Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Crisis occurs when there is a perceived challenge or threat that overwhelms the capacity of the individual to cope effectively with the event. Life is disrupted, and unexpected emotional (e.g., depression) and biologic (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches) responses occur. Functioning is severely impaired. Although feelings of upset, confusion, hurt, and sadness may occur with a crisis, the key component is impaired functioning.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C, D, E
The manner of anger expression is not the only important aspect of assessment. The difficulty in regulating the frequency and intensity of anger must also be assessed, along with the extent to which anger is creating problems in work or intimate relationships. The nurse should also assess for the presence or absence of coping techniques such as calming or diffusion through vigorous exercise.
