You are asked by the court to evaluate a 70-year old woman to
help determine her competence. She is apparently disoriented
and confused and has substantial memory loss. You have
recently taken a weekend workshop on the use of a new
computerized assessment technique for people with symptoms
like those exhibited by this woman, and you feel this method of
assessment would be especially valid in this situation. Further,
you had taken the workshop specifically because you want to
expand your practice by being qualified to conduct competency-
related evaluations for the court. Your best course of action
would be to:
a) use the program to assess the woman
b) use the program to assess the woman but, when testifying in
court, discuss the potential limitations of your conclusions
c) use the program to assess the woman but confirm your
conclusions before testifying by consulting with the developer
of the assessment technique
d)
✓✓ d) refer the woman to someone who is more familiar with
this type of evaluation
