During a session, a client states, "At 6:00 tonight I will shoot my supervisor, Elena Ruiz, as she leaves work. The loaded pistol is in my car." The psychologist judges that the client has the apparent intent and ability to act immediately. Under Florida law, what must the psychologist do?
Correct answer: B - Notify law enforcement; warning the intended victim is also permitted
At a patient's request, the patient's spouse attends a psychotherapy session solely to help communicate history and participate in treatment under the psychologist's direction. The patient intends the discussion to remain private. What is the effect of the spouse's presence on psychotherapist-patient privilege?
Correct answer: D - The communication may remain confidential because the spouse furthered treatment
Which adult most clearly satisfies Florida's criteria for involuntary examination?
Correct answer: A - A man with schizophrenia who refuses examination after explanation, tried to jump from a roof earlier today, and says he will try again tonight
A competent voluntary inpatient orally requests discharge. Staff immediately record the request; it is not rescinded, no extra discharge-planning time is necessary, and the patient does not meet criteria for involuntary status. Which timeline controls?
Correct answer: A - Communicate the request within 12 hours and discharge within 24 hours
A 15-year-old experiencing an emotional crisis asks a licensed psychologist for an initial outpatient counseling visit without parental consent. The proposed service is verbal therapy and involves no medication, somatic treatment, aversive stimulus, or substantial deprivation. What may the psychologist provide under Florida law?
Correct answer: B - Up to two crisis-service visits in one week before parental consent is required
A 74-year-old vulnerable adult with capacity consents to voluntary in-home protective services, then clearly withdraws consent. No court-authorized basis under §415.1051 exists. What follows for those services?
Correct answer: A - They must stop because the capable adult withdrew consent
During a biennium in which domestic-violence education is not due, a psychologist completes an approved three-credit graduate psychology course, 14 additional approved general hours, an approved 2-hour medical-error course, and 3 approved hours on ethics and Florida law that include the required ethics and law components. Which conclusion follows?
Correct answer: D - Requirements are met; the course earns the 21-hour maximum
A standardized capacity measure yields a markedly low score, but the result conflicts with the psychologist's direct evaluation, collateral information, and observed functioning. What is the best reporting approach under Florida's test-use rule?
Correct answer: C - Reconcile the score with the full evaluation and explain the limitations
A client signs a broad authorization directing a psychologist to send the complete evaluation file to the client's divorce attorney. The attorney is not a psychologist, and there is no court order or other law requiring production. Which requested component may not be released solely on that authorization?
Correct answer: C - Written answer sheets and test protocols
A Georgia-licensed psychologist conducts routine weekly video sessions with a patient who is physically located in Florida. The psychologist has no Florida license, Florida telehealth registration, compact privilege, or applicable statutory exemption. How should the psychologist's authority be assessed?
Correct answer: C - The sessions are not authorized because practice with a Florida-located patient requires Florida authority
