Answer to Question 1

C
When the nurse suspects abuse, it is appropriate to speak directly to the issue. Two distracters are presumptuous and blaming. The other distracter offers a ready-made excuse for the bruises.

Answer to Question 2

B
Scarring, burns, and missing teeth fit the picture of ritual abuse. The fear of examination relates to having to remove clothes in preparation for torture. The distracters are more consistent with schizophrenia, bulimia nervosa, and antisocial personality disorder.
