Answer to Question 2

D
The most appropriate action would be to call the client on the telephone and ask if he would like to continue. This action is an assessment activity, under the case management model. Asking the group members to inform the client that he is welcome to come back is not proactive enough and places some of the responsibility of the client's on the group members, who are not health care providers. Before making a home visit or calling a team meeting, a simple phone call to the client should be made to gather more information and determine the next course of action. Also, keep in mind that as long as the client is not a threat to himself or others, he cannot be forced to attend meetings or take medication.
