Which assessment finding would indicate that safety-focused interventions were effective?

• A. Amaya has adopted a safety plan to address immediate safety needs.
• B. Amaya verbalizes that she is not experiencing fear and panic anxiety.
• C. Amaya reports improved physical strength.
• D. Amaya has completed the follow-up appointment without distress.

Answer: (A)

Safety-focused interventions are meant to translate into concrete actions that reduce risk when danger arises. When Amaya has adopted a safety plan to address immediate safety needs, she has moved from talking about safety to actively organizing how to stay safe in real situations. A safety plan typically includes specific steps for what to do, who to contact, where to go, and how to access help if danger looms. This demonstrates readiness to implement protective measures in the moment, which is the clearest sign that the interventions are working. Other options—feeling less fear, gaining physical strength, or attending a follow-up appointment without distress—may reflect mood, health, or engagement with care, but they don’t show that practical safety strategies have been put into place to manage imminent risks.
