Answer to Question 1

C
A reflective communication technique is more helpful than discounting the victim's role. Looking at
one's role in the event serves to explain events that the victim would otherwise find
incomprehensible.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse working in crisis intervention must be creative and flexible in looking at the client's
situation and suggesting possible solutions for the client to consider. Giving advice is part of the
active role the crisis intervention therapist takes. The other options are used equally in crisis
intervention and traditional counseling roles.
