Answer to Question 1

B
In a phenomenological study on culture and battered women in Hawaii, Colaizzi identified three major themes, including the experience of enduring terror and sadness. The other two themes were living in misery and no happy ending. The women in the study felt trapped and were unable to leave the batterer.

Answer to Question 2

A
Using Peplau's theory, when a client has resolved his or her initial suicidal crisis, the nurse in an acute care setting will terminate the relationship, ensuring that the client has a support system. The client should be able to identify when help is needed and from which resources (support system) from this help can be obtained. Because the nurse-client relationship is a professional relationship, the nurse ethically should not continue to be involved with the client in a nonprofessional manner.
