You have been seeing Veronica for about eight weeks now. You receive a phone call from her parents and while you don’t share any details, you do assure them that therapy is progressing relatively smoothly. In your next session with Veronica, you:
  1. Avoid the subject all-together
  2. Only bring it up if she brings it up
  3. Talk directly to her about the fact that her parents called
  4. Tell her she has nothing to worry about
Explanation
Answer - C - An open policy about who inquires about a patient’s health and wellness is a good thing to have. Clients have a right to know who is asking about their progress, why, and when. The consent to release information is also required to be in place before sharing any information.
