Answer to Question 1

3. Encourage the family to ask questions and express feelings

Rationale:
While families may need education about seatbelts and sources of support, it is not the optimal time to implement such teaching at this point in the crisis. It is optimal to find out what the family's perception is of what is going on and what they feel their needs are. The best way to determine this is to encourage them to ask questions and express their feelings. Timelines for visitation are appropriate but are not the priority.

Answer to Question 2

3. Overcome denial

Rationale:
The initial outcome for clients in substance abuse programs is to overcome denial. Clients will be unable to participate fully in a recovery program until they can admit that they have a substance abuse problem, admit the extent of that problem, and acknowledge how abuse has impacted their life. Learning problem-solving is a later outcome for a substance abuse program. Taking a moral inventory and making amends are the fourth and eighth steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and would not be initial outcomes.
