Praxis 5422 Practice Question

Which of the following constitutes privileged communication?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Privileged communication is designed to protect sensitive information shared in a confidential setting. Option A exemplifies this, as a student’s disclosure of suicidal ideation during counseling is protected to encourage open and honest communication about mental health.

Option B is incorrect; a subpoena requires disclosure, thus overriding confidentiality. Option C is also not privileged, as sharing academic progress between a teacher and counselor is part of routine communication, not confidential. Lastly, Option D, while sensitive, does not qualify as privileged communication since it involves a parent sharing information, which does not fall under the same protections as a student’s direct disclosures.
