Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Basic safety monitoring and status reporting of a patient in crisis involves surveillance for common illness and suicide prevention. Stress reduction techniques are components of basic coping skills, and are a separate topic than from monitoring and status reporting. Common emotional responses would not be addressed in a session on basic safety monitoring and status reporting.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
Explanation: When providing education to individuals in crisis, it is important for the nurse to provide hope and discuss options available to help patients and families cope with the crisis. The nurse should emphasize the importance of monitoring for behavioral changes during the adaptation stage of the General Adaptation Syndrome. Writing in a journal may help by providing a way for individuals to monitor feelings of anxiety or to document stress exposures. While every crisis is different, there are common emotions that occur while coping with crisis. The nurse should emphasize the importance of social support, not social isolation, during times of crisis.
