Here are three questions recently posted on the SWTP blog. See you how you. Reposted by permission:
1. A social worker sees a client who reports a lifetime of "seeing things all the time, shadows." He also reports hearing voices, "probably the NSA," which tell him he's "useless and stupid." The voices leave him feeling "pretty sad and really annoyed." Given the symptoms the client describes, what is the MOST likely of the following DSM diagnoses?
A. Major depression with psychotic features
B. Schizophrenia
C. Schizophreniform disorder
D. Schizoaffective disorder
Stumped? An information-rich explanation is here.
2. A 17-year-old client who appears noticeably underweight reports frequently forcing herself to vomit after meals in order to "stay skinny for cheerleading." The MOST likely DSM diagnosis for this client is a type of:
A. Bulimia nervosa
B. Body dysmorphic disorder
C. Rumination disorder
D. Anorexia nervosa
Not sure? Here's the answer and how you get to it.
3. A man in his 40s comes to a mental health clinic complaining of gradual memory loss and occasional confusion, such as getting lost on the way to a job he has held for years. The man is a retired boxer who suffered multiple concussions during his career. The MOST likely diagnosis for this client is:
A. Post-traumatic stress disorder
B. Alzheimer's disease
C. Delirium
Uncertain? Answer and explanation here.
There's more where these came from. Check out the "practice" tag on the blog for additional free questions. Then stick around at SWTP--as they intend--for full-length, 170-question, covering-all-topic-areas ASWB exam practice tests.
Happy studying!
