Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: The evidence must remain in the hands of the nurse until handed directly to the police.
Rationale 2: Evidence is not collected to determine whether the patient was sexually active previous to the rape. One function of collecting evidence is to corroborate that sexual activity has taken place.
Rationale 3: DNA can be obtained from collected evidence to identify the rapist.
Rationale 4: Diagnosis of infection cannot be made from evidence. Consequently, rape victims are given preventative therapy against sexually transmitted infections (including gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV) as soon as possible after the assault.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. After administration, the nurse massages the eyelid gently to distribute the ointment.
