A group of disaster survivors is working with the critical incident stress management (CISM) team. Members of this team should be guided by what goal?
A) Determining whether the incident was managed effectively
B) Educating survivors on potential coping strategies for future disasters
C) Providing individuals with education about recognizing stress reactions
D) Determining if individuals responded appropriately during the incident
Ans: C
Feedback:
In defusing, patients are given information about recognizing stress reactions and how to deal with handling the stress they may experience. Debriefing involves asking patients about their current emotional coping and symptoms, following up, and identifying patients who require further assessment and assistance in dealing with the stress experienced. The CISM team does not focus primarily on the management of the incident or on providing skills for future incidents.
