Question

question 8 out of 14:
you have identified several safety risks in the client’s home. you have told the client’s decision - making family member and your supervisor your concerns but none of the changes you recommended have been made. what should you do?
just try to be more careful with the client around the house.
make the changes yourself.
ask your client to talk to his or her family members about making the changes.
tell your supervisor.

Explanation:

• Option A: Relying on being more careful doesn't address the underlying safety risks and could still lead to accidents.
• Option B: Making changes without authorization is unprofessional and may violate workplace protocols or the client's autonomy.
• Option C: The client may not have the authority or ability to convince family members, and this shifts the responsibility inappropriately.
• Option D: Since previous concerns were shared but no action was taken, escalating to the supervisor (who may have more authority or resources to address the issue) is the appropriate step to ensure client safety.

Answer:

D. Tell your supervisor.
