Which of the following is typically included in a crisis assessment?

• A. Financial investment strategies
• B. The presenting problem, safety risks, immediate needs, support networks, housing, health, safety planning, legal needs, and action prioritization
• C. Therapeutic modalities for long-term personality change
• D. A disaster response plan not relevant to IPV crisis

Answer: (C)

In crisis assessments, the focus is on rapidly stabilizing the situation by addressing safety and immediate needs. The elements you’d typically document and evaluate are the presenting problem, safety risks and imminent danger, immediate needs (such as food, shelter, clothing, medical care, and transportation), the person’s support networks, housing status, health concerns, safety planning, any legal needs, and a plan that prioritizes actions based on risk. This approach concentrates on what must be done right now to protect the person and connect them with essential resources.

Other options fall outside this immediate, practical scope. Financial investment strategies aren’t part of crisis stabilization, since they don’t address safety or urgent needs. Therapeutic modalities for long-term personality change belong to treatment planning rather than a crisis snapshot. A disaster response plan not relevant to IPV crisis isn’t typically included because it doesn’t address the immediate risk and needs tied to the current crisis situation.
