Question: 1 / 50

What might a social worker suspect if Harry is obtaining duplicate prescriptions for painkillers?

Harry has become drug dependent and needs help to control his need for painkillers.

A social worker might suspect that Harry has become drug dependent and needs help to control his need for painkillers because obtaining duplicate prescriptions can be a sign of substance abuse and addictive behaviors. Option B is incorrect because it assumes that Harry's behavior will only improve after his back problem is cured, which may not necessarily be the case. Option C is incorrect because it puts the responsibility solely on the doctor to increase Harry's prescription, rather than addressing the underlying issue of potential substance abuse. Option D is incorrect because it shifts the focus to Harry's family, when the primary concern should be helping Harry get the necessary support and treatment for his potential addiction.

Harry's behavior will probably diminish after the back problem is cured.

The doctor needs to be informed and asked to increase Harry's prescription.

The family should be helped to control Harry's behavior.
