The case manager providing crisis stabilization for a client with severe mental illness who states his
wallet was stolen and who is left without means of paying the rent will
use several principles. Put the interventions in the order in which they should be implemented.
A. Actively engage in problem solving to find new resources, as needed
B. Determine availability of additional social support
C. Clarify the reality of the situation
D. Identify realistic goals
C, D, B, A
Rationale: The case manager, using principles of crisis stabilization, would first clarify the situation,
then identify realistic goals considering the client's strengths. The case manager would then assess
availability of additional help from the client's social support system. If additional help from the
support system is not possible, the case manager must actively engage in problem solving to find
new resources to assist the client.
