Which term is a Coping Model component?

• A. Control
• B. Orient
• C. Give
• D. Patterns

Answer: (B)

The Coping Model aims to reduce uncertainty and help a person regain calm by guiding them to understand the situation and their options. Orient is the component that best fits this goal because it focuses on helping the person reorient to where they are, what’s happening, and what choices are available. By orienting, you establish a shared frame of reference, reduce confusion, and set the stage for taking deliberate next steps. For instance, you might acknowledge the environment and the moment, which helps the person feel less overwhelmed and more able to participate in choosing a calm course of action. The other terms don’t represent a named part of the Coping Model, so they don’t align with the intended sequence of reducing arousal through clear orientation.
