Answer to Question 1

A
Problems commonly experienced by practitioners of crisis intervention are the need to be needed,
the creation of unrealistic goals for clients, difficulty dealing with the issue of suicide, and difficulty
terminating. The other options refer to personal qualities that enhance nursing effectiveness.

Answer to Question 2

A
Affable, eager-to-please individuals are easily manipulated and vulnerable on the streets. Individuals
who are suspicious of the motives of others are not as vulnerable to harm on the street. The scenario
does not suggest that the client relates well to others, has self-confidence, or is assertive.
