Challenge Your Exam Readiness With Our Free MBLEx Practice Questions

The MBLEx requires knowledge of ethical practice, client-therapist boundaries, and documentation. Romantic or sexual advances are inappropriate in a therapeutic setting and must be managed professionally. The correct response is to acknowledge that professional boundaries prohibit dual relationships, redirect the client’s focus to treatment goals, and make a neutral, supportive statement without judgment. Documentation of the occurrence protects both practitioner and client and creates a record in case of repeated issues. Option A risks exploitation and dual relationship conflicts. Option B fails to set boundaries and may perpetuate inappropriate behavior. Option D is strictly unethical and violates codes of practice, potentially leading to disciplinary action or loss of licensure. Professionalism requires consistent enforcement of safe boundaries to maintain therapeutic integrity.
