Answer to Question 1

3
Explanation: 3. The nurse should suspect that the client is in an abusive relationship. The priority is for the nurse to get the client away from the boyfriend and continue the interview.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: Using a urine specimen just before going to bed at night is not the correct instruction.
Rationale 2: Drinking a lot of fluids and waiting at least 4 hours before voiding is not necessary, and is not the correct instruction.
Rationale 3: This information is not correct; diabetes does not affect the pregnancy test results.
Rationale 4: The patient should always use the first voided specimen in the morning, as it is more concentrated.
