Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
While working with families in crisis, the intervener determines which family member is exhibiting crisis symptoms. Next, he or she attempts to identify what the client needs to ensure safety and security for all members of the family. In collaboration with the client and family, the intervener identifies strategies to reduce the most severe symptoms. He or she also assesses the family's resources and additional social resources. The intervener teaches about crisis and its resolution to the person in crisis and to supportive others.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Crisis intervention focuses on the problem or stressor that precipitated the crisis rather than on personality traits. The goal is to assist the person in distress to resolve the immediate problem and regain emotional equilibrium.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
