A social worker has provided counseling services to a victim of domestic violence. When services are complete and a fee is proposed, the client does not have the ability to pay. Instead, the client offers to mow the social worker’s grass once a week for the entire summer. Which of the following is correct?
  1. Get the agreement in writing so the client cannot back out
  2. Discuss another service so the client does not come to the home
  3. Avoid accepting goods or services from clients as payment
  4. Get authorization through a supervisor
Explanation
Answer - C - Social workers should set fees that are fair and reasonable for the services performed. They should never accept goods or services as payment. Bartering arrangements create the potential for exploitation, conflicts of interest, and inappropriate boundaries in the relationship.
