Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Proprietary agencies are profit-making agencies. Proprietary agencies are free-standing, for-profit agencies that are required to pay taxes. Many are part of large chains and now dominate the home care industry.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D
Client and consultant goals, time commitments, and intervention strategies suggested are areas to include in a written contract. The number of students involved in the project and the educational preparation of those involved are not part of the written agreement.
