Phase 4 emphasizes which aspect?

• A. Assessment
• B. Planning
• C. Intervention
• D. Evaluation of Crisis Resolution and Anticipatory Planning

Answer: (D)

Phase 4 centers on evaluating how well the crisis resolution worked and building plans to prevent recurrence. After the initial stabilization and implementation of coping strategies, this stage asks: has the immediate crisis been resolved? Are safety and functioning restored? What needs remain, and how effective were the chosen strategies? It also emphasizes anticipatory planning—teaching the person to recognize early warning signs, arranging ongoing supports, and setting up follow-up contacts or referrals so they are better prepared for future stressors. In short, it moves from solving the immediate problem to confirming outcomes and equipping the person with a proactive, long-term plan.
