If a client presents with the following diagnoses and environmental factors, what issues could be seen as medically in need of treatment?

  • Adjustment Disorder
  • Hypertension
  • Social stressors
  • GAF of 84
  1. The client no longer meets medical necessity
  2. The Adjustment Disorder, if it has not been resolved to client satisfaction
  3. The GAF, which needs to be much lower
  4. The hypertension, because its effect on psychological health is a significant risk
Explanation

Answer: B - While this can be a slippery slope regarding client satisfaction, you must remember that you have objective ways in which to measure client satisfaction. Especially when it comes to pain, happiness, and sadness, you can turn to a 1-10 scale that will provide you with some valuable information. When the negative elements of said scale diminish to a point where the client can resume functioning, your job is complete.
