Question 1 of 5
A client presents to the emergency department with a flat affect and disheveled appearance. The nurse objectively can see that the client has experienced an adventitious crisis. Which are examples of adventitious crises? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,E
Rationale: The correct answers are A, B, and E. A natural disaster, death of a loved one, and experiencing violent crimes are examples of adventitious crises, which are unexpected and uncontrollable events that can lead to a psychological crisis. In this scenario, the client's flat affect and disheveled appearance indicate a significant distress reaction to the crisis.
Choices C and D, leaving home for the first time and loss of a job, are examples of developmental or situational crises, not adventitious crises. Developmental crises arise from normal life transitions, while situational crises result from specific stressors.
Therefore, they do not fit the definition of adventitious crises in this context.
