Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The nurse should provide information about the accessibility of safe houses for battered women when working with a client who has symptoms of domestic physical abuse. Many women feel powerless within the abusive relationship and may be staying in the abusive relationship out of fear.

Answer to Question 2

B
This is the normal duration for ECT treatments. ECT treatments usually take only about 15 minutes, so it is incorrect to tell the client that they will last 1 hour. ECT is an invasive treatment that is usually a last resort rather than one of the first selected treatments. ECT raises levels of norepinephrine rather than lowering them.
