What does CPI's 'Nonviolent Crisis Intervention' training emphasize about the use of physical intervention?
Answer: Physical intervention is a last resort, used only when verbal and non-physical strategies have been exhausted and there is imminent risk
CPI training consistently positions physical intervention as a last resort after all de-escalation strategies have been tried.
After a physical intervention, staff are required to monitor the individual for which of the following?
Answer: Physiological distress including changes in skin color, breathing difficulty, or loss of consciousness
Post-restraint physiological monitoring is critical because physical interventions can cause respiratory or cardiovascular complications.
Which of the following BEST describes the purpose of a 'restraint reduction plan' following repeated crisis incidents?
Answer: To systematically identify and address triggers and unmet needs that lead to crises, with the goal of reducing physical interventions over time
Restraint reduction plans are proactive quality improvement tools that focus on root causes of crises to decrease reliance on physical interventions.
How should staff address their own emotional reactions following involvement in a crisis intervention?
Answer: Seek peer support, supervision, or employee assistance programs to process the experience
Processing emotional reactions through peer support or EAP resources is essential for staff resilience and ongoing effectiveness.

According to CPI principles, what should happen to the crisis intervention plan after a significant incident?
Answer: The plan should be reviewed and updated to incorporate new insights about the individual's triggers, needs, and effective support strategies
Crisis intervention plans must be living documents updated after significant incidents to reflect new understanding and improve future responses.
