Mary,
Thanks for initiating the discussion. I, too, am working on licensure in psychology and think these types of discussion are really valuable. I wonder if the list would get into more discussion over sample test questions? If so, please post so we can further explore.

Good Morning Everyone,

Well, the answer was B".  I will admit I answered "D"  because I thought the social worker would have looked in to the "essential functions of the job"
before arranging an interview.  Bad assumption on my part.  However, after finding out I got the answer incorrect, and reading the reasoning for the answer, it makes sense since a social worker would not contact the manager without getting the client's permission...self-determination in NFB terms self-advocacy.

Thanks for your participation,
Merry

I always trip myself up over these questions. I know the word "first" is the most important part of the question.  But, to Shannon's point, what may have been done already? Still, these questions are pretty formulaic. The trick is knowing what the testers think, not over-thinking the answer and not complicating the question by thinking about what would happen in a real situation, which often doesn't fit conveniently into a multiple choice answer.
I can play "what if" till I really confuse myself, but I'm still sticking with B.
