Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C, D, E
Feedback:
Appropriate questions to ask a client to assess for lethality risks associated with intimate partner violence include the following: (1) Is there a gun in the house? (2) Is the woman's partner unemployed? (3) What is the worst thing the partner has ever done to the victim? (4) Does the victim feel that the partner is capable of hurting her, of carrying out his threats? (5) Has the woman's partner ever been arrested? (6) Is the woman's partner (not the woman herself) using drugs or drinking excessively?

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D
Feedback:
Risk factors that indicate significant concern for the safety of the children are as follows: (1) threats to kill the caretaker, children, and/or self or fears on the part of the caretaker for the children's safety; (2) a child was physically injured in an incident in which the caretaker was the target; (3) a child was coerced to participate in or witness the abuse of the caretaker; (4) a weapon was used or threats to use a weapon were made, and the caretaker believed that there was intention and ability to cause harm. A toddler crying because of an argument and a father taking away a daughter's phone for a month are not causes for significant concern regarding the safety of the children.
