Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Following a community-wide crisis, the nurse will focus patient education on basic coping skills. Rather than providing education on long-term interventions, the nurse should focus education on short-term interventions. Taking a direct and instructional approach to crisis education is more important than patient-nurse collaboration. The nurse will not provide patient education on therapeutic communication during crisis; rather, the nurse will use therapeutic communication when providing patient education.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: When providing education to faculty and staff, the nurse will provide general education regarding crisis, including information related to the stages of the General Adaptation Syndrome, the importance of social connectivity, and basic coping skills. Individuals from different cultures may respond differently in times of crisis. Psychological debriefing should be conducted by a trained professional.
