Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The rape victim has immediate and long-term responses to her experience. She can have long-term psychological complications that may be averted with appropriate counseling. The nurse's approach can help the woman regain a feeling of control, which can be helpful immediately and in the future.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Proper medications, including Acyclovir and valacyclovir, can reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks but do not cure HSV. Also, they cannot be given during pregnancy. HSV can be transmitted from the mother to her baby as the baby passes through the birth canal.
