Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Sexual abuse occurs in all ethnic, religious, economic, and cultural subgroups. Affinity systemsimmediate family, relatives, friends, neighbors, clergy, scout leadersaccount for 75 to 90 of the abusers. Male perpetrators are involved in 90 of reported cases. Although fatherdaughter incest is most reported, it is believed that sibling incest is the most widespread. Some siblings turn to each other for emotional nurturance and acceptance. In other instances a sibling uses coercion or violence to perpetrate the abuse. More than 41 of sexual assaults occurred in or near the victim's home and 41 of sexual assaults were reported to law enforcement.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Asking for support indicates that the nurse recognizes the emotional challenges of working on a locked psychiatric unit, has engaged in self-reflection, and realizes the value of sharing perceptions, feelings, and concerns with professional colleagues in order to fulfill professional responsibilities. Thinking that one would need a course in self-defense reflects the self-view that the nurse's personal integration is threatened by the environment of the locked unit. Believing that there is a fine line between the clients and staff reveals the nurse has difficulty separating his or her own identity from the client's. Believing that engaging in therapeutic interventions will maintain boundaries indicates a hierarchical perspective of helping others and that the nurse inherently knows how clients should act or feel.
