Question 1

A system&#10;A) Is made up of interconnected parts&#10;B) Is compatible for macro-level social work practice only&#10;C) Consists of five broad levels: micro, mezzo, macro, metro, and intro levels&#10;D) Only refers to the elements in an individual's outside environment.

Accepted Answer

A system is defined as a set of interconnected parts forming a complex whole, which can be applied to various contexts, including social work practice at micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because systems are not limited to macro-level social work practice, there are not specifically five broad levels as described, and a system does not only refer to elements in an individual's outside environment but can also include internal components.

Question 2

Clinical social work practice&#10;A) Excludes interventions directed to interpersonal interactions.&#10;B) Is based on knowledge of one or more theories of human development within a psychosocial context&#10;C) Is a macro orientation to social work practice&#10;D) Does not combine different levels of practice

Accepted Answer

Clinical social work practice is grounded in theories of human development within a psychosocial context, enabling practitioners to address individual needs in a comprehensive manner.

Question 3

History of clinical social work indicates that&#10;A) The English Poor Laws were based on the assumption that the poor are poor because of their ignorance and their willful refusal to work&#10;B) The Association for Improving the Conditions of the Poor (AICP) used a punitive approach towards helping poor individuals.&#10;C) Charity Organizations societies investigated all applicants for criminal records.&#10;D) The &#34;family visitors&#34; concluded that all poor people were similar and needed to be treated in the same manner

Accepted Answer

The English Poor Laws were indeed based on the assumption that poverty was largely due to ignorance and a refusal to work, reflecting societal attitudes towards poverty and the poor during the time they were enacted. This legislation aimed to address poverty by instituting a system that could provide relief to the poor, but also by implementing measures that were intended to deter reliance on such relief, based on the belief that poverty was often a result of personal failings.

Question 4

The purpose of social work practice is&#10;A) To sanction people&#10;B) To ameliorate those conditions that contributes to the breakdown of a healthy relationship between an individual and his or her environment.&#10;C) To provide charity&#10;D) To reduce national poverty levels

Accepted Answer

The primary purpose of social work practice is to address and ameliorate the conditions that negatively affect the relationship between individuals and their environments, aiming to improve well-being and social functioning.

Which of the following is NOT a value postulate of professional social work practice?&#10;A) Belief in a person's uniqueness and individuality&#10;B) Under-determination of client's worth&#10;C) Self-determination&#10;D) Respect for a client

Accepted Answer

Under-determination of client's worth is not a value postulate of professional social work practice. Social work values emphasize the inherent worth and dignity of all people, not under-determination of their worth.

Question 6

At the heart of social work practice with individuals are the following elements:&#10;A) Purpose, skills, sanctions, knowledge, and goals.&#10;B) Purpose, values, judgment, knowledge, and goals&#10;C) Purpose, values, sanctions, knowledge, and methods&#10;D) Purpose, skills, sanctions, experience, and methods

Social work practice with individuals involves purpose, values, sanctions, knowledge, and methods to effectively address and support clients' needs.

Question 7

Which of the following theories is NOT compatible with Clinical Social work Practice?&#10;A) Role theory&#10;B) Theory of Relativity&#10;C) Learning Theory&#10;D) General Systems Theory

Accepted Answer

The Theory of Relativity, developed by Albert Einstein, is a fundamental principle in physics that describes the relationship between space and time. It does not directly apply to clinical social work practice, which involves understanding and intervening in human behavior, social environments, and interpersonal relationships. The other options (Role theory, Learning Theory, and General Systems Theory) are relevant to social work as they provide frameworks for understanding individual and systemic behavior and interactions.

Question 8

Which of the following responses is the most comprehensive of all responses when describing the knowledge required for clinical social work practice:&#10;A) Knowledge of the various services of the community&#10;B) Knowledge from social work about social service agencies- legally mandated agencies sanctioned by the community, their organization and function&#10;C) Knowledge of the constitutions and bylaws of voluntary organizations, and agency policy statements&#10;D) Social workers need to incorporate a knowledge of various factors at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels and multi- disciplinary theories that usually influence human behavior in a given social environment

Accepted Answer

D is the most comprehensive choice because it encompasses a broad understanding of factors and theories across multiple levels (micro, mezzo, and macro) that influence human behavior, which is essential for effective clinical social work practice. This includes, but is not limited to, the specific knowledge mentioned in the other options.

Question 9

Clinical social work process consists of&#10;A) Study, assessment, intervention, and termination&#10;B) Education, assessment, evaluation, and termination&#10;C) Study, sanction, intervention, and termination&#10;D) Study, assessment, intervention, and Institutionalization

Accepted Answer

The clinical social work process typically involves the phases of study (gathering information about the client and their environment), assessment (evaluating the client's needs and issues), intervention (implementing strategies to address the identified issues), and termination (concluding the professional relationship once goals are met or services are no longer required).

Question 10

Which of the following basic principles does NOT guide social work intervention:&#10;A) Acceptance of a client's capacity to change&#10;B) Relating to a client's pathology rather than his/her strength&#10;C) Collaboration with the client on goal-setting and assessment&#10;D) Professional responsibility for the welfare of the entire family

Accepted Answer

Social work interventions are guided by the principle of focusing on a client's strengths rather than their pathology. This approach emphasizes empowering the client and leveraging their capabilities for change, rather than concentrating on their weaknesses or problems.
