dangerous.
B. Legitimizing the residents' concerns may be
helpful.
C. Helping residents start new relationships is
important.
D. Sharing leadership is very effective with groups.
- answer D. Legitimizing the residents' concerns
may be helpful.
By sharing leadership with the resident (key D),
the social worker is supporting the resident's skill
development as well as promoting positive group
dynamics. Options (A) and (B)
,draw conclusions without substantiated
information. While the potential for beginning new
relationships (C) exists, it is not the MOST likely
reason for the co-facilitation.

be beneficial. What should the social worker do
NEXT?
A. Advocate for the parents to keep the child at
home
B. Explore the reasons for the parents' beliefs
C. Obtain the child's perspective on the situation
D. Refer the parents and child for family therapy -
answer B. Explore the reasons for the parents'
beliefs
Before taking action, the social worker should
acknowledge and validate the parents' concerns
and explore the events and emotions that have led
to these
concerns (key B). Advocating that the child stay at
home (A) is not supported by the physician's
recommendation. Although the social worker may
eventually want to obtain the child's perspective
