Situational problems refer to issues that arise from external events, such as a job change, natural disasters, and accidents.

Therefore, the best choice for the given scenario is option B.

Question 4

Within the hierarchy of needs,security needs are represented by
A)having three good meals each day
B)having a family
C)having shelter
D)having friendships

Accepted Answer

Security needs refer to the basic human needs for safety, stability, and protection. Shelter falls under this category, as it provides a safe and stable place for individuals and families to live. While having three good meals each day and having friendships are important, they fall under the categories of physiological and belonging needs, respectively. Having a family can also fall under belonging needs, but it can also provide a sense of security for some individuals. However, out of the options given, having shelter is the best representation of a security need within the hierarchy of needs.

Question 7

Violent crime is considered a situational crisis because
A)this is an event that an individual can talk about in great detail
B)this is a situation that the individual has caused
C)this is a situation with a clearly focused problem
D)this is a situation that will happen to most individuals

Accepted Answer

Violent crime is considered a situational crisis because it is a situation with a clearly focused problem, such as physical harm, fear, and trauma, that occurs suddenly and unexpectedly. The individual is the victim of this crisis, rather than the cause, and may have difficulty coping with the psychological and emotional effects. Talking about the event in detail may be part of the healing process, but it is not what defines a situational crisis. It is also not something that will happen to most individuals, as many people may go their whole lives without experiencing violent crime.

Question 8

Central to understanding who a client is and what problems are encountered is the idea that
A)everyone is a client
B)problems are a normal part of life
C)resources are critical for success
D)the support network must be utilized

Accepted Answer

The statement "problems are a normal part of life" implies that everyone encounters problems, which means that everyone can potentially be a client. However, it does not necessarily mean that everyone is always a client. The other options (C and D) are also important in understanding clients, but they do not capture the essence of who a client is and what problems are encountered. Therefore, the best choice is B.

Question 9

A perspective that challenges power is
A)Maslow's hierarchy
B)developmental in growth patterns
C)the feminist perspective
D)gang-related theory

Accepted Answer

The feminist perspective challenges power by examining and criticizing the ways in which gender roles, patriarchy, and misogyny contribute to inequality and oppression. It involves addressing issues such as gender-based violence, unequal pay, and limited representation in positions of power. Maslow's hierarchy and developmental growth patterns are not necessarily focused on power dynamics, and while gang-related theory may involve power struggles within a gang, it does not have a broader focus on challenging systems of power and oppression.

Question 10

How clients view their situations and what they perceive to be problems are important factors in
A)problem identification
B)denial
C)motivation
D)referral

Accepted Answer

Clients' perceptions and views of their situations are crucial in identifying the root of the problem. Understanding their perspective can guide mental health professionals in developing effective interventions and treatment plans.

Question 11

According to Maslow's theory,since needs exist in a hierarchy,
A)basic needs must be met before higher order needs can be addressed
B)children in war need shelter before food and rest
C)child abuse first endangers belonging needs
D)self-actualization is not good for everyone

Accepted Answer

Maslow's theory suggests that basic needs (such as physiological needs) must be satisfied before higher order needs (such as self-actualization) can be addressed. This is because higher order needs are dependent on lower order needs. For example, a person cannot focus on creativity and personal growth if they are hungry and lack shelter.

Question 12

To understand gangs as a larger client group we might think about all EXCEPT
A)society
B)the community
C)the neighborhood
D)the gang member

Accepted Answer

The question asks for which option is NOT a part of the larger client group of gangs. A, B, and C are all valid options as society, community, and neighborhood can all be affected by gang activity. Therefore, D is the correct answer as gang members themselves are a part of the gang and cannot be considered a larger client group of the gang.

Question 13

The human service professional in charge of housing services serves the whole person by
A)providing the client with housing
B)providing housing although the client asked for counseling
C)providing housing and noting client needs
D)providing a referral to another agency

Accepted Answer

Providing housing alone may not be sufficient to address the various needs of the client. A human service professional in charge of housing services should also take into account the client's other needs and provide referrals or connect the client with other services that can address their needs. Therefore, providing housing and noting client needs is the best choice.

B)What is the stereotype of this group?

Question 15

Many of the homeless are currently
A)individuals who want to live in the cities
B)temporarily homeless
C)individuals who want to live on the streets
D)dually diagnosed mentally and physically ill

Accepted Answer

According to various studies, a significant portion of the homeless population is temporarily homeless, meaning they experience homelessness for short periods due to factors such as job loss, eviction, or financial difficulties. This suggests that homelessness is not always a permanent or fixed state, and there are opportunities to provide support and assistance to individuals and families to prevent or end homelessness.

Question 16

A wellness model to understand a client is the
A)Individual Self
B)feminist perspective
C)Indivisible Self
D)ego development theory

Accepted Answer

The Indivisible Self wellness model was developed by Larry Green and suggests that individuals are multi-dimensional and interconnected beings who are influenced by their physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual dimensions. This model helps practitioners to understand their clients in a holistic way, looking at how these different dimensions of their being interact with each other to affect overall wellness.

A)focus on basic health and safety needs
B)result in a variety of feelings
C)person is often a victim

A)what the client will need for prenatal care
B)what the client will experience as a problem
C)how the problem influences culture
D)how the person will use resources
