Two clinical social workers are discussing a case in an open conference room. One of the colleagues is consulting with the other about a specific request from a client. Not sure how to handle the situation, expertise from another professional seemed like the best answer. Though consultation is ethically recognized, what issue is being violated in this setting?
  1. Confidentiality
  2. Professionalism
  3. Supervision
  4. Informed consent
Explanation
Answer: A - To maintain confidentiality the workers should discuss the case in an office or other private setting with the door closed. The fact that the conference room is open means anyone walking by, including other clients, can overhear details of the case.
