Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: A maturational crisis may occur when an individual has difficulty achieving a developmental task such as graduating from high school. Situational crises typically arise from sudden, unanticipated events or changes. The patient likely knew about the failing grades. Adventitious crises arise from traumatic events that are well beyond the expected scope of normal human experience, such as violent crime, natural disasters, war, and terrorism. Biological is a stage of wellness, not crisis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: If the patient is ready to leave, the nurse must help ensure the patient's safety by helping the patient find temporary, safe shelter. For patients who need time or are not ready to leave an abusive situation, it is important to help them develop plans for their safety (and for the safety of their family, if the victim has children or other dependents) and provide support until they are able to resolve this problem. The nurse can support the patient in contacting the police and filing a domestic violence report, but doing so will not ensure the patient's immediate safety, which is the nurse's priority for care.
