Question 2

The human service professional needs to develop networks primarily to

Developing networks is crucial for human service professionals to effectively link clients to services. Building relationships with other service providers in the community allows for a more comprehensive and efficient delivery of services to clients. While understanding social service legislation and describing the community service umbrella may be important components of a human service professional's role, they are not the primary purpose for developing networks. Monitoring the social control process may be relevant in certain contexts, but it is not directly related to the development of networks.

B)increase in independence
C)increase in responsibility

Moving clients to self-sufficiency would not necessarily directly lead to an increase in family harmony. While it may indirectly contribute to it, the main goals of self-sufficiency are to increase self-esteem, independence, and responsibility.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

The primary beneficiary of teaming in human services is the client.

This can lead to better outcomes for the client and a more efficient use of resources.

Which one of these client populations receives help that functions as social control?
A)AIDS patients
B)abused women
C)unruly children

Unruly children often receive help in the form of discipline and behavior modification, which functions as a means of social control to promote obedience and conformity. The other client populations listed receive help for health or safety concerns, not for social control.

A new way that human service agencies relate to each other is by
A)establishing partnerships to share staff
B)developing agreements to loan money and other resources
C)negotiating their commitments to the community
D)combining resources to serve clients better

Accepted Answer

Combining resources to serve clients better is a new way that human service agencies relate to each other. This approach allows agencies to pool their resources and expertise, resulting in an effective and efficient service delivery system. It also helps to avoid duplication of services and ensures that clients receive the best possible care.

D)describes how all cultures are similar

Accepted Answer

The interdisciplinary nature of human services refers to the combination of multiple fields and perspectives to address the needs of individuals, groups, and families. This approach allows for new and diverse perspectives that can be applied to human services. Therefore, choice B is the best answer as it highlights how this interdisciplinary approach provides new perspectives. While choice C is also true, it only covers a small aspect of the interdisciplinary nature of human services, making it a less comprehensive answer. Choices A and D are both incorrect as they do not accurately describe the interdisciplinary nature of human services.

Question 10

In the last half of this century,human services have developed in response to which of the following problems?
A)stress in today's world
B)today's music as an indication of our acceptance of violence
C)more children now attending private schools
D)the growth of our dependence on the internet

Accepted Answer

The question is asking about human services, which typically refer to social and welfare services aimed at helping people in need. Therefore, options B, C, and D are not relevant. Option A, stress in today's world, is a well-known problem that has led to the development of various human services such as counseling, therapy, and stress management programs.

D)gather information,make assessments,and monitor services

Accepted Answer

Gathering information, making assessments, and monitoring services are key activities of a case manager, as they are responsible for the overall coordination and management of a client's care plan. Establishing teams and supervising professionals falls more under the role of a manager or supervisor, while meeting and counseling families would be done by a therapist or social worker. Testing clients and writing reports may be part of an assessment, but not necessarily a case manager's specific role.

Question 12

Rehabilitation is relevant when

B)a client loses her children in a custody battle
C)a client is diagnosed with AIDS
D)a client is injured in an automobile accident

Accepted Answer

Rehabilitation is typically necessary when a client has suffered physical, mental, or emotional injuries as a result of an accident, injury, or illness, such as an auto accident. The purpose of rehabilitation is to help the individual regain function and independence as much as possible, and to improve their overall quality of life. While issues such as fights with parents or custody battles can certainly be traumatic and challenging, they may not necessarily require rehabilitation services. Similarly, a diagnosis of AIDS may require medical treatment and support services, but may not necessarily require rehabilitation services.

Question 15

The goal of case management is
A)to learn how to balance a large caseload
B)to provide short- or long-term care when needed
C)to become an organized professional
D)to develop good outcome evaluations

Accepted Answer

The goal of case management is to provide short- or long-term care when needed, which is the best description of the options given. The other options are related to skills and strategies that can be used in case management, but they are not the primary goal.

Question 16

Today the new meaning for the human service generalist is
A)a professional who works with a specific discipline such as psychology or psychiatry
B)a professional who works with the client using both the micro and macro perspective
C)a professional who works with the client using the micro perspective
D)a professional who works with a specific client group

Accepted Answer

The new meaning for the human service generalist is a professional who works with the client using both the micro and macro perspective. This means that they are able to not only work with individuals on a one-on-one basis (micro perspective), but also understand and address larger systemic issues that affect the client's well-being (macro perspective). This broader approach allows for a more holistic and effective approach to helping clients in a range of areas, including mental health, addiction, healthcare, and social services.

B)Other helpers work side by side with human service workers.
C)According to many social service providers,the work of the human service professional is essential.
D)The human service worker is the mental health specialist.

Accepted Answer

The statement "The human service worker is the mental health specialist" is not accurate. Human service workers may work with individuals who have mental health needs, but they are not necessarily the only professionals who specialize in this area.

Question 18

Which one of the following skills best helps the human service professional understand the client's environment?
A)listening
B)report writing
C)problem solving
D)advising

Accepted Answer

Listening skills are essential for human service professionals to understand the client's environment. By listening actively and attentively, the professional can gather important information about the client's situation, including their living conditions, social support network, and other contextual factors that may impact their well-being. This information helps the professional tailor their interventions and treatments to better meet the client's needs and promote positive outcomes. While report writing, problem-solving, and advising skills are also important for human service professionals, they do not necessarily facilitate understanding of the client's environment in the same way that listening does.

Question 19

A growing trend to provide effective services is
A)advocacy
B)case management
C)evidence-based practice
D)generalist practice

Accepted Answer

Evidence-based practice is a growing trend in the field of human services. This involves using the most up-to-date research and data to inform service delivery and ensure that interventions are effective. By basing practice on evidence, human service professionals can provide the most beneficial and efficient services to their clients. Advocacy, case management, and generalist practice are also important approaches in the field but may not necessarily be as directly tied to effectiveness as evidence-based practice.

Question 20

"Problems in living" refers to
A)problems that overwhelm the client
B)problems that require the help of several professionals
C)problems that are related to the life cycle
D)problems that resulted from the economic downturn

Accepted Answer

"Problems in living" typically refers to difficulties that individuals face related to their life circumstances, such as relationships, finances, housing, and employment. These may be common challenges that people experience at different stages of the life cycle, such as adjusting to marriage, parenting, retirement, or illness. While these issues may cause distress and require support, they may not necessarily be overwhelming or require the involvement of multiple professionals. They are also not necessarily tied to a specific economic event or downturn.
