Answer to Question 1

A, B
Teaching about the risk of sexual misconduct is important for school-age children. Trickery, bribes, and the Internet are sources of potential danger. It would not be appropriate to ask students in a group setting if they had been inappropriately touched or which family members were trustworthy.

Answer to Question 2

B
Before proceeding with any further assessment, the nurse should assess the patient's ability to hear questions. Impaired hearing could lead to inaccurate answers.
