Question: 1 / 130
What specific requirement is there for mandatory disclosure when the client is a child?
Disclosure must be made to the child's pediatrician
When a child is the client, the mandatory disclosure should be made to the child's pediatrician. This is because the child's pediatrician is the primary healthcare provider and has a responsibility to oversee the child's overall well-being. The other options listed are incorrect because
- Option B suggests that the child's consent is required for disclosure, but this is not always the case as parents or legal guardians may have the authority to make decisions on the child's behalf.
- Option C suggests that disclosure should be made to the child's classmates, which could potentially harm the child's privacy and confidentiality.
- Option D suggests that disclosure should be made in public places, which is not necessary and can also violate the child's privacy and confidentiality.
