Scenario:

One week after attending her cultural event, Naria returns and willingly provides youa urine drug screen sample for her records. A few days later, her tests come back positive for Lysergic acid diethylamid (commonly known as LSD) a hallucinogen that she reports was used during some of her cultural rituals this past week. She elaborated by informing you that she and her members of her tribe use hallucinogens in order to predict the weather and other important life events. You inform Naria, that while she did use the substance for cultural purposes, LSD is an illegal substance that could possibly be considered a violation of her probation. You and Naria discuss these implications throughout the session during which Naria reports that she was unaware that LSD "would count." Visibly worried, Naria agrees to schedule to see you next week and awaits to see what will happen with her probation. Naria decides that in order to avoid probationary consequences, she will revoke the release of information giving permission to disclose any information to her probation office.

Update: Immediately after Naria's session, Ms. Jones calls and request to have the results of her most recent drug screen.

Tasks:

1. Considering the federal requirements of the 42 CFR what do you say to Ms. Jones during this phone call?
2. Would you provide a copy of her drug screen results? why or why not?
3. Review the NOHS (2015) code of ethics, and identify at least two ethical principles that would apply to this scenario. Ethical Standards for Human Service Professionals.pdf
4. Under what legal circumstances could you release her drug screen results without the client's permission?
