Answer to Question 1

D
A silent reaction to rape would be the sudden onset of phobic reactions. Other silent reactions include increased anxiety during the interview, no verbalization of the occurrence of rape, abrupt changes in relationships with men, increase in nightmares, and pronounced changes in sexual behavior.

Answer to Question 2

B
The most therapeutic communication is the one in which the nurse assesses the potential for violence by ascertaining the patient's plan, means, and commitment. The remaining options fail to do that satisfactorily.
