Fields of Social Work Practice II Questions and Answers

Q: Which of the following professionals in the field of rehabilitation cannot apply for RCI accreditation ?

Medical practitioners cannot apply for RCI accreditation.The Rehabilitation Council of India, set up under the RCI Act, 1992, maintains the Central Rehabilitation Register of professionals in the field of rehabilitation and special education. Its recognised categories include clinical psychologists, speech therapists and audiologists, and rehabilitation social workers.Doctors are registered and regulated by the medical council (the Medical Council of India at the time, now the National Medical Commission), not by the RCI. So clinical psychologists, social workers and speech therapists can all register with the RCI, and only medical practitioners fall outside it.

Q: The Student Social Worker (SSW) found that her client, a child who was a victim of abuse within the family and was using 'dissociation' as a survival response to trauma. The child demonstrated feelings of uncertainty, puzzlement and conflict about her identity.Which of the following terms describes the child's condition ?

The child's condition is Identity confusion.Marlene Steinberg's description of dissociation names five core symptoms: amnesia, depersonalisation, derealisation, identity confusion and identity alteration. Identity confusion is defined as subjective feelings of uncertainty, puzzlement or conflict about one's own identity, which is exactly what the student social worker observed.Amnesia is a gap in memory for periods or events. Depersonalisation is a sense of detachment from oneself, as if watching oneself from outside. Identity alteration refers to observable shifts in role or behaviour, acting as though a different person, rather than the inner confusion described here.

Q: Which of the following falls under prenatal mortality ?

The answer is Late foetal and early neo-natal deaths.The measure the question means is perinatal mortality (the paper prints 'prenatal'), which counts deaths around the time of birth. It combines late foetal deaths, that is stillbirths at 28 weeks of gestation or later, with early neonatal deaths, deaths of live-born babies in the first seven days of life.Early neo-natal deaths alone and late foetal deaths alone are each only one half of the measure. Early foetal deaths are miscarriages early in pregnancy, and late neo-natal deaths fall between the 7th and 28th day, so neither belongs to the perinatal period.

Q: Which of the following is a terminal method of contraception ?

The terminal method is Tubectomy.A terminal (permanent) method ends the ability to conceive for good. Tubectomy, female sterilisation by cutting or blocking the fallopian tubes, is the most widely used terminal method in India, and vasectomy is its male counterpart.The intrauterine device is a long-acting but reversible spacing method: fertility returns once it is removed. The condom and the diaphragm are barrier methods used at each act of intercourse, so they are temporary methods as well.

Q: Assertion (A) : Economic deprivation leads to crime.Reason (R) : Because access to resources is perceived as social development.

The key's answer is that both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).Assertion: criminological theories such as Merton's strain theory and the relative deprivation approach link economic deprivation with crime. When people lack legitimate means to reach goals their society values, some turn to illegitimate means.Reason: access to resources is indeed treated as a measure of social development. But that statement describes how development is judged; it does not say why deprived people commit crime, so it does not explain the Assertion. That rules out the option making (R) the explanation, and the options marking either statement false.

Q: ............... worked on achievement motivation and goal setting behaviour.

The answer is McCleland and Atkinson.David McClelland and John W. Atkinson developed the theory of achievement motivation together, measuring the need for achievement from Thematic Apperception Test stories; their joint book The Achievement Motive appeared in 1953. Atkinson's risk-taking model then explained goal setting: people high in achievement motivation prefer goals of moderate difficulty, where success is uncertain but possible.McClelland alone leaves out Atkinson's work on goal choice, which the paper pairs with him. Maslow proposed the hierarchy of needs, and Confucius is a philosopher, not a motivation theorist.

Q: Assertion (A) : More women suffer from common mental disorders than men. However men outnumber women when it comes to psychosis.Reason (R) : Hormonal changes in women, their biology and physiology are the main cause for mental disorders in women.

The answer is (A) is true but (R) is false.The Assertion matches the epidemiological evidence: depression and anxiety, the common mental disorders, are about twice as frequent in women, while men have higher rates of substance use disorders, and schizophrenia tends to start earlier and more severely in men, with somewhat higher incidence.The Reason is false because it makes biology 'the main cause'. The World Health Organization and gender-and-health research attribute much of women's higher rates of common mental disorders to social determinants such as gender-based violence, poverty, low status, unequal burdens of care and discrimination. Hormonal factors play a part, but a purely biological explanation ignores these social causes.

Q: For the first time in the history of mental health legislation. The Mental Health Care Act, 2017 emphasises :

The Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 emphasises the rights of persons with mental illness.The Act takes a rights-based approach, in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It gives every person the right to access mental healthcare, along with rights to dignity, equality, confidentiality, community living and legal aid, introduces advance directives and nominated representatives, and effectively decriminalises attempted suicide.It restricts electro-convulsive therapy rather than promoting it, banning ECT without anaesthesia and for minors except in limited cases. Common facilities for patients with and without a criminal history and Aadhaar cards for long-stay patients are not what the Act is known for.

The correct matching is (2) (1) (3) (4).

Chronic psychotic illness: hospitalization (2), for patients who cannot be managed safely at home.
Phobia: behaviour modification (1), such as systematic desensitisation and graded exposure.
ADHD: environmental modification (3), giving the child a structured, low-distraction setting at home and school.
Violent behaviour: electro-convulsive therapy (4), which the paper pairs with acute excitement and aggression in severe mental illness where rapid control is needed.

Once chronic psychosis is matched with hospitalization and phobia with behaviour modification, only (2) (1) (3) (4) remains; the other code rows give phobia hospitalization or ADHD behaviour modification, which the pairing does not support.
