When you read the article, you see that you andyou colleague are cited in the appendix but much of the material is word for word what you have written.

The Inpatient

You have been working with a patient for a few weeks, when she comes to her appointment in an agitated state. You decide to refer her to an inpatient facility because her behavior has become very unreliable. She is not overtly suicidal or homicidal. When you call the facility the next day to check on her status, the hospital will neither confirm nor deny that she is a patient there. You have a generic release form that she signed when you started working with her a couple of weeks previously.

Please address the following questions (note: see additional question below):

Can you use the previously signed form to get information about your client?

Can you fax the release form to the clerk at the hospital?

ADDITIONALLY: Prior to your decision to refer her for inpatient treatment, the client was engaged in abusing prescription medication. She was taking the Xanax that her physician had prescribed for her much more quickly than the prescribed dosage. In fact, she had taken 17 mg in the 30 hours prior to admission. She should have only taken 2.5 mg.

Please also address the following question: Does this change anything?
