Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Crisis intervention is a type of brief therapy that is more directive than traditional psychotherapy or counseling. It focuses on problem solving and involves only the problem created by the crisis. The other options do not properly reassure the patient and build trust. Giving advice in the form of you really should participate is inappropriate. Don't worry now is false reassurance. While crisis intervention may help families communicate better, the goal is to return to precrisis level of functioning; family therapy will focus on helping families communicate better.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Preadolescents experience stress related to self-esteem issues, changing family structure as a result of divorce or death of a parent, or hospitalizations. Adolescent stressors include identity issues with peer groups and separation from their families. Children identify stressors related to physical appearance, families, friends, and school. Adult stressors centralize around major changes in life circumstances.
