Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
An adventitious crisis is an outside external event that causes trauma and disruption, usually to many people. Examples include terrorism, natural disasters, hurricanes, fires, floods, earthquakes, riots, unusual media events, kidnappings, wars, and bombings. Acute and post-traumatic stress reactions are common outcomes. A situational crisis is a response to a sudden and unavoidable traumatic event that largely affects a person's identity and roles. A developmental or maturational crisis results from normal life events that cause stress. Natural crisis is not one of the three types of crisis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
A situational crisis is a response to a sudden and unavoidable traumatic event that largely affects a person's identity and roles. The threat to a person's self-image or roles that maintain that self-image usually leads to a crisis state. Loss of a spouse or job, academic failure, birth of a child with a disability, or diagnosis with a chronic or terminal illness affects how people perceive themselves. A maturational (developmental) crisis results from normal life events that cause stress. An adventitious crisis is an outside external event that causes trauma and disruption, usually to many people. Social crisis is not one of the three types of crisis.
