[OSWALD]

The major rationale for careful ongoing assessment of a client with adjustment disorder is:
 
  1. Symptoms abate within 6 months and the client must receive a timely discharge
  2. The disorder may be a precursor to a more serious mental health problem
  3. Practitioners become less discerning as they become more familiar with the client
  4. Clients with adjustment disorders have a high suicide rate

Question 2

Which question would be most effective in helping a client with an adjustment disorder identify the event that preceded her difficulty?
 
  1. Can you tell me about your support system?
  2. Have you been in therapy before?
  3. What has happened in your recent past?
  4. How do you handle problems in your life?

Adjustment disorders usually improve with identification of the stressor and development of coping strategies to relieve stress.
