Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
After the honeymoon period of 4 weeks to 6 months after the disaster, there may be a period of disillusionment that may last up to 2 years after the disaster.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Among the central goals of crisis intervention is the goal to decrease the client's emotional stress and protect the client from additional stress. This supersedes the importance of fostering insight and promoting empathy. Questioning the client's contribution to the crisis is inappropriate and counterproductive.
