12.. Name the Standards of the NASW Code of Ethics relevant to the following scenario. Include both the name and standard with decimal point.

A social worker in a rural community with limited mental health care services is consulted on a client with agoraphobia, an anxiety disorder involving a fear of open and public spaces. Since this problem is outside of the clinician’s knowledge and experience, agreeing to work with the client could be a violation of Ethical Standard __.__.However, because of the limited options for treatment and the client`s discomfort in being too far from home, the client might not receive any services if the social worker declined to treat him. Denying to see the patient then would be potentially in conflict with Ethical Standard___.

13. This situation in which two standards are in conflict is called a/an _____________________.

Read the case studies below and respond to the questions.

14. The client is 57-year-old gentleman with aggressive prostate cancer. After several surgeries and exhaustive chemo and radiation treatment, he was advised by the medical team that any further surgical/medical intervention would not be appropriate and that a palliative care regimen was the next step. At this point the patient reported to the health care team that he had resigned himself to the fact that he was going to die. He confided to the social worker that he planned to kill himself and that this was a secret he told her because he trusted her.

What ethical standards are involved in this scenario?

15. Ethically Sound Decision Making Requires Critical Thinking. (see text and slide # 12 of Ethics in Social Work ppt on Module 3). Read the following case study and answer the question that follows.

The social worker was called to the emergency department of a medical center. A two year old was being examined for respiratory distress caused from bronchitis. The parents were Vietnamese and spoke little English. The physician was concerned because of red marks the size of quarters on the child’s back. Based on this finding, the worker decided that the child should be placed in foster care pending an investigation. Before this action was taken, however, the social work supervisor was consulted. Upon closer observation, the supervisor noted that the child was well nourished and seemed to have a healthy attachment to both parents who handled the child in a nurturing, affectionate manner. She sat down with the parents and communicated through gestures and limited conversation that she was interested in their story about the child’s condition. Meanwhile, she sent for a Vietnamese interpreter who was able to translate that the quarter sized marks on the child’s back resulted from folk treatment in which metal (quarters in this case) were warmed and applied to the back of the person with a bad cough, helping to loosen the phlegm in the person’s chest. The result was a first degree burn like that of a mild sunburn.

Question: Name any of the five aspects of critical thinking that were missing in the decision-making process of the first social worker who made the assessment of child abuse. As stated above, describe briefly to demonstrate your understanding.

16. The class discussed the Tarasoff Case using the power point “Duty to Warn” on Module 3. Describe how the therapist followed the “Duty to Warn” legal duty. If the therapist had followed the “Duty to Protect” principle, what additional action would he have performed?
