The nurse facilitators of a critical incident stress debriefing (CISD) have asked for time and funds for a short social time with refreshments at the end of the final day of the session
Which rationale would the facilitator provide as the primary reason for this request? 1. It would mark closure for the emotions generated during the session.
2. It would provide time for the facilitators to summarize the work of the group.
3. This time would allow participants to ask questions of the facilitators privately.
4. Food is a cultural expression of caring.
3
Rationale 1: This is not the primary purpose for this social time.
Rationale 2: The summary is done in the reentry phase, which would precede the social time.
Rationale 3: Some participants may not wish to ask questions or enter into group discussion. The social time allows individuals to talk with facilitators privately.
Rationale 4: Many cultures do equate the provision of food with caring, but this is not the primary reason for this social time.
