IPM stands for?

• A. Integrated Process Model
• B. Immediate Problem Management
• C. Inverted Pyramid Method
• D. Incremental Practice Method

Answer: (C)

IPM stands for Inverted Pyramid Method. The key idea is to present the most important information first, with details and supporting steps following. This structure makes the main point clear right away and then builds understanding as you add specifics, which is especially helpful in counseling when you need to explain goals or plans to a client or supervisor without having the main message get lost in details. The other options describe different constructs—Integrated Process Model focuses on combining processes, Immediate Problem Management emphasizes rapid crisis handling, and Incremental Practice Method implies gradual changes—so they don’t match the intended meaning of IPM in this context.
