Arnie has problems with substance abuse. He considers himself an “alcoholic who likes a little cocaine now and then.” He is funny, articulate, and clever. When he comes to the case management unit he seems open about his progress and regressions. He always asks how his case manager is doing, what she did for Christmas, how her little boy is doing. Sometimes he brings in the paper and leaves it for her to read, saying he has read it and is finished with it. On Friday evening some of the case managers go out to dinner at a place that serves alcohol and very good food. They are having a good time unwinding after work when Arnie joins them. It appears that he is drinking a soft drink, but no one knows that for sure. Arnie and the case managers laugh and talk about their work until late in the evening. Arnie is funny and has hilarious insights about some of the clients he has encountered in the waiting room. 

The above hypothetical practice situations are designed to help you apply what you have learned in this chapter. For each situation, decide what was done in the situation that was unethical.
