Question 2 of 5
A client has undergone psychological testing. With which member of the interdisciplinary team should a nurse collaborate to review these results?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: When a client has undergone psychological testing, collaborating with the clinical psychologist on the interdisciplinary team to review these results would be most appropriate. Clinical psychologists are experts in psychological assessment and are trained to interpret and provide insights on the results of psychological tests. Collaborating with the clinical psychologist ensures that the nurse is getting an expert opinion on the testing results, which can help in planning and executing appropriate care interventions for the client based on the test findings. Additionally, the clinical psychologist can provide valuable recommendations for further evaluation or treatment strategies based on the results of the psychological testing.
Question 3 of 5
A wife brings her husband to an emergency department after an attempt to hang himself. He is a full- time student and works 8 hours at night to support his family. He states, I cant function any longer under all this stress. Which type of crisis is the client experiencing?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: In this scenario, the husband is experiencing an anticipated life transition crisis. This type of crisis occurs when an individual is unable to cope with expected changes in life, such as balancing work, studies, and family responsibilities. The husband's statement, "I can't function any longer under all this stress," indicates that he is overwhelmed by the demands of his current situation and is struggling to adapt to the changes. Anticipated life transition crises are common during periods of significant life changes, such as starting a new job, moving to a new place, or taking on additional responsibilities. In this case, the husband's suicide attempt is a result of his inability to manage the stress associated with his role as a full-time student and night shift worker supporting his family.

This suggests that the client has progressed from a state of vulnerability and fear to a sense of empowerment and confidence in addressing her safety concerns. It reflects the goals of crisis intervention, which include helping the individual regain a sense of control and ability to cope effectively with the aftermath of a crisis.
