Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Nursing care is based on complete assessments. Thus, a plan cannot be developed prior to meeting with the patient. The time frame, whether short-term or long-term, and the need for follow-up, will be determined by the findings of the assessment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: Situational crises develop in response to sudden, unexpected traumatic life events. Situational crises often are beyond the established coping capabilities of the individuals experiencing them. Situational crises can arise from many kinds of precipitants, including immigration. Acute and chronic illness, such as depression and psychosis, may lead to situational crises. Legal problems, such as arrest and incarceration, may lead to a situational crisis. The teenager who is graduating high school is most at risk for a maturational crisis, not a situational crisis.
