A) Name of client's healthcare provider
B) Name of client
C) Address of client

Answer: D
Elements of a crisis care card include names and phone numbers of competent and willing family and friends; numbers of community resources, such as hotlines, mental health emergency centers, and local Emergency Departments; reasonable, non-suicidal responses to problems; and a list of activities that have helped in the past. The client's name, address, and physician are not usually a part of the crisis care card.
