What should a counselor do if a caregiver tests positive for marijuana?

  1. Document the results and assess the safety of the children

  2. Immediately remove the children from the home

  3. Ignore the results

  4. Report the caregiver to the police

The correct answer is: Document the results and assess the safety of the children

A counselor should document the results of a caregiver testing positive for marijuana, as this is important information to have on file. The counselor should also assess the safety of the children in the home and determine if there are any potential risks. Removing the children from the home immediately without further assessment and investigation may not always be necessary. Ignoring the results is not a responsible course of action and could potentially put the children at risk. Reporting the caregiver to the police should only be considered if there is evidence of child abuse or neglect, not solely based on a positive drug test result.
