Answer the 6 Advanced Questions

Answers and explanations will appear only after you click Submit Quiz.

1) A 17-year-old client says, “I am safe tonight, but I am afraid to go home because my uncle drinks and becomes violent.” What should the counsellor assess first while respecting confidentiality?

The client requests, “Please do not tell anyone. I only wanted to vent, not make this a big issue.”

2) A client says, “Do not write about my alcohol relapse; just write that I am stressed.” Which record-keeping response best supports ethical formulation?

The relapse appears linked with missed work, marital conflict and increased suicidal thoughts, but the client fears shame if it is written.

3) A counsellor notices a strong wish to rescue a client who repeatedly says, “Only you understand me.” What is the best ethical interpretation?

The counsellor starts extending sessions, waiving fees and thinking about the client between sessions more than usual.

4) In couple counselling, one partner privately reveals large hidden debts and asks the counsellor to keep it secret from the other partner. What should guide the counsellor’s next step?

The couple originally gave consent for joint sessions, but the counsellor did not clearly explain a “secrets policy” at intake.

5) A client’s stated goal is, “I want a certificate saying my workplace damaged my mental health.” What is the most ethical treatment-planning response?

The client reports anxiety and sleeplessness but has not completed assessment, and the counsellor has not spoken to the workplace or reviewed records.

6) A client with past self-harm says, “My sister is my strongest support, but do not contact her even if I become unsafe.” Which plan best balances autonomy and safety?

The client currently denies intent but reports escalating urges during night-time conflict and has access to blades at home.
