  1. The danger of using a career counselor for these issues
  2. The role and scope of a career counselor as alternative treatment
  3. Random assignment of other providers is not allowed
  4. Insurance will not cover visits to a career counselor
Explanation
Answer - B - Even though it could mean the loss of a client, you are ethically obligated to explain to each client the role and scope of alternative practitioners.
