CIP CIP Crisis Management & De-escalation 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which model specifically addresses crisis intervention through a structured problem-solving framework?
- Roberts' Seven-Stage Crisis Intervention Model (Correct answer)
- Motivational Interviewing Model
- ARISE Intervention Model
- Johnson Intervention Model
Correct answer: Roberts' Seven-Stage Crisis Intervention Model
Roberts' Seven-Stage Crisis Intervention Model provides a structured problem-solving framework widely used in crisis intervention practice.
Question 2: A CIP interventionist should recognize that threatening to 'cut off' a loved one in the intervention letter is:
- A consequence, not a threat, and must be something the family member can follow through on (Correct answer)
- Never appropriate under any circumstances
- Only effective for adolescent clients
- Required in all intervention models
Correct answer: A consequence, not a threat, and must be something the family member can follow through on
Consequences stated in intervention letters must be real, actionable commitments that family members are genuinely prepared to enforce.
Question 3: When a client is intoxicated at the time of the intervention, the CIP should:
- Assess the level of intoxication and decide whether to proceed or reschedule (Correct answer)
- Always proceed regardless of intoxication level
- Always reschedule without assessment
- Contact the client's prescribing physician before any decision
Correct answer: Assess the level of intoxication and decide whether to proceed or reschedule
The decision to proceed with an intoxicated client depends on assessed safety and whether meaningful engagement is possible.
Question 4: The term 'crisis' in crisis intervention is BEST defined as:
- A state of disequilibrium where usual coping mechanisms have failed (Correct answer)
- Any emergency requiring immediate hospitalization
- A dangerous situation involving law enforcement
- A planned therapeutic technique
Correct answer: A state of disequilibrium where usual coping mechanisms have failed
A crisis is characterized by a breakdown in usual coping mechanisms, creating disequilibrium that requires new problem-solving strategies.
Question 5: Which factor MOST increases risk during a substance-use-related crisis intervention?
- Client having a co-occurring mental health disorder (Correct answer)
- Client being employed full-time
- Family members being present
- Intervention being held in the client's home
Correct answer: Client having a co-occurring mental health disorder
Co-occurring mental health disorders significantly increase complexity and risk during substance-use interventions requiring specialized planning.
Question 6: Post-intervention, if the client refuses treatment, the CIP's NEXT step is to:
- Support the family in implementing their stated consequences (Correct answer)
- Immediately schedule another intervention
- Contact a treatment center without client consent
- Encourage the family to delay consequences temporarily
Correct answer: Support the family in implementing their stated consequences
When a client refuses treatment, supporting the family in following through on their stated consequences is essential to the intervention's integrity.
