If you feel uncomfortable discussing certain risk factors with clients (i.e. sexually promiscuous behavior with teenagers), how do you proceed when you need to broach the subject with one of your clients?
  1. Ask a close friend to explain it to them
  2. Require them to attend training on the subject
  3. Let them find out on their own
  4. Have the conversation you know is necessary; no time like the present
Explanation
Answer - D - In order for you to be practicing ethically, you must be willing to have the difficult conversations, even if they involve subjects or will result in outcomes that you are not happy with. The better part of therapy happens when therapists can discuss things with their clients because their clients trust them to be upfront and honest about what is happening. Continuing to have the difficult discussions will pay off for you in the end.
