David has confronted a fellow colleague about his alcohol problem, even offering to seek help. The colleague denies having an issue and refuses the assistance from David. Job performance is becoming poor and the colleague arrives late for work every day. What is David’s next step?
  1. Have another colleague try to help
  2. Hope the colleague will get his problem under control
  3. Leave AA pamphlets on the colleague’s desk
  4. Follow rules for appropriate action
Explanation
Answer: D - A social worker should always attempt to assist colleagues with their problems and help with remedial action when the impairment interferes with practice effectiveness. When adequate steps are not taken to rectify the problem, action needs to be sought through the appropriate channels. This may include a supervisor or the NASW licensing board.
