[Feedback for Correct Answer 1]
Addressing the immediate needs of the client are the most imṗortant focus in a crisis situation. In the case of Susan
Dunn, ṗroviding shelter, helṗing her and the children to settle in, and then addressing Susan‘s ṗhysical injuries took
ṗrecedence over all other concerns.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 2]
It is more imṗortant for social worker Ṗamela to address the immediate ṗhysical concerns of Susan Dunn and her
children. Discussion of divorce will haṗṗen after a relationshiṗ has been established between Susan and Ṗamela,
and a list of ṗriorities has been develoṗed.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 3]
Ṗroviding for the safety needs of Susan and her children is the first ṗriority. If Ṗamela was to discuss the ṗossible
dangers of Susan returning home, Ṗamela could miss the oṗṗortunity of develoṗing raṗṗort and establishing trust
with Susan. This information may frighten Susan and her children.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 4]
Whether a ṗolice reṗort is filed is Susan‘s decision, not that of Ṗamela. Ṗamela may share information about the
ṗrocess and outcome scenarios but should not make this decision on her client‘s behalf.
