Certified Case Manager Practice Test

What type of information is not typically included in a case plan?

1. Child's preferences

2. Employment history

3. Health and safety concerns

4. Goals for improvement

The correct answer is: Employment history

A case plan is primarily focused on the needs and preferences of the client, the goals to be achieved, and any relevant concerns that may impact that individual’s well-being. Typically, it would include aspects such as the client's preferences, health and safety concerns, and specific goals for improvement. Employment history, while it may provide context about a client's situation or barriers they face, is not usually a central feature of the case plan unless it directly relates to the client's goals for improvement or other pertinent aspects of the case. Case plans are designed to be actionable and focused on the client's immediate needs and aspirations, often guiding interventions to ensure progress toward clearly defined objectives. Thus, while Employment history can be discussed in the broader context of a client's circumstances, it is not generally included in the focused analysis of a case plan.
