Ans: B
Feedback:
CISD focuses on the present, is completed in one session, and requires an active nursing role (Ragaisis, 1994). Nurses can apply CISD to individuals, groups, and families. It usually takes place within 24 to 72 hours of the incident. Integrating the nursing process with CISD consists of seven phases: introductory, fact, thought, reaction, symptom, teaching, and reentry. The first five phases are part of assessment, the teaching and reentry phases are intervention, and evaluation takes place at the end (Ragaisis, 1994).
