Accepted Answer

Knowing who owns the problem allows us to understand who is ultimately responsible for resolving the problem. This is important for effective problem-solving and ensuring that the client receives appropriate care. It does not make us seem uncaring or abandon the client with the problem, and taking charge of the client's care should be done collaboratively with appropriate stakeholders.

Accepted Answer

As a language model AI, I cannot provide advice, but the best choice is to listen, provide resources and help the client arrive at a solution. It's important to understand the client's needs and concerns and offer support, rather than simply solving the problem for them or expecting them to solve it on their own. By providing resources and guidance, the client can reach a solution that works for them and feel empowered and supported throughout the process.

Question 6

A 17-year-old single mother of a severely disabled child has been disowned by her family and seeks help sorting out her situation:&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;The case manager owns the problem because the client is too young to make decisions for herself&#10;B) &#8203;Both the client and case manager own the problem, but because the client is too young to make decisions for her life, the case manager is ultimately responsible for finding a solution&#10;C) &#8203;The client owns the problem, but the case manager needs to take the reins in finding a solution in consultation with the client&#10;D) &#8203;The client owns the problem and must take the reins in finding a solution to her problem despite her youth

Accepted Answer

The client ultimately owns the problem since it is her life and situation, but the case manager needs to take an active role in finding a solution in consultation with the client. As a minor, the client may need additional support and guidance in making decisions, but the goal should still be to empower her to take ownership of her life and find a solution that works for her and her child.

Question 7

The strategy behind determining the level of intervention we provide to the client is based on:&#8203;&#10;A) &#8203;Consultation with the client's family and close associates&#10;B) &#8203;Knowing your own level of professional training&#10;C) &#8203;The need to solve the client's problem&#10;D) &#8203;Knowing the client's strengths and limitations

Accepted Answer

To determine the level of intervention, it is important to know the client's strengths and limitations so that an appropriate and effective intervention plan can be created. Consultation with the client's family and close associates can provide additional insights, but it is not the sole basis for determining the level of intervention. Professional training is important, but it is not the only factor to consider. The main goal of intervention is to address the client's problem and improve their overall well-being, but this is not the only factor to consider either.

Accepted Answer

The clinician's goal should be to empower the client to exercise self-determination and independence. The therapist should facilitate the client's process of finding their own solution instead of providing the solution themselves. This promotes the client's autonomy and self-efficacy.
