Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Safety interventions to protect people in crisis from harm should include preventing the individuals from committing suicide or homicide, arranging for food and shelter (if needed), and mobilizing social support. Additionally, the priorities of physical needs surpass those of psychosocial needs. After the individual's safety needs are met, the nurse can address the psychosocial aspects of the crisis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
In a disaster, shelter, money, and food may not be available. The absence of basic human needs such as food, a place to live, or immediate transportation quickly becomes a priority that may precipitate acts of violence. Additionally, the victims may experience economic distress because of job loss and loss of other resources. This may ultimately lead to psychological distress, potential acts of aggression, and other mental health problems. Long-term mental health consequences are evident in most disasters.
