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 types of crisis is the client experiencing?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Situational crisis. The client is experiencing a crisis due to a specific event - the sudden death of his wife. Situational crises are triggered by external events and disrupt an individual's ability to cope with daily life. In this case, the client's paralysis in coping with work and family responsibilities is directly linked to the situational crisis of losing his wife.
A: Maturational crisis occurs due to normal life transitions, such as marriage or starting a new job.
B: Adventitious crisis results from a natural disaster or traumatic event affecting a community.
C: Developmental crisis involves struggles related to normal life stages, like adolescence or midlife crisis.
In summary, the client's crisis is situational because it is caused by a specific event, differentiating it from maturational, adventitious, and developmental crises.
