Factors that can help accomplish crisis intervention that assists the client to resolve the crisis and return to a pre-crisis level are all of the following except

A. Initiating the early interventions yourself, as the client is too emotional

This undermines the collaborative nature of crisis intervention. Clients should be involved from the beginning where possible.

B. Introducing yourself and asking how the client wishes to be addressed

Establishing rapport, safety, and trust is foundational. Proper introduction and respectful communication create a therapeutic atmosphere.

C. Limiting the length of time allowed for the client to ventilate to avoid excessive emotional reactions

Ventilation is essential for emotional release. Setting rigid limits early may suppress important feelings and hinder the therapeutic process.

D. Assuming intimacy regarding their crisis as quickly as possible

Rushing into emotional closeness may be seen as intrusive or inappropriate. Boundaries and rapport should be developed gradually.

A. Divorce at age 50:

While potentially stressful, this is not universally stressful for everyone. Stressors are subjective.

B. Whatever the patient says is stressful:

This is the correct answer. A stressor is defined by the individual's perception—what is stressful to one person may not be to another.

C. Loss of a job at age 55:

This is a common stressor, but again, not every person would find it equally distressing.

D. Gallbladder surgery at age 46:

A surgery can be a physical stressor, but whether it is emotionally stressful varies by person.
