  2. Explore earlier life experiences
  3. Explain computer-based crisis therapy
  4. Offer antianxiety medication

  1. Providing him the opportunity to talk about the experience
  2. Encouraging him to leave the area in order to forget the experience
  3. Suggesting he be admitted to a mental health facility
  4. Arranging for his minister to meet with him

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Maslow's hierarchy of need theory suggests that survival needs should be met first. Thus arrang-ing for food and shelter takes precedence over other concerns.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
The worker needs to be able to express his feelings and deal with the pain associated with the crisis event. Nurses can help facilitate understanding of the event by listening and teaching. Op-tion 2 would be inappropriate. Option 3 may not be necessary. Option 4 is incorrect because no data are given regarding whether or not the worker has a minister.
