Answer to Question 1

C
Intervention should begin with analysis of the client and the situation. With this response the nurse is
attempting to hear the client's feelings and concerns. This leads to the next step of planning an
intervention. Options A and D close off communication. Option B is not a concrete request for
information and could be misinterpreted.

Answer to Question 2

B
Secondary prevention involves intervention in abusive situations to minimize their disabling or
long-term effects. Community resources are mobilized to help find alternative ways to deal with
stress. Option A: Primary prevention refers to measures to prevent or reduce the occurrence of
abusive situations. Option C: Tertiary prevention refers to interventions aimed at reducing the
severity of mental illness or handicaps resulting from long-term, abusive trauma.
