Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client is experiencing symptoms of exhaustion and anxiety due to overwork and stress. To address this crisis, the primary goal should be to help the client return to previous adaptive levels of functioning, which would involve reducing anxiety, improving sleep and appetite, and adjusting work schedule. Changing personality traits, listing positive self-attributes, or examining childhood events may be useful interventions in the long-term, but they are unlikely to address the immediate crisis. Therefore, option D is the most realistic long-term outcome for the client's crisis.
