• crisis occurs when an individual: •

a. is exposed to a precipitating stressor. •
b. perceives a stressor to be threatening. •
c. has no support systems. •
d. experiences a stressor and perceives coping strategies to be ineffective.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: D. experiences a stressor and perceives coping strategies to be ineffective.

When previous coping strategies couldn't handle ths stressor, people would experience a rise in anxiety that would often lead to many irrational/hastened behavior. As soon as crisis is handled succsfully , the likelihood of it repeating again in the future is dramatically decreased
