Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The focus of crisis intervention is on the most recent problem: the straw that broke the camel's back. The patient had coped with the breast lesion, the husband's infidelity, and the disordered communication. Disequilibrium occurred only with the introduction of the daughter leaving college and moving.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The highest nursing priority is safety. The nurse should assess suicidal and homicidal potential. The distracters are options, but the highest priority is safety.
