CPLEE PsychPrep Materials- Questions andAnswers
Right of accounting Correct Ans-Patients have the right to receive an accounting of all the
disclosures of their PHI for the past six years. This accounting must include information about
the date of the disclosure, the party to whom the information was disclosed, and a description
of what was disclosed and for what purpose. Written authorizations by the patient may be used
in lieu of such an accounting procedure.
Dereliction of duty directly causing damages Correct Ans-A malpractice lawsuit can be
thought of as based on the four D's
Dereliction Correct Ans-means that the therapist failed to provide care that is reasonable
(i.e., negligence).
Duty Correct Ans-means that the therapist had a legal relationship with the patient that gave
rise to a duty (e.g., we have no duty to people we meet at a party); also called breach of duty.
Directly causing damages Correct Ans-the negligence of the therapist was the cause of some
sort of harm to the patient.
Reasonable Correct Ans-is defined as "the prevailing professional judgment of psychologists
engaged in similar activities in similar circumstances, given the knowledge the psychologist had
or should have had at the time."
,BENEFICENCE AND NONMALEFICENCE Correct Ans-Psychologists aim "to benefit those with
whom they work and take care to do no harm." They safeguard the welfare and rights of the
people they interact with professionally as well as the welfare of animals used in research. They
attempt to resolve conflicts among their professional obligations in a responsible manner that
minimizes harm. They guard against the misuse of their influence. They are aware of how their
own physical and mental health may affect their capacity to help others.
FIDELITY AND RESPONSIBILITY Correct Ans-recognizes that "psychologists establish
relationships of trust with those with whom they work." Psychologists should be aware of their
responsibilities to these people and should uphold professional standards. Toward this end,
psychologists are encouraged to clarify their roles, manage conflicts of interest that may cause
harm, and consult and cooperate with other professionals. Psychologists should be concerned
with the ethical compliance of others. Finally, psychologists are encouraged to contribute some
of their professional services for little or no compensation.
INTEGRITY Correct Ans-In all their professional activities, psychologists should promote
"accuracy, honesty, and truthfulness" and should avoid all fraudulent activities. Commitments
and promises should be made carefully and then upheld. Although ethically permissible in
certain situations, deception should be used only with great care.
JUSTICE Correct Ans-This principle recognizes that all persons should benefit from the
contributions of psychology and should be treated with equal quality in all psychological
activities. It enjoins psychologists to ensure that their own biases and limitations of competence
do not result in unjust practices.
, Respect for rights and dignity Correct Ans-includes respect for the rights of privacy,
confidentiality, and self- determination. Psychologists should recognize and respect differences
among persons based on age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin,
religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, and socioeconomic status. Psychologists should
also consider these factors when providing psychological services. Furthermore, psychologists
should try to eliminate the effect of biases based on these factors, both in their own work and
in the work of others.
Consultations Correct Ans-appropriate when psychologists are somewhat familiar with
treating a particular disorder but are not an expert in that area, or when psychologists have
concerns about whether they can remain objective in treating a client.
Supervision Correct Ans-might be required when psychologists are applying a newly learned
technique such as hypnosis or biofeedback, beginning to work with a specialized population
such as the hearing-impaired, or treating a client with a disorder the psychologist has training
in, but no clinical experience (e.g., Bulimia Nervosa). Typically is sought when psychologists are
not yet ready to practice independently in the area or with the new population.
Training Correct Ans-vital when psychologists are unfamiliar with a certain area of
knowledge; usually followed by supervised experience prior to practicing independently.
Referring out Correct Ans-would be appropriate in the following situations: a) the therapist's
personal beliefs and issues interfere with the therapy; b) the client feels uncomfortable with the
therapist; or c) the therapist lacks competence in treating the presenting problem.
