Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A simple way of showing respect is to address the client by title and surname rather than assume that
the client would wish to be called by his first name. Option B violates confidentiality. Option C
violates client autonomy. Option D exemplifies beneficence and fidelity.

Most health care visits by clients with somatoform and dissociative disorders are illness related.
Regular dental and medical examinations and screenings are part of health promotion and
maintenance. Options A and B are not relevant to health promotion. Option C suggests
uncoordinated care.
