What action should a licensee take if they learn that a client holds false or exaggerated ideas about their services?

A. Ignore it to avoid conflict
B. Take immediate and reasonable action to correct it
C. Inform other clients first
D. Report it to authorities immediately

The correct answer is: B. Take immediate and reasonable action to correct it

Taking immediate and reasonable action to correct false or exaggerated ideas about services is essential for maintaining the integrity of the therapeutic relationship and ensuring that clients are accurately informed. Misunderstandings or misconceptions can lead to unrealistic expectations or trust issues, which can ultimately harm the client's progress and the effectiveness of the counseling process. By addressing the misinformation promptly, the licensee not only protects the client's interests but also upholds professional standards and reinforces the ethical commitment to transparency and truthfulness in practice. Ignoring the issue may allow misinformation to persist, which could negatively impact the client's experience and outcomes. Informing other clients first would be inappropriate, as it could breach confidentiality and trust. Reporting to authorities is typically reserved for situations of harm or risk; this scenario requires direct communication with the affected client to facilitate understanding and correction.
