential that goals are
written in observable and measurable terms. In this case vignette, the supervisor
would judge it to be inadequate because it does not indicate the length of time that
the child will be seated after being reminded or the time frame within which the
objective is to be achieved—both critical elements of a measurable objective.

psychological well-being of its members
C.Result in legal action such as arrests, fines, and/or civil penalties

A.Recognizing the next action to take when intervening in a situation
B.Helping to clarify the specific cause(s) of a problem
C.Identifying issues that need immediate attention
D.Distinguishing areas that require further inquiry -

was related to its use during assessment. As it is related to the delivery of service, A
is not an assessment task, but is instead required during planning or intervention.
According to Erikson, which of the following is seen as the last stage in psychosocial
development?
A.Ego integrity versus despair
B.Trust versus mistrust
C.Intimacy versus isolation
D.Autonomy versus shame and doubt -
Answer: A
According to Erikson, older adults begin to slow down and contemplate their
accomplishments. They assess whether they are satisfied with their life progression
and become depressed or distraught if they are not. This stage is known as ego
integrity versus despair. Trust versus mistrust occurs in the first year of life as infants
, learn whether the world is a place where their needs can be met. Intimacy versus
isolation happens in early adulthood, and autonomy versus shame and doubt is a
stage from ages 1 to 3 when children begin to explore the world on their own,
learning independence.

The psychological consequences of abuse and neglect include isolation, fear,
inability to trust, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. These
difficulties can lead to relationship problems and the possibility of antisocial
behavioral traits. Psychological abuse can, but does not always, happen at the same
time (comorbid) with physical abuse. The most evident signs are the behavioral
characteristics of victims.
