Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,C,D

a. time of day. The time of day is not a significant factor in determining whether a situation will be perceived as a crisis.
b. client's perception of the event. This is correct because an individual's perception of an event greatly influences whether it is experienced as a crisis.
c. availability of adequate coping mechanisms. This is correct because having effective coping mechanisms can mitigate the impact of a stressful situation and prevent it from becoming a crisis.
d. availability of supports. This is correct because having a supportive network can help individuals manage stress and reduce the likelihood of a crisis.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

a. While taking slow, deep breaths can help with relaxation and possibly with managing anxiety or panic attacks, it is not directly addressing the combined side effects of these medications.
b. Wearing sunscreen and avoiding midday sun exposure is important to prevent photosensitivity reactions caused by some antipsychotics, but it is not related to the combined effects of antipsychotics and beta-blockers.
c. Watching diet and engaging in physical activity are generally good health practices but do not specifically address the combined side effects of these medications.
d. "Rise slowly when you change position from lying to sitting or sitting to standing." Both antipsychotics and beta-adrenergic blocking agents can cause orthostatic hypotension, which is a sudden drop in blood pressure when changing positions. This can lead to dizziness, lightheadedness, or even fainting. Advising the client to rise slowly helps to prevent these effects and ensures the client’s safety

A. Reaction Formation B. Projection C. Sublimation D. Repression

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

a. Reaction Formation: Reaction formation involves expressing the opposite of what one truly feels. Exploring a career that involves controlled expression of anger (such as professional wrestling) can be seen as a reaction formation against uncontrolled anger.
b. Projection: Projection involves attributing one's own unacceptable feelings or thoughts to others. Exploring a career in professional wrestling does not involve projecting one's own feelings onto others.
c. Sublimation: This is correct because sublimation involves channeling unacceptable impulses into socially acceptable activities. Exploring a career in professional wrestling could be seen as channeling anger into a constructive and socially acceptable outlet.
d. Repression: Repression involves pushing unacceptable thoughts or memories out of consciousness. Exploring a career in professional wrestling does not involve repressing anger but rather finding a way to express it constructively.
