A young woman was recently brought into an emergency department after being violently raped. Which is the most appropriate nursing intervention?
 
  A) Discouraging her from discussing the event because this may further traumatize her
  B) Remaining nonjudgmental and actively listening to her recount of the events
  C) Avoiding discussion of the rape because the nurse may be subpoenaed to testify in court
  D) Helping the victim recount the episode by leading the conversation

Question 2

An ancillary staff member new to the night shift states, I love working, but lately I'm so depressed for no apparent reason. What should I do? Which nursing response would be most therapeutic?
 
  a. I'm sure it is just temporary. If you just visit a tanning salon, the depression will be relieved more quickly..
  b. As your friend I cannot advise you. You need to see a psychiatrist. Remember, the longer you wait, the worse depression becomes..
  c. It may be that you aren't getting enough sunlight working the night shift. I'd suggest you discuss the possibility of phototherapy with your health care provider..
  d. This seems temporary and will most likely disappear when you get used to this work schedule. In the meanwhile, get one of those special lights for your home..
