  1. Which would be an appropriate descriptor that meets all criteria for defining a client to be served by a program?
a. All women ages 40 to 50 who have not had a menstrual period for 3 consecutive months

d. Children ages 18 months to 5 years old who have been treated for nutritional deficiencies at the Central County Clinic

 

 

ANS:  B

The client should be defined by biological and psychosocial characteristics, by geographical location, and by the problems to be addressed. For example, in a community with a large number of preschool children who require immunizations to enter school, the client population may be described as all children between 4 and 6 years of age residing in Central County who have not had up-to-date immunizations. This example tells the reader who the client is, what the need is, how large the population is, and where they are located.
