Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Supporting the privacy of the assault victim is the most appropriate action for the nurse to take when providing care. When providing emergency care, it is not the most appropriate time to as-sess the client's socioeconomic status or educate the victim about violence prevention. The foren-sic nurse will need to document the victim's account of the assault; however, there will be law enforcement involved to collect this data.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
If disability, incarceration, or death occurs, tertiary prevention is applied in settings appropriate to address rehabilitation or identify factors that have put individuals at risk. Primary prevention fo-cuses on preventing violence and injuries before they occur. Secondary prevention occurs fol-lowing the occurrence of injuries and crime. This includes direct care provided to victims and perpetrators as well as the collection of evidence.
