Answer to Question 1

B
During crisis intervention, the nurse should guide the client through a problem-solving process. The nurse should help the individual confront the source of the problem, encourage the individual to discuss changes he or she would like to make, and encourage exploration of feelings about aspects of the crisis that cannot be changed. The nurse should also assist the client in determining whether any changes are realistic and if timing of change is appropriate. This response encourages the client to think through what may be an impulsive decision.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse should evaluate that the client who has developed adaptive coping strategies has achieved the goals of crisis intervention.
