You have been treating Ben for about twelve weeks. After twelve weeks, it is determined that Ben must be hospitalized in order to stabilize. Ben is hospitalized for a period of three weeks. During these three weeks, Ben’s psychiatrist and others have been trying to reach you, but have been unsuccessful. You are currently at risk for:
  1. Losing a client
  2. Therapeutic dissonance
  3. Improper care
  4. Client abandonment
Explanation
Answer - D - Abandonment is defined as not following up on a client who was in your care prior to admission and not participating in discharge planning or not following up with referrals for post-discharge use. While it may not impact the client, it impacts the ability of others to rely on you to provide timely, accurate, and appropriate care.
