Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Clients in crisis look to health professionals to structure interactions. Introduce yourself briefly, and quickly orient the client to the purpose of the crisis questions and how the information will be used. Clients and families experiencing a crisis state require a compassionate, flexible, but clearly directive calm approach from nurses. The client should be placed in a quiet, lighted room with no shadows, away from the mainstream of activity. Ideally, one nurse should be the primary contact for information.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Everly defines a crisis state as an acute normal human response to severely abnormal circumstances; it is not a mental illness. Because a crisis state represents a personal response, two people experiencing the same crisis event will respond differently to it. A crisis state creates a temporary disconnect from attachment to others, loss of meaning, and a disruption of previous mastery skills.
