TCI Risk Assessment 2

Question 1

In TCI, dynamic risk factors in a crisis risk assessment are best described as:

Changeable factors such as current stress level, substance use, or recent life events that affect crisis likelihood

Answer

Dynamic risk factors are changeable, situational variables that fluctuate over time and directly affect a young person's current risk level.

Question 2

According to TCI, why is ongoing risk assessment MORE appropriate than a single point-in-time assessment?

Accepted Answer

A young person's risk level fluctuates based on dynamic factors that change throughout the day

Answer

Risk is not static - it fluctuates with changing circumstances, which requires ongoing rather than one-time assessment.

Question 3

In TCI risk assessment, which behavioral cue would MOST raise a caregiver's level of concern?

Accepted Answer

A young person who suddenly becomes very quiet after receiving upsetting news

A sudden withdrawal following upsetting news is a behavioral change that may indicate elevated emotional distress and warrants closer monitoring.

Question 4

TCI identifies protective factors in risk assessment as:

Accepted Answer

Factors that reduce the likelihood of a crisis, such as strong relationships and coping skills

Answer

Protective factors are strengths and supports in a young person's life that reduce their crisis vulnerability - these should be identified and leveraged in care planning.

A TCI risk assessment tool that considers imminent short-term risk to others would be MOST concerned with:

Accepted Answer

Current ideation, intent, plan, and access to means

Answer

Imminent risk assessment focuses on current ideation, intent, plan, and access to means - the most proximate indicators of near-term risk.
