Nursing intervention for the postpartum woman using the crisis model includes which of the following?
a. Identify resources that assist the woman to develop coping strategies.
b. Assess the maturational level of the family.
c. Assist the family as it interacts with the medical care system.
d. Assess the internal relationships of the family members.
A
People in crisis are those whose balance has been disrupted, requiring the development of new coping strategies. The best action a nurse can take is to identify resources that facilitate the development of these strategies. Assessing the maturational level of the family is related to the developmental theory, not the crisis theory. Not all interactions with the medical care system involve crises. Assessing the internal relationships of the family members is appropriate when working with all families, not just those in crisis.
