Answer to Question 1

A
A nursing approach found to increase the likelihood of patients sharing their experience of domestic violence is for the nurse to wear a button indicating that it is OK for the woman to talk about the experience of domestic violence. Another approach that has been successful is to post signs that the woman is in a safe place and should feel comfortable with sharing her experience.

Answer to Question 2

A
The most appropriate action for the nurse to take is to confront the client. Individuals with medical conditions are at risk for developing depression and contemplating suicide. The suicide rate of clients with cancer is probably elevated, particularly in the first year after diagnosis. The nurse would recognize this risk and use confrontation in an attempt to provide a safe environment for the client and prevent suicide attempts.
