Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A resource map is a geographic map that outlines the resources that would be available in or near the area affected by a potential disaster (e.g., potential shelter sites, potential medical sources, and location of equipment that might be needed).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Working with victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) requires the nurse to establish rapport and trust; deal with issues of confidentiality honestly; provide current information regarding shelters and sources of support; and recognize and accept that clients may choose to stay in an abusive relationship. Because the nurse wants to establish rapport and trust, it would not be in the best interest of building this relationship if the nurse insist that she go to a safe shelter (rather the nurse should provide her the necessary information) or inform the woman she may be killed (rather the nurse should recognize and accept that the client may choose to stay in an abusive relationship). Additionally, the nurse should recognize that even if the assault is reported, it may be denied by the woman and will not result in an arrest of the perpetrator.
