Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a young adult client following the sudden death of his wife. The client feels paralyzed in his ability to cope with work and family responsibilities. Which of the following type of crisis is the client experiencing?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Situational crisis. This type of crisis occurs due to unexpected and traumatic events that overwhelm an individual's ability to cope. In this case, the sudden death of the client's wife has significantly impacted his ability to manage work and family responsibilities. Situational crises are typically time-limited and often require external support for resolution.
Other choices are incorrect because:
B: Adventitious crisis refers to a major disaster or traumatic event affecting a whole community, not just an individual.
C: Maturational crisis involves normal life transitions that may cause stress but are expected as part of personal growth.
D: Developmental crisis occurs during life stages such as adolescence or midlife, characterized by internal conflicts related to growth and maturity.
