Answer to Question 1

D
Making a verbal outburst to the neighbors threatening harm would be the most likely reason for hospitalization. Recall that one of the critical questions regarding forced hospitalization is whether the client is a threat to self or others. Threatening a neighbor may be enough to demonstrate that the client is a threat to others.

Answer to Question 2

D
The loss of their automobile, luggage, and clothing can be seen as a situational crisis. This type of crisis is any event that poses a threat or challenge to an individual or family. A community crisis is a crisis of a proportion to affect an entire community of people. A maturational crisis is a stage in a person's life where adjustment and adaptation to new responsibilities and life patterns are necessary. A cultural crisis is a situation where a person experiences culture shock in the process of adapting or adjusting to a new culture or returning to one's own culture after being assimilated into another.
