Foundations for Crisis Intervention - correct answer ✔Crisis is self limiting
and usually resolves within 4-6 wks. At the resolution of a crisis, the pt will
emerge at 1 of 3 functional levels (Higher level, same level, or lower level).
The goal is to return pt to at least pre crisis level. form of crisis resolution
depends on pt's actions and others interventions. people are often more
receptive than usual to outside intervention. with intervention, the pt can learn
different adaptive means of problem solving to correct inadequate solutions.
Pt in a crisis situation is assumed to be mentally healthy, to have functioned
well in past, and to be presently in a state of disequilibrium. Deals only with
pt's present problem and resolution of immediate crisis. Nurse must be willing
to take an active, even directive, role in intervention, which is in direct contrast
to conventional therapeutic intervention that stresses a more passive and
nondirective role. early intervention probably increase the chances for a good
prognosis. pt is encouraged to set realistic goals and plan a focused
intervention with nurse.
