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
