Question

multiple choice 2 points
when a client is in distress, social workers should work to ____.
○ reinforce secure attachment to others
○ assess which intelligences would be most useful
○ incorporate emotional intelligence interventions
○ help return them to a previous level of functioning

Explanation:

In social work, when a client is in distress, the goal is often to help them return to their previous level of functioning (stabilization and restoration). Reinforcing secure attachment is more about long - term relationship work, assessing intelligences is not the primary immediate action in distress, and incorporating emotional intelligence interventions is a method but not the direct goal in distress response. So the correct option is the one with "help return them to a previous level of functioning".

Answer:

The option with "help return them to a previous level of functioning" (the fourth option in the list of choices).
