Which period reflects how much time it usually takes for a crisis to self-
resolve?
1 to 10 days
1 to 3 weeks
4 to 6 weeks
, 3 to 4 months

anxiety, and the crisis is no longer a crisis. These adjustments usually cannot be made

under ordinary circumstances and that the action can be carried out in the given
situation.

maturational level to another?
Reactive
Adventitious
Situational

Rationale
Developmental crises are normal states in growth and development in which specific
new maturational tasks must be learned when old coping mechanisms are no longer
effective. An adventitious crisis is not a part of everyday life; it results from events that

the stress by talking to others. Some patients tend to overeat to cope with stress.
