[Melani1276]

An effective way of evaluating learning provided by crisis intervention therapy is to:
 
  1. Ask what the client would do if a similar situation occurred
  2. Discuss perceived need for further therapy
  3. Ask whether the client thinks past mistakes will be repeated
  4. Determine whether the client thinks medication would be helpful

Question 2

On the second appointment at the crisis clinic, the client tells the nurse, I worry hour after hour about my problem.
 
  I can't get away from it. I feel as though I'm going crazy. A helpful technique the nurse can recommend to the client to limit worry is to:
  1. Not think about the worrisome topic or situation at any time
  2. Talk about the worry with family and friends whenever it crops up
  3. Reserve an hour a day for worrying and devote the entire time to worry
  4. Call the crisis hot line whenever the worrisome thoughts intrude

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
This question is part of anticipatory planning. It provides a stimulus for clients to repeat what was learned during crisis intervention therapy. The other options will not provide data relevant to evaluation of learning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
This technique is called prescribe the symptom. Knowing that 1 hour can be devoted to worry frees the client to think about and do other things. Option 1 will not be effective; the client will continue to worry. Options 2 and 4 will not limit worry. They simply provide listeners for the ru-minations.
