Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

EPF, an immunosuppressant protein, is secreted by the trophoblastic cells of the developing embryo. This factor appears in the maternal serum within 24 to 48 hours after fertilization and forms the basis of a pregnancy test during the first 10 days of development. hCG can be detected in both the blood and the urine 7 to 12 days after conception.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Vulnerability factors increase one's risk of being a victim of violence. The client with a walking disability avoids the possibility of a crime by not going out alone at night. Predisposing factors are those that increase one's risk of violent victimization or perpetration of violence. Risk factors increase the potential that one will perpetrate violence on others. Precipitating factors are those that give rise to a specific incident of violence.
