Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Immediately after the assault, rape victims are often disorganized and unable to think well or remember instructions. Written information acknowledges this fact and provides a solution. The distracters violate the patient's right to privacy, evidence a rescue fantasy, and offer a platitude that is neither therapeutic nor effective.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Only the key describes a scenario in which the sexual contact is consensual. Consensual sex is not considered rape if the participants are of legal age.
