Question:

Which of the following would be an UNETHICAL use of identifying client data?

A Using it in a grant application for emergency funding due to significant budget cuts
explanation

Releasing information is mandated under duty to warn and child abuse and neglect protections. A social worker should inform the client when seeking supervision and/or consultation and get the client’s permission to release information. However, in instances in which disclosure is needed to prevent serious, foreseeable, and imminent harm to a client, the social worker can release only the minimum amount of information necessary to prevent such harm. The last response choice, using it for a grant application, is unethical because it is not directly tied to client safety or duty to warn. Identifying client data should never be used in a grant application.
