A college student who was nearly raped while jogging, completes a series of appointments with a rape crisis nurse. At the final session, which client statement most clearly suggests that the goals of crisis intervention have been met?

1. "You've really been helpful. Can I count on your for continued support?"
2. "I work out in the college gym rather than jogging outdoors."
3. "I'm really glad I didn't go home. It would have been hard to come back."
4. "I carry mace when I jog. It makes me feel safe and secure."

Rationale: The nurse should evaluate that the client who has developed adaptive coping strategies has achieved the goals of crisis intervention. The final phase of crisis intervention involves evaluating the outcome of the crisis intervention and anticipatory planning.
