Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Men are far more likely to resist help during a time of crisis because help-seeking behaviors may challenge social norms of masculinity and induce a sense of vulnerability. Men usually access intervention only when in acute crisis; for this reason, it is critical to initiate crisis intervention within 24 to 48 hours of initial contact. The most successful interventions for men include the utilization of peer-led men's support groups, not individual psychotherapy.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: In intercultural situations, the nurse must provide culturally competent care with interventions centered on the involvement of local community leadership. How individuals perceive crisis can vary among cultures, as can manifestations. Local community leadership will have the greatest information about resources available locally and can provide valuable information on what community members will perceive as their greatest needs. How individuals express pain or respond to trauma may also vary, and nurses should work with members of the community to ensure they provide culturally competent care and not assess individual patients based solely on Western norms.
