Among the cautions in applying the strengths perspective to policy practice, social workers should:

A) avoid talking about client strengths in public, because this could lead to reduced funding for agency programs
B) be careful in not framing client strengths too emphatically, so that expectations will not be raised too high
C) never waiver in their application of the strengths perspective, which is the only analytical tool needed for policy analysis
D) maintain a sense of urgency and authenticity about clients' needs while highlighting their strengths as a tool with which to combat the apathy that sometimes surrounds entrenched problems
