Service Delivery and Planning 1. Why do you think developing a plan is important? A plan is important because it helps narrate a connection between the case manager and the client. It helps that it’s mapped out and there’s no surprises because sometimes things can trigger an episode because they didn’t want to do certain things or talk about certain things. 2. If you were a new case manager, how would you begin to develop a network of available services? I would get help from other professional peers because they might possibly have experience in certain situations or give opinions that might better help your client. It’s always good to go off referrals because of experience and they’ve been there or used that resource that helped their client. 3. What kinds of criteria would you use to determine whether you need to conduct a structured interview with an eight-year-old? I would observe first to see how they interact with others and their surroundings, that way I may figure out the best approach. 4. Do you believe that you will be able to determine what errors exist in the information that you gather? What problems do you expect to encounter in finding errors? No one is perfect and if I catch an error, I will definitely do my best to correct it. It’s always a good idea to proofread your notes that you gather and step outside the box just to make sure your unconscious bias is not written in it. 5. Describe the skills you need to be a culturally sensitive interviewer and test administrator. It’s important to always keep up with modern practices and cultures so that you don’t disrespect someone else or your clients’ beliefs. And if you don’t understand something, always ask instead of assuming. I’m sure someone would rather explain how they’re culture is than have you act like you know but instead end up on the negative side of it all. Building a Case File 1. Why do you think it is important to have medical information in a case file? A client’s medical information is important because it pertains to their background, family history. It helps with determining eligibility and limitations or recommendations for their continued care.
2. What difficulties do you expect to have in understanding a psychological report? I would have difficulty understanding the different definitions of some psychological disorders may be. The medical terminology can be a bit intimidating as well. 3. Develop a plan to gather information for the social history of a client who is in prison for armed robbery. I would first try to gather information from those closest to him. Observing how he is in his current surroundings and getting him to open up to whatever may have led him down this path and if he could what he would do differently. 4. Do you believe that you can have too much information about a client? Why or why not? Yes, because some information is really sensitive and could criminate him further. Some things are or should be on as only need to know basis.
