A client who is nearing high school graduation is having difficulty finishing out the year, cries at night, has difficulty sleeping, and does not want to attend classes. Which type of crisis does the nurse identify?
1. Maturational crisis
2. Recoil response
3. Situational crisis
4. Trauma from previous crisis
1. Maturational crisis
Rationale:
Senior year is a transition to work or college. This is a developmental progression to the next level of maturity, a predictable event experienced by nearly all individuals. Situational crises typically arise from sudden, unanticipated events or changes. In recoil, the initial stress has passed, which is not the case for the client who is nearing graduation. There is not enough information to assess the presence of a previous trauma.
