Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Short-term cognitive-behavioral therapy is considered the first-line treatment for individuals experiencing mood symptoms secondary to crisis. Pharmacotherapy, psychological first aid, and critical incident stress debriefing are therapies that may be used in the collaborative care of a patient experiencing crisis; however, these are not considered to be the first-line treatments for the patient experiencing mood symptoms secondary to crisis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
Explanation: Debriefing interventions aim to provide information regarding the crisis, elicit feelings and perceptions related to the crisis, provide education regarding normal responses to trauma, and provide resources for treatment and support. Debriefing interventions include those that address patients' need for resources such as transportation and spiritual support; strategies to recognize and respond appropriately to stress, such as maintaining a calendar or journal to document stress and anxiety; and teaching and reinforcing behavioral modifications such as relaxation techniques. Pharmacological therapy is not a common treatment for crisis; furthermore, sedatives are not commonly prescribed for the patient in crisis.
