Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Victims require the nurse to provide unconditional acceptance of them as individuals, because they often feel guilty and engage in self-blame. The nurse must be nurturing if the victim's needs are to be met and must be empathetic to convey understanding and to promote an establishment of trust.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Agreeing to keep a follow-up appointment is a realistic short-term outcome. The incorrect options are unlikely to occur during the limited time the victim is in the emergency department.
