Question

A tornado ripped through a small town, killing 5 and seriously injuring 21, including several young children. At a defusing session, which one of the following is most appropriate?

A: Have a mental health professional talk with the rescuers
B: Evaluate and critique the rescue effort
C: Provide information on stress reduction techniques
D: Allow rescuers to vent their emotions

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Although it can be traumatic seeing so much damage and destruction, a rescuer does not necessarily need to speak with mental health professionals. Simply venting about their emotions and talking about their thoughts in that moment could help.

Critiquing the rescue effort will not do any good. It is rather more important to assist the rescuers and maybe offer suggestions for improvement after the crises have been averted.
