Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
In the crisis phase, the client is rationalizing about the cause of the situation. The general state of equilibrium in which a person is able to cope with everyday stress is termed precrisis. The resolution phase occurs when successful problem solving occurs. When the postcrisis phase begins, a client may be at a higher level of maturity and adaptation due to acquisition of new positive coping skills.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The correct answer indicates that the client is able to reflect on the event. The other answers reflect denial, withdrawal, or using alcohol as a coping mechanismall behaviors that would be more likely to occur during the crisis itself.
