Chemical Dependency Counselor CCDC Exam Prep

Answer - C - When considerating a patient for treatment, it is always a good idea to see if a professional has performed a mental status exam to check all of the patient’s areas of orientation, speech, thought content, and mood. It can be the key to building an effective treatment plan or directing the patient to the right type of facility or outpatient care. All of the other assessments mentioned are a part of a suicide assessment or depression assessment, which are useful in their own right.
