One of her clients is going through an extinction burst, and they have had to use physical restraint several times to keep him, and everyone working with him, safe.

2/4/24, 5:29 PM Quiz Transcript Question 1 of 2 Is this appropriate? a. No. Mindy should not share identifying information about clients with anyone not directly involved in the case. Feedback: Rationale: Ethics code 2.03 covers this situation. While this job can be very demanding and high-stress, BCBAs must still always remember confidentiality, even with their spouses. Also, you never know who might be listening to conversations. What if someone at the pub knew the client? b. Yes, if she keeps her voice down. Feedback: Rationale: This is not an appropriate choice for Mindy. Mindy should not share information about her clients with her husband, or discuss her work in a public place where others might hear.

Feedback: Rationale: This is the best option. Not only can Mindy vent without fear of revealing information to someone who is not entitled to it, she can also discuss her frustrations and even get some ideas for how to proceed if the current plan is not working. b. Deal with it on her own. It's a hard job, but she knew what she was getting into. Feedback: Rationale: This is not the best option. There are other ways to maintain confidentiality yet still work through this stressful situation. For example, Mindy could vent instead to other professionals who are directly involved in the case. c. Quit. If she can't handle the job she should leave it to someone else who can handle the stress better. Feedback: Rationale: This is not the best option.
