    In order for a client to agree to services, he/she must have the capacity to give permission willingly.  This client right is called:

    • A.

      Comprehension of information

    • B.

      Informed consent

    • C.

It ensures that the client is fully aware of the nature, purpose, risks, and benefits of the services before making a decision. This allows the client to make an informed choice based on their own self-determination and understanding. Confidentiality, comprehension of information, and self-determination are related concepts but do not specifically address the client's right to give permission willingly, which is the essence of informed consent.

This includes the right to make mistakes, as individuals should have the freedom to learn from their errors and make choices without interference or coercion. Self-determination encompasses the idea that individuals have the autonomy to make choices that may not always be perfect or successful, but they have the right to learn and grow from these experiences.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a US law that protects the privacy and security of individuals' medical records, including mental health records. It ensures that healthcare providers and organizations maintain the confidentiality of patients' sensitive information and sets guidelines for the sharing and storage of medical data. Therefore, the statement that HIPAA is related to medical records but not mental health records is incorrect.

      Informed consent

    • C.

      Release of information

    • D.

      Privacy

    Correct Answer
    D. Privacy
    Explanation
    Privacy refers to the freedom of individuals to choose for themselves the time, circumstances, and extent of how their information is shared with others. It encompasses the right to keep personal information confidential and to have control over the dissemination of that information. Privacy is different from confidentiality, which specifically relates to the protection of sensitive information shared in a professional or confidential relationship. Informed consent and release of information are related concepts but do not encompass the broader idea of privacy.

    • C.

      Release of information

    • D.

      Privacy

    Correct Answer
    A. Confidentiality
    Explanation
    Confidentiality refers to the practice of keeping information shared by clients in a professional relationship private and secure. It ensures that the information disclosed remains confidential and is not shared with anyone else without the client's consent. This is an essential aspect of maintaining trust and building a safe environment for clients to share sensitive information. Informed consent, release of information, and privacy are related concepts but do not specifically address the protection of client information in the same way as confidentiality does.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    You can break confidentiality any time you have a good reason to do so.  

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Breaking confidentiality should only be done in exceptional circumstances where there is a legal or ethical obligation to do so, such as when there is a risk of harm to oneself or others. It is not appropriate to break confidentiality without a valid and justifiable reason. Therefore, the statement that you can break confidentiality any time you have a good reason to do so is false.

      When the client's identifying information is removed

    • C.

      Under no circumstances

    • D.

      With other human services professionals

    Correct Answer
    C. Under no circumstances
    Explanation
    A human services professional should never discuss details of a client's case on a social networking site, regardless of whether the client's identifying information is removed or the site is private. This is because social networking sites are not secure platforms for discussing sensitive client information, and there is always a risk of unauthorized access or breach of privacy. It is important for human services professionals to maintain confidentiality and protect the privacy of their clients, so discussing client cases on social networking sites should be avoided under all circumstances.

Crying through client meetings and exhibiting severe depression can hinder her ability to provide proper support and assistance to her clients. It is important for a human services worker to be emotionally stable and capable of handling the challenges of the job.

    Observing unethical behavior by another human services worker is a serious matter that should not be ignored. As a human services worker, it is our ethical responsibility to ensure the well-being and safety of the individuals we serve. By addressing our observations with the worker, we can potentially prevent harm and uphold the ethical standards of our profession. Ignoring or staying silent about unethical behavior would go against our duty to advocate for the welfare of those we serve. Therefore, it is true that it is our ethical responsibility to address such observations with the worker.

    The correct answer is to develop a system where each case of need was thoroughly investigated by "friendly visitors" so that the root cause of poverty could be determined and eliminated. This suggests that the Charity Organization Society aimed to understand the underlying reasons for poverty and address them directly, rather than simply providing temporary relief or perpetuating the idea of deserving and undeserving poor. By investigating each case, they could identify the root causes and work towards eliminating them, ultimately aiming to eradicate poverty.

    Correct Answer
    C. Food baskets and medicine in the home environment of the person in need.
    Explanation
    Outdoor relief refers to the provision of assistance, such as food baskets and medicine, to individuals in need within their own homes. This means that instead of receiving aid in institutionalized settings like almshouses or in agricultural environments, the support is delivered directly to the person's residence. This type of relief aims to help individuals who are unable to meet their basic needs by providing essential supplies and medical assistance within the comfort of their own home environment.

      Individuals should be allowed to move to a new community in order to seek financial assistance.

    Correct Answer
    C. Poor relief should be handled at the local level, preferably by families.
    Explanation
    The driving principle of the English Poor Laws of 1601 was that poor relief should be handled at the local level, preferably by families. This means that the responsibility for providing assistance to the poor rested with the local communities, rather than the government or individuals seeking financial assistance elsewhere. The aim was to ensure that the support was provided within the community and that families were primarily responsible for taking care of their own members in need.
