Which of the following is not a function of a psychiatric social worker ?
Answer: C
The discharge decision is not a function of a psychiatric social worker.
Deciding when a patient is fit to leave hospital is a clinical decision taken by the treating psychiatrist and the medical team. The social worker contributes information about the family and home situation and prepares for the discharge, but does not make the decision.
The other three are core social work tasks in a psychiatric setting: the intake interview, in which the social history is taken; developing the plan of care with the patient and family; and rehabilitation, helping the patient return to family, work and community life after treatment.
