Crisis, Intimate Partner, And Sexual Violence Practice Test

Phase 4 of Crisis is characterized by what outcome?

Prevention. Anxiety can overwhelm the person and lead to serious illness. Detect and prevent worsening crisis. Provides support for recovery.

Correct Answer:

Anxiety can overwhelm the person and lead to serious illness.

Explanation:

Phase four describes what happens when crisis unfolds to a point where anxiety becomes overwhelming and the person’s functioning can breakdown, potentially leading to serious illness. This stage signals a severe disruption in coping, with risk of disorganization, withdrawal, or deterioration that requires urgent, intensive intervention to stabilize and prevent further harm. The other options reflect aims or states from earlier stages—preventing the crisis, detecting and slowing worsening early on, or focusing on recovery after stabilization—not the intense breakdown characteristic of phase four.
