Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, C, E

Senior year is a transition to work or college. This is a developmental progression to the next level of maturity, a predictable event experienced by nearly all individuals. The client is demonstrating stressors unique to progressing to the next level of maturity. The recent death of a friend and having a relationship with a significant other end are situational crises.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

In general, people are more successful in working through a crisis if they have someone to help them. This need for help is not gender dependent. A crisis results in such a state of disequilibrium that it is generally self-limiting and not a long-term event. Experiencing a crisis may actually offer the family or individual a potential for growth and change.
