Lulabelle is a job coach for a county social services department. Stella, age 19, is one of Lulabelle's clients. Stella emphasizes that she would like to get a clerical job like a secretary or administrative assistant. Stella says she's generally shy with people and would like a job where she could work in a more solitary manner. Stella states she has always been good at typing. Lulabelle knows that Stella never graduated from high school. She can't believe that Stella's typing or writing skills are anywhere near adequate for such a position. Therefore, Lulabelle decides not to inform Stella about available clerical alternatives. Rather, she steers Stella to think about becoming a sales clerk. This is the ethical thing to do.
