Answer to Question 1

B
The last phase of crisis intervention is evaluation, when the nurse and patient evaluate whether the intervention resulted in a positive resolution of the crisis. One area to explore is whether the patient has returned to the precrisis level of functioning.

Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse's interventions have been helpful if the evaluation of the client's communication determines that the client is able to discuss fears experienced while in graduate school. The other options would not indicate that the client has addressed factors causing the emotional state.
