  1. Which ethical principle requires a CLT to act in the best interest of the client, even when it may conflict with the therapist's personal interests?

    Answer: Beneficence

    Beneficence obligates the CLT to take positive actions that promote the client's health and well-being as a primary professional responsibility.

  2. What is the primary purpose of obtaining informed consent before a light therapy session?

    Answer: To ensure the client understands risks, benefits, and alternatives before agreeing to treatment

    Informed consent respects client autonomy by ensuring they have sufficient information to make a voluntary, educated decision about their treatment.

  3. A CLT discovers that a client is also receiving treatments from another provider for the same condition. What is the most professional course of action?

    Answer: Coordinate care with the other provider with the client's consent

    Collaborative, coordinated care with the client's written consent ensures the safest and most effective overall treatment plan.

  4. Under HIPAA, when can a CLT legally share a client's health information with a family member?

    Answer: When the client provides written authorization or verbal agreement in the therapist's presence

    HIPAA permits disclosure to family members only when the client authorizes it, either in writing or verbally during the appointment.

  5. What is 'scope of practice' as it applies to a CLT?

    Answer: The range of services a CLT is legally and professionally qualified to perform

    Scope of practice defines the procedures, actions, and processes that a CLT is legally authorized to perform based on their training and certification.

  6. Which of the following is an example of a dual relationship that a CLT should avoid?

    Answer: Providing light therapy treatments to a close personal friend

    Dual relationships, such as treating close friends, blur professional boundaries and can compromise objectivity, consent, and the therapeutic relationship.
