A representative from
“Canyon Smiles” dentist’s office comes to your agency to make a presentation
about their services. You are surprised to see Bethanie; an old friend from
high school is now working for “Canyon Smiles” and will be the one making the
presentation. During the presentation you learn the dentist’s office
recently opened a new location that is really close to your house. This is
important because you predominately work from home so this location would work
best for you. Everyone in the office very gets excited when Bethanie tells
them: “Every case manager, who brings in a new client, will be entered into a
drawing to win a brand new IPad! Don’t worry, she says, it is perfectly legal!”
At the end of the meeting Bethanie pulls you aside and ask if you want to go
lunch and catch up!
In 200-300 words, explain
all the ethical situations that may arise out of the above scenario. Explain
what you would do as case manager and why. Make sure to cite the NASW Code of
Ethics in your explanation. Also, explain what else you could do to clarify
ethical dilemmas in this situation that are not clear in the code of ethics.
Scenario 2(a):
You are shopping one
Sunday afternoon at one of your favorite stores when you run into a current
client of yours. After some simple chit-chat, about the store’s “special” that
day, your client asks if you want to head on over to the food court to have lunch.
You need to eat and was actually thinking about going over to the food court
yourself, before your client mentioned it.
In 100-150 words, Explain

of yours. After some simple chit-chat about the store’s “special” that day, and

actually thinking about going over to the food court yourself, before your
client mentioned it.

Scenario 3:
After graduating from
college, you apply for and are offered a program manager position with a social
service agency. Your primary responsibility is to develop a volunteer program
that includes increasing donations & volunteerism for your clients and your
program. One week into your new job, you learn the program only has one
volunteer group, that is part of a church, but they are on hiatus because of a
bad experience between them, clients, and the agency. Wanting to repaper
this damaged relationship you invite the members of the group into the office
to discuss the situation and a plan for going forward. During the meeting you
learn that the leader of the group does not believe “everyone” in the group
needs to poses a valid DPS Level One Fingerprint Clearance Card because he has
one and he can vouch for everyone else in the group. The policy of the agency
is that every volunteer, who interacts with clients more than one time, is
required to possess a valid DPS Level One Fingerprint Clearance Card.
The leader of the group
fears the card requirement will discourage volunteers from staying in/ joining
the group because the cards cost $65 dollars each! The leader is unsure if he
wants the group to continue because it is always hard to find volunteers
willing to pay the $65 for the clearance card. This group’s church donates
$5,000 to your program every year. They sponsor your programs largest donation
drive every year! In addition, the time they spend with your clients is given a
monetary value and then matched by another donor source. In short, this group
is the single largest private contributor to your program.
In 200-300 words, explain
all the ethical situations that may arise out of the above scenario. Explain
what you would do as case manager and why. Make sure to cite the NASW Code of
Ethics in your explanation. Also, explain what else you could do to clarify
