A patient who is a senior in high school fails two classes and is unable to graduate. Which type of crisis is the patient likely experiencing?
1. Biological crisis
2. Situational crisis
3. Adventitious crisis
4. Maturational crisis
Answer: 4
Explanation: A maturational crisis may occur when an individual has difficulty achieving a developmental task such as graduating from high school. Situational crises typically arise from sudden, unanticipated events or changes. The patient likely knew about the failing grades. Adventitious crises arise from traumatic events that are well beyond the expected scope of normal human experience, such as violent crime, natural disasters, war, and terrorism. Biological is a stage of wellness, not crisis.
