Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Community-based crisis intervention, by a case manager or at a crisis clinic, often resolves or
manages client problems so hospitalization may be averted. Options A, B, and C refer to
interventions and processes that take place after admission.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The client has a right to know the conditions of the nurse-client relationship. If the relationship is to
be time limited, the client should be informed of the number of sessions. If it is open ended, the
termination date will not be known at the outset, and the client should know that the issue will be
negotiated at a later date. Option A: Termination is usually discussed during the orientation phase.
Option B: Termination is discussed from the outset. Option D: The nurse is responsible for
discussing termination early in the relationship.
