LMSW Practice Test

The TANF refers to:

1. a new psychotropic medication that provides effective temporary relief of depression but needs constant physical monitoring for changes in liver function

2. AFDC

3. the new Medicare program that provides in-home care for the elderly and physically disabled

4. the recently instituted welfare reform bill entitled Temporary Assistance to Needy Families that limits the duration of welfare benefits

The correct answer is: a new psychotropic medication that provides effective temporary relief of depression but needs constant physical monitoring for changes in liver function

TANF refers to the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, which is a welfare reform bill that was instituted to limit the duration of welfare benefits. Option A, B, and C are incorrect because they refer to a psychotropic medication, AFDC, and a new Medicare program respectively, which are not related to TANF. Option A may seem like a plausible answer due to its use of the term "temporary", but it does not align with the context of the question. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
