A client, aged 16 years, comes to the crisis clinic. The nurse learns the client is being molested by
  her uncle. The client told her mother, who accused her of lying. To proceed with crisis intervention,
  the nurse must assume that
 
  a. the client has a demonstrated previous ability to cope.
  b. the client will not be open to a therapist's intervention.
  c. the therapist must help the client resolve past and current issues.
  d. the therapist must assume a passive, nondirective role as the client problem
  solves.

A
Crisis intervention is aimed at maintaining, at a minimum, the precrisis level of functioning. Crisis
intervention is therefore appropriate only for someone who functioned adequately before the crisis.
Option B: This assumption would obstruct crisis intervention. Option C: The focus of crisis
intervention is on only the present problem. Option D: The therapist must be prepared to assume an
active, direct role if necessary.
