The goal of crisis intervention has been met when a mother who lost her job:
- A. Is able to begin a search for a new job.
- B. Is no longer angry with her employer.
- C. Describes her new job as being better than the old one.
- D. Accepts a new job that requires a move to another state.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the goal of crisis intervention is to help the individual cope with the crisis and move towards a positive resolution. In this case, the mother describing her new job as better than the old one indicates that she has successfully transitioned from the crisis of losing her job to a positive outcome. Choice A is incorrect because just beginning a job search does not guarantee a successful resolution. Choice B is incorrect as resolving anger towards the employer is not the primary goal of crisis intervention. Choice D is incorrect because accepting a job that requires moving may not necessarily mean it is a better job than the previous one.
