Question

Which of the following is likely to be most beneficial to withdrawn or socially isolated survivors in the immediate aftermath of a disaster: Select one:

a. insisting they talk to others as a way of dealing with their own disaster experiences
b. encouraging them to help others so they take the focus off of themselves and their problems
c. discouraging interaction with others until their own concerns are fully addressed
d. helping them to think about the type of support that would be helpful to them
e. reminding them to avoid contact with other survivors if they are not ready to engage in conversation

Answer 1

Answer: A

Explanation: insisting that they share their problems with others can help them in a way. It helps then to feel relieved, because isolation can be dangerous for them at that level and as the wise one says, a problem shared is a problem solved.
