Confidentiality Self-Determination and Informed Consent
1. A 22 year old client tells you that he is joining friends late at night to engage in high speed street racing. They meet in a different place each time to elude the police. This is an extremely dangerous activity. Should you do anything to stop him? Use this week’s reading assignment and PowerPoint slides to support your answer. What if you then learn that a minor regularly rides with him? What principle from the Ethical Principles Screen applies in each scenario?
2. You are asked to assess a young adult (age 21) female who is intellectually challenged. The young lady’s 54 year old aunt is her legal guardian, because both of her parents were killed in an automobile accident. You determine upon meeting the potential client that she may be employable, but needs sheltered living and supportive services. The aunt is not sure that she agrees with that. How would you go about trying to determine if the aunt, who would be giving informed consent rather than the client, has her niece’s best interest at heart?
