A 10-year-old girl was playing on a slide at a playground during a summer camp. She fell and broke her arm. The camp notified the parents and took the child to the emergency department according to the camp protocol for injuries. The parents arrive at the emergency department and are stressed and frantic. The 10-year-old is happy in the treatment room, eating a Popsicle and picking out the color of her cast. What is the correct order for the nurse's discussion with the parents? Show 1. "Can I contact someone to help you?" A. 2, 4, 3, 1 1 A situational crisis occurs when external sources such as a job change, motor vehicle crash, death, or severe illness trigger stress. Therefore, all the people who survived the accident may have a situational crisis. A developmental crisis occurs when there is a change in the developmental stage of a person such as a marriage, the birth of a child, or retirement that requires new coping styles. Therefore, the husband and wife will not have a developmental crisis. An adventitious crisis occurs in situations of a major natural disaster, man-made disaster, or a crime of violence. Therefore, none of the survivors will have an adventitious crisis. Recommended textbook solutions
