A woman says, I can't take it anymore Last year my husband had an affair and now we don't communicate. Three months ago, I found a lump in my breast. Yesterday my daughter said she's quitting college.
 
  If this person's immediate family is unable to provide sufficient situational support, the nurse should:
 
  a. suggest hospitalization for a short period.
  b. ask what other relatives or friends are available for support.
  c. tell the patient, You must be strong. Don't let this crisis overwhelm you.
  d. foster insight by relating the present situation to earlier situations involving loss.

ANS: B
The assessment of situational supports should continue. Although the patient's nuclear family may not be supportive, other situational supports may be available. If they are adequate, admission to an inpatient unit will be unnecessary. Psychotherapy is not appropriate for crisis intervention. Advice is usually nontherapeutic.
