Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Events for adults that might precipitate maturational crises include getting married, becoming a parent or grandparent, and retiring. Accidents, disasters, and wartime trauma are not examples of maturational crises.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The goal of a crisis group is the same as that of individual crisis intervention. A crisis group helps members regain or improve their functioning and ability to problem-solve. Providing support to the victims' families and leading the group without the nurse are not priorities. It is unrealistic to expect the workers to describe the accident without emotion.
