A. Are more easily irritated, and annoyed by their children.
B. Know nothing about child development.
C. Are more permissive
D. Make more frequent use of physical punishment. - ANSWER Your Answer
should be A.
Despite a great amount of research in this area, only a few specific
characteristics have been found to distinguish abusive parents from non-abusive
parents. The research does indicate, however, that compared to non-abusive
parents, abusive parents tend to be more easily irritated and annoyed by their
children in part because they tend to misperceive their children's behaviours
negatively.
Therefore the best answer is A: More easily irritated and annoyed by their
children.

things the social workers are suppose to do with the client since this is
prerequisite to the client sharing information about himself base on informed
,consent. In this case, the social worker would subsequently reduce the students
tension, D, then explain the student's hostile feeling and investigate reasons for
fighting, C. After that, the social worker may have to intervene with school
administration for modification of the student school program, B.
Your answer to this question, therefore, should be, B. Discuss confidentiality

biological parents or legal guardian.
B. Placement consistent with the special needs o the child.
C. Provision of a detailed written case plan, and a case review at least every six
months.
D. A Permanency planning hearing as soon as the child is placed in foster care.
ANSWER Key (D) is correct: if you are familiar with the protections offer to
children in foster care, this question just requires your to read the choices
carefully. A permanency planning hearing must be held or the child within 12
, months of his or her initial placement or after a determination that reasonable
efforts to reunite the family are not required or have been unsuccessful.
Hence, the correct answer is: A permanency planning hearing as soon as the

A social worker working for a home health agency evaluates a client for
potential dementia. The client resides alone and receives services from a home
health aide. The nursing aide reports the client's cognitive functioning has
changed dramatically over the last few days. In addition, to being confused and
disoriented, the client also is unsteady when walking. Which of the following is
the FIRST action the social worker should take?
A. Refer the client for a battery of psychological tests.
B. Arrange a medical exam for the client as soon as possible.
C. Refer the client for adult care services.
D. Discuss possible care placement with the client - ANSWER Key (B). The
FIRST action the social should take is to investigate whether the symptoms
describe in this question have a neurological or organic basis. (key B). All of the
options are incorrect because A, psychological testing, ignores physical
symptoms and places the client at risk. Similarly, C, a referral for adult daycare,
places the client in a position for which they are not at risk. Also, discussing
placement options, D, places the client in a position to which they are not at
risk. Because these symptoms have been recent in their onset, action must be
taken immediately in order to rule out a medical condition. The correct answer,
therefore, is B: Arrange a medical exam or the client as soon as possible.
A couples infant has just been hospitalized with cystic fibrosis and has been
