conversation. What stage of group formation is the group most likely in?
,A. Forming
B. Storming
C. Norming
D. Performing - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The correct answer is B: Storming. During
this stage it is common for subgroups to emerge, like the one approaching
the leader.
A social worker has been meeting with a client for two years who is about
to graduate from college and move back to her home state. The client
wishes to continue therapy with the social worker via teletherapy. The
social worker is only licensed in the state the social worker resides. What is
the FIRST thing the social worker should do?
A. Decline to provide teletherapy because it is illegal to do so across state
lines.
B. Determine whether the social worker's state board allows teletherapy
across state lines.
C. Determine whether the state board of the client's residence allows
teletherapy across state lines.
,D.Continue to provide therapy due to the longstanding relationship
established between therapist and client. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The correct
answer is B: to determine whether the social worker's state board allows
teletherapy across state lines. If they do, then we could do C after this (if
the social worker's state board does not allow this, then there would be no
need to do C, which is why we would do B first). A is incorrect because that
is not a true statement as some states do allow this. D is similarly incorrect
because it does not acknowledge the fact that some states do not allow
teletherapy across state lines. (Even if there is a longstanding relationship).
A social worker meets with a 22-year-old woman who reports she is
experiencing increased feelings of anxiety, agitation, and irritability. What

B. Refer the client for a psychiatric evaluation
C. Complete a biopsychosocial assessment
D. Refer the client for a medical evaluation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The correct
answer is D, to refer the client for a medical evaluation. The client reports
increased feelings of anxiety, agitation, and irritability. Before doing
anything else, we want to discuss the need for a medical evaluation to rule

, out a possibly underlying medical reason for her condition. While we aren't
expected to know any and every medical condition, we are expected to
know that a medical referral for new symptoms is best practice. A is outside
of our scope of practice; it wouldn't be our job to consider this specific
medical diagnosis, but to refer her to someone who can rule out this and
any other underlying biological cause for her symptoms. B is incorrect,
because while at some point we may make a referral to a psychiatrist for
medication, it is not what we would do FIRST. C could occur after we do D.
All of the following statements describe defense mechanisms EXCEPT:
A. Conscious behavior used by the client to protect the client from the
influence of the therapist.
B. Justifying actions or thoughts to make them seem acceptable when
unconsciously they are not.
C. Rejecting or attributing unacceptable aspects of one's personality to
another individual.
D. The process of protecting oneself from anxiety, feelings of guilt, or
undesirable thoughts. - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The best answer here would be A.
If we look at the definition provided above we notice that B, C, and D all
incorporate various aspects of defense mechanisms. On the other hand, A
