Hello Professor and Classmates, 

The Case Management Code of Ethics and the Social Work Code of Ethics have many similarities as they both have a responsibility to promote the wellbeing of clients (National Association of Social Workers, 2021). Moreover, they both also promote the client's dignity and worth and right to self determination (NASW, 2021). An ethical dilemma that a case manager might face could possibly be encountering a client while out at dinner. The client might ask the case manager to join them at the restaurant bar for a drink. The case manager should respectfully and politely decline the invitation and state that they have a responsibility to maintain professional boundaries and that this situation would be a conflict of interest.   

Best, 

Sandra
