Hardest ASWB Practice Questions Exam #2 - Social Work Shorts - ASWB Prep - LMSW, LSW, LCSW Exams

Question: for your question #3 rationale, I agree that bipolar 1 often results in need of hospitalization. However, the wording in this question is misleading because a bipolar 1 criteria is a manic episode lasting at least 1 week *or* any duration of hospitalization is necessary. It doesn't mean without hospitalization that it's bipolar 2. Also, the key words in your question (a week of symptoms) makes me think this is misleading. What are your thoughts? Thank you for the video!

We already understood that the parents are dismissive meaning it has been brought to their attention and they have ignored it, so wouldn't the next level be CPS? I'm not understanding this rationale. I certainly would've got this one wrong.

Just wanted to say I passed my clinical exam today. Thank you for all of your KZbin videos they were super helpful 🥰

[@crystalbrown1123]

In this question, it said the parents were “dismissive” so that alluded, to me and my thought process, that the parents were in the know about the child condition and ignored it. Could you please clarify/explain why you wouldn’t makes a CPS report given that the parents were dismissive? Seeking clarification in my thought process given this scenario. Thanks.

I would counter that question #3 is not clearly bipolar 2 as it is stated that the duration of time for the heightened energy, lack of sleep, etc is seven days. A manic episode is 7 days or more, a hypomanic episode is 4 or more days. So I would say this is simply a poorly written question as there is nothing that indicates that this is NOT Bipolar 1

Agreed, I would also choose D. They are already dismissive and they said it’s worse. So how do we know they are being dismissive if they parents have not already been talked to?

[@ti5476]

Agree

[@Dr.Ez.ANewLivingWay]

Agree if they are dismissive, wouldn't the next level be CPS? makes no sense to me

This is a very informative video. I love how you break down the questions. Thank you

great question and rational

[@jenniferjamison-lq9vn]

It’s definitely D!!!

[@yanam4140]

It truly needs luck to pass this exam. The majority of candidates choose a D for the question #1 in particular. We have a clear information the parents do not take the child for medical treatment and are dismissive to a child's concerns. Isn't that, in actuality, typical neglect? You have no idea how they want you to respond. Sometimes it's ridiculous.

I agree a bit with you here that it sometimes feels as if it takes a miracle, but I think one of the key things to take away is that you never want to assume, and always work with what is given. The way you care for your family may be different from the way some else cares for theirs. Cultures are different-- most cases people aren't rushing to "address" an issue that may appear minor until it's at the tail end of a problem-- doesn't make it neglect but simply the way the family functions. I have tested 5 times, so I understand your frustration, but I will say if it isn't in the scenario then leave it out. Don't look for what you can't see. In the scenario very little was given. How do we know the plan of the parents? How do we know that they can afford the visit? How do we know if the family is providing home remedies that just isn't working? It may appear neglectful (because is identified that professional medical treatment has not been sought) from a professional's view, but again we have very little to work with. It didn't mention tears to the skin, or pus or bleeding or even gangrene. For all we know this could be eczema in its worse state, we don't have much information/ detail to work with. Work with what you have. Some parents lack the education and understanding and resources. Allowing a school nurse to bring to the attention of the parents their options is less intimidating than a social worker addressing CPS issues for something that could have been handled at a level of communication. My two cents. Nonetheless- trust the process. And if you need a study buddy from a far, let's connect! Be blessed!

@@beemaree67 I sincerely appreciate your input and support. I have had enough of taking this test numerous times. I am competent to pass practical examinations but not the real ones. Despite having years of clinical practice, study guides, and tutorials at my disposal, the lack of a "licensure paper" discourages me. I am using accommodation on the test that helps me with reducing anxiety level. I am open to any suggestions.

[@beemaree67]

@yanam4140 I'm right there with you I promise. I'm equally discouraged but definitelynot giving up! I wish you the best of luck. This year you got it before the year is out.

@@beemaree67 I truly pray that God will hear all of your kind comments which I greatly appreciate! 🙏Thank you for your understanding and support with my issues! In addition to devoting a lot of efforts and time to the tests, I also spent lots of money on tests and associated resources! Wishing best of luck on your journey through life!

[@Dr.Ez.ANewLivingWay]

I totally agree with you. The next level should be CPS if the parents are dismissive this makes no sense to me whatsoever. I would get this question wrong if that's the case.
