Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The answer choice B correctly states that positive and supportive attitudes toward clients can establish a rapport with them. Attitudes, such as empathy, non-judgment, and respect, are essential for building trust and a therapeutic relationship with clients. Choice A may be partially correct, but it only focuses on the worker's understanding of clients' mistakes and not necessarily on how their attitudes influence interactions. Choice C is not relevant in this context as it talks about personal growth, not client interactions. Choice D is a misleading statement because human service workers and clients may have similar struggles or experiences.
