1. A therapist is meeting with a client for an initial
evaluation. The client reports feeling moody and
has been having many headaches. The client states
that she lost a lot of weight recently and has
noticed a decrease in appetite. The clinician should
FIRST:
A. Assess the client for suicidality
B. Refer the client to a psychiatrist
C. Complete a mental status exam
D. Refer the client to a MD
1. For this ASWB exam practice question, the

group members are feeling and whether anyone
